🐾Breed of the Month: ft. Ninawey🐾

Yorkshire Terriers, commonly called Yorkies, are small dogs originally bred in England to catch rats in textile mills. They typically weigh around 7 pounds and have a long, silky coat that requires regular grooming.

Yorkies are known for their bold and feisty temperament, often acting much larger than their size. They are loyal and affectionate companions, making them popular as both pets and show dogs.

Yorkies need regular grooming due to their long, silky coats. Brush their hair daily to prevent tangles and mats. Regular grooming keeps Yorkies looking their best and feeling comfortable.

🐾Breed of the Month ft. Sadie🐾

Australian Shepherds, often called Aussies, are a highly intelligent and energetic breed originally developed in the United States, not Australia, despite their name.

They are renowned for their herding abilities, often used on farms and ranches.

Aussies typically have a lifespan of 12-15 years and come in a variety of colors, including blue merle, red merle, black, and red. Known for their striking blue or heterochromatic eyes, these dogs are also popular for their loyalty and agility, making them excellent companions for active families and individuals.

The shop will be closed from June 6th to June 9th as I’m heading to Halifax for the Maritime Doggie Expo! Thanks for your understanding! 🐩🐾

⭐️ Breed of the Month! Ft. Tulie ⭐️

Doodles are hybrid dogs resulting from the crossbreeding of Poodles with other breeds, such as Golden Retrievers (Goldendoodles) or Labradors (Labradoodles). Doodles are known for their friendly and sociable nature. They are typically good with children, other pets, and strangers.

They are prized for their typical low-shedding coats, making them suitable for people with allergies. However, their curly/wavy coats require frequent brushing and grooming to prevent mats and tangles. Their appearance can vary widely depending on the mix, including variations in coat color, texture, and overall build.

As we transition into summer, please note that operating hours will be changing to better accommodate the season's activities and needs.

Starting from July 1st, the new hours of operation will be from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday through Thursday. I hope this adjustment will provide greater flexibility and convenience for everyone.

If you have any appointments scheduled that may be affected by these changes, I will be reaching out to you personally to reschedule at a time that works best for you. If you have any questions or immediate concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Thank you for your continued support and enjoy the summer!

🐾 Important Announcement 🐾

Dear valued customers,

After careful consideration, I've made the decision to temporarily pause accepting new clients for dog grooming services. This step is necessary to ensure I can continue providing the highest level of care and attention to my existing furry friends.

However, I understand your needs and enthusiasm, and I don't want to leave anyone out. Therefore, I’m implementing a waitlist system. If you're interested in my services, please reach out to be added to my waitlist, and I’ll notify you as soon as spots become available.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. My commitment remains unwavering towards the well-being and happiness of all my clients.

Warm regards,
Aurora Marchand
Owner, Island Tails Grooming Salon

As a woman running a small grooming salon, International Women's Day is a reminder of the incredible impact women entrepreneurs are making worldwide. From fashion to technology, women are breaking barriers and building businesses that not only contribute to the economy but also inspire and empower others.

Owning a small business has its challenges, but it's also incredibly rewarding. It's about more than just grooming pets; it's about creating a space that reflects my passion and values.

This International Women's Day, let's rally behind women-owned businesses. Whether it's by choosing to support them with our purchases, sharing their stories to amplify their voices, or simply cheering them on, we can all play a part in creating a more equitable and inclusive world for everyone. 💟
