BE KIND. Disagreements happen but they can still be civil and respectful. Small businesses are doing their best in a very difficult time. We will be back with our usual selection of cute critters shortly! #bekind #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocalbusiness #canadamade #kwawesome #kwfamous #waterlooregion #kwdogs #dogsofkw

Peekaboo! Annie is such a beautiful Old English Sheepdog … but getting a good picture of her is tricky because as soon as she moves she is a hot messy mess! A big thank you to @opawz for the fabulous products we use on her to keep her natural coat looking spectacular 🐾❤️ #oldenglishsheepdog #sheepdogsofinstagram #naturalwoman #naturalcoat #opawz #dogsofinstagram #peekaboo

NO!! We know you want to…but you will NOT fit in our spa tubs! On this snowy winter day, you will just have to enjoy watching our compilation of pets relaxing and loving our warm spa bath. Watch to the end for the best part! #spatreatment #spaday #hottubs #tubbytime #dogsagainstbaths #january #winterblues #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #caturday #wetdog #wetcat #relax #relaxing #mindfulness #mindful #newyearsresolution #newyearsresolution2025

Sam, the Christmas Elf! {R RATED VERSION🤣 - listen to the end to see if you can figure out what we’re talking about!}. On a more serious note, Sam is a cancer survivor! A huge thank you to his healthcare team for restoring this precious boy to good health. We are looking forward to many more visits from Sam! 🐾❤️ #goldenretriever #elf #christmaself #christmas #christmasdog #cancersurvivor #cancersucks #kwdogs #dogsofkw #kwfamous #groomerhumour

Selena and Greyson entertained us last night at our 2nd annual company Christmas party! We were all very impressed with Selena’s performance… and the amount of concentration it took to keep playing as Greyson sang! #christmasparty #christmasdog #violin #kwdogs @weratedogs #dogsofkw #gsd #germanshepherd #germanshepherdpuppy #puppiesofinstagram #singingdog

Happy Wet Dog Wednesday! Featuring Gustav! #wetdogwednesday #rarebreeds

Happy Caturday! Soso is oh so cute! She came to see Icey for a spa day including a nail trim, shampoo, spa bubble bath, blow dry, brush out and a haircut. Obviously, it’s not true that all cats hate water! #caturday #caturdaycuties #caturdaynight #caturdaycuddles #catgrooming @chrischristensensystems @wheatleywares #catsofinstagram #cutecatvideos #cutecats #funnycatvideos #funnycat #waterloo #kwfamous #cats #dogsofkw #kwdogs #kwcats #dogownersofkw #catownersofkw

This is one of the hardest posts we’ve ever had to make. Our sweet friend Ace has crossed the rainbow bridge. Ace and his spicy sidekick Jack have been loyal clients for many years. We literally have hundreds of pictures of Ace - most of them are almost identical but each one is precious. Susan still remembers the very first time she groomed Ace. Not quite a puppy anymore but he was still a sweet ball of beautiful fluff. Ace never wanted to be carried - he always wanted to walk on his own 4 legs… but as soon as it was time for grooming (particularly the blow dryer), he didn’t want to use his legs at all! When we ventured off to create TLC Groomery, Ace’s mom was (is)one of our biggest supporters. Ace loved meeting all of the growing TLC team. Everyone knew and loved him. Icey’s daughter Selena collected Ace’s hair from one of his grooms and made a cute keepsake from it. We will never forget your haircut length (we still cringe thinking about the time it was cut too short 🤣🤦‍♀️). We will never forget you Ace. #rainbowbridge #petloss #neverenoughtime
