Our enhanced safety and sanitation protocols are still in place through the end of January, at which time we will re-assess. We are monitoring the data and news closely.

As a respiratory illness continues to sicken canines around the U.S. this year, researchers are scrambling to make sense of what’s causing it and how to slow the outbreak.

We have drafted a sanitation and safety protocol like the one we did for Covid, only to address the concerns around the Dog Flu that is an emerging issue. A lot of things we were already doing, and some things are new. Here's what I have. (Subject to change as we find ways to improve it.)
SCHEDULING:
Clients are asked on the reminder call, as well at check-in, a list of questions regarding their pet’s health.
Questions:
-Has your dog been boarded or at a doggy daycare in the last two weeks?
-Have you observed any wellness issues, such as coughing, sneezing, runny nose, goopy eyes, gagging, or diarrhea?

If they answer “yes” to any of these, the day’s appointment will be cancelled, and rescheduled if appropriate.

Toothbrushing service is not available at this time.

FRONT RECEPTION AREA:
Entry door is wiped with sanitizer inside and out repeatedly throughout the day.
Air purifier is running at all times, with additional fans running throughout the spa. Purifier filter and fans are cleared of hair buildup and sprayed with wintergreen alcohol daily.
Phones and keyboard, desk and mouse are sprayed and wiped with sanitizer throughout the day.
Hands must be washed before grabbing treats from the containers. One “grab” per client to prevent cross-contamination.
Employee-owned pets are staying at home right now unless they have an appointment and are kenneled while here.
No more than one client pet/family is allowed in the reception area at a time to check in or out. STOP sign is posted on the door to alert new arrivals to wait until the person inside leaves.
Client leashes and collars are not to be kept on the premises.
Floor is vacuumed and steam-mopped daily.

KENNELING:
Each kennel is cleaned between each dog with “256” disinfectant and a towel, wiping down sides and back and floor and ceiling, as well as the door inside and out.
The disinfectant sits 10 minutes between dogs. A clean blanket or towel is placed in the bottom of the kennel after being cleaned.
Kennel doors are draped with microfiber towel that is tagged and folded to stay with that dog throughout its stay, to reduce exchanges of breath v***r droplets.

BATHING AND GROOMING AREAS:
The faucets, tubs and tables are sprayed with sanitizer and wiped down after each dog.
Tools, loops, nozzles, and sprayers are sprayed with wintergreen alcohol after use on each dog. Muzzles, if used, are laundered and air-dried.
When dogs are transferred between areas, they are carried or leashed to prevent contact with other animals.
A towel is placed under each dog while being blow-dried.
Floors are vacuumed and steam-mopped daily.
Between client dogs, employees will wash hands with soapy water, and wipe arms and neck with disinfectant wipes. Clothing will be brushed or tape-rollered off and sprayed with disinfectant.

Due to the increasing threat of the Viral Canine Respiratory Illness in the news, we are tightening and expanding our sanitation protocols for daily practices and in between dogs. Your pets' safety is very important to us. We are monitoring the emerging science and recommendations closely. For the time being, we will be requiring dogs that have been boarded to wait two weeks before coming in for grooming.

We are closed today, October 19, to remember the life of Kari-Kay Miranda. She passed away unexpectedly on October 19, 2016. Hug your loved ones, two-legged and four-legged, and appreciate the blessings in your life.

Important information for dogs that play in and around water!

Listen to Susan Paulsen's story, and you'll never look the same way again at your dog diving into your swimming pool or a glistening lake, or biting playfully at jets of water from your lawn sprinklers or garden hose.ü

We honestly are not the fastest groomers. Or the cheapest. We treat every dog as an individual. try to be mindful that they are as comfortable and safe as possible, and seek to maximize their "treat potential" cuteness. Your dog matters to us.

I still remember KK every day. Enjoy the special moments that happen every day. Treasure your loved ones, two legged and four. See the beauty. Have hope for tomorrow.
