Envys Dog House new addition. ❤️

For those of you who haven’t visited the kennel lately, we are building on! A new indoor play area for the guests, and some VIP kennels for larger dogs or dogs who need a quieter space to stay away from the kennel area. Once this addition is finished we will also be adding on to the outdoor play areas as well. So excited to share this new space with you and your pups when it is complete

Just received some new Bows and Bandanas from #amyspoochparlor and I am in love! Are custom Bandanas and bows something clients would be interested in purchasing with their grooms? 😍🐾

Life is always better with dogs to remind you how fun playing in the snow can be!❤️ Snow days are the best!

There’s a reason my dream business is called Envys Dog House. Envy is the perfect dog for me. Even though she moves slower, and can’t always hear me when I call, I love her more everyday! ❤️ Anyone else have a dog that has stole their heart? Drop a photo and comment below.

Pheobe was so excited to visit the kennel yesterday she just couldn’t wait for her owner before she came rocketing to come see me. She is the sweetest pup! ❤️ ❤️❤️

(Sorry about the loud dryer noise in the background and this is taken pre-bath so he’s definitely not done his groom! ) Just wanted to share this awesome moment I had with pepper! 🙂 Pepper, previously, would react negatively when someone went to touch his paws. He was afraid. Since day one I have been working on trust with him. He totally trust me to always be gentle and respectful of him! And that makes me so so happy. ❤️ Way to go Pepper ☺️ This is such a common issue for new clients but with some time, respectful handling, patience and care. I always see a positive change!

I get a lots of questions about the schedule for the day. With Covid putting a damper on kennel tours I am trying to find creative ways to invite clients into the kennel and be as transparent as possible about day to day activities. And although it can absolutely change with the amount of dogs that I have booked into the kennel and my grooming appointments. This is the schedule I like to follow. I find when I get daycare dogs and boarders on a routine while they are here there is a lot less stress for the dogs and for me, because everyone knows what to expect. 🙂 The concept behind Envys Dog House is the same as when we opened. Envy’s Dog House is and always will be a lower occupancy kennel. So I that means more individual time spent with each dog. ( Think of it as a home daycare vs a larger centre care facility. Fewer kids! 😉) I treat the guests in my care the way I would want my dog Envy to be treated If I had to take her to a facility to be boarded. ❤️ As a general rule of thumb if there are more than 10 pups in my care( including daycare, boarding and grooming) I ask a team member to come in to help snuggle, walk, clean up and play with the puppies. When a new staff member comes in we do our kennel version of rounds. Which dogs get along with each other. If there are any concerns with the guests Feeding instructions or any special needs of guests. We also have communication boards to see what has been done and need to get done for the day. I am a registered veterinary technician and a certified groomer. Reina has her pet first aid coarse, and hours in apprenticeship in the shop for grooming, and Virgina has completed Pet care coarses through the International Boarding and Pet Services Association. The more education my team can have the better is my motto! 🙂

I originally made this short video for Izzy’s owner, but with her permission, I feel like this might be a great tip for anyone with a brachycephalic ( short nosed) dog, like a pug, sh*tzu, or bulldog. Because of their shortened skulls they often have deep skin folds, or facial wrinkles. These folds need regular cleaning to prevent skin fold dermatitis, yeast infections, or bacterial infections. ( I think in the video I used the very technical medical term “goobies” 😝) Do you do regular fold care at home, with your dog? Izzy has very deep folds, but every dog is different. I use a simple baby wipe and my go to Vetoquinol ear cleanser, that has denatured alcohol, lactic acid to gently cleanse and dry the fold. It also contains an aloe as a softening agent. Signs that your dog may have skin issues are, an unpleasant smell. On closer inspection you might notice discharge, redness, swelling. Affected dogs are generally sore and don’t like the area to be touched or bothered with. If you notice any of these signs it may time to consult with your veterinary provider. 👍🏻

A little about the owner

For all of you who I haven't met yet, my name is Nicole MacPherson. I am a mom to two beautiful girls and a wife of a hardworking cattle and grain farmer. I am a lover of animals and have been since I was a child. I knew growing up I wanted to work with animals. I wanted to learn everything I could so I went to post-secondary school twice I graduated from a vocational school in Saskatoon in 2005. After that I went attended Siast Kelsey Campus and graduated and a Veterinary Technologist in 2010. I worked in a 24 hour emergency care vet clinic post graduation, until I move to Wapella and worked in Moosomin at Valley Flats Veterinary Services for 8 years.

I love taking care of animals. I have fostered more than I can count for the Vet Clinic over the last 8 years. Thank goodness I have an understanding husband. He has come home to a surprise foster animal in our home many times. From bottle fed kittens to geriatric border collies, to noisy puggles, timid chihuahuas. I am a sucker for a pet in need.

I have three dogs, Envy, Siren and Scout, Three Farm cats Apollo, Sheriff Catty, and Sparkalo Tinkerbell. (all male cats, beautifully named by my daughter. I try not to laugh when I am calling them for breakfast each morning)

Envy is my certified St John’s Ambulance Therapy dog and we volunteer at the hospital for Pet therapy with seniors. A job she and I both love.
