Matted or Knot

Good Day! ☺️💞🐾
I am ALMOST booked for the holidays, with only a few appointments left before the big days. These next few weeks please be patient with me getting back to calls and messages as I’m going to super busy and probably jacked up on caffeine! 💁🏼‍♀️😌

I will try my best to accommodate all of you needing your pups squeaky clean as curds before the holidays, but please don’t wait last minute to book… I beggg of you! 😂

I want to take this opportunity and time to appreciate and thank all of you making this an absolutely amazing year for me and Matted or Knot.💚
What a wonderful blessing it has been since officially opening here in March, as well as years prior!!! I will forever and always be thankful to the purest of spirit this community has shown me… through humans, dogs, deep conversations, tears, laughs, mistakes, compassion, and genuine kindness. It really takes ALL OF US TOGETHER. I learned this year, it’s not always easy-but it is ALWAYS worth it. Whiskey left me in good hands.
I am truly blessed.🥹🫶🏼💞🐾😭

P.S- I will graciously accept TIPS in Cranberry Bliss Bars (Starbucks*seasonal guilty pleasure😅), honest FB reviews, and the gift of Love… (however you’d like to express that!).💗 I wish you all a blissful end 2024, and a healthy, happy, humble 2025!

Due to an unforeseen and tragic accident these fur babies are in search of a home, their previous owner is no longer with us and we are in desperate need to find a happy, healthy, stable forever home. They are up to date and come with paperwork.

The kitten is named Princess, the first chihuahua is Chico and he’s 12yrs old and believed to be deaf, the second chihuahua/dachshund mix is called Bobo and he’s partially blind and around 15yrs old. The dogs are bonded, and hoping to stay together. Both are very friendly. Unfortunately since it was such an unexpected death, not much more information is known. (Kennel trained, health conditions, diet etc.)

Please help me, help my good friend with this delicate situation. Please reach out to me with any questions, I am in direct contact with the family member.🫶🏼🩵🐾

Let’s talk about SKUNKS! 🦨

They may be cute critters, but having your animal get sprayed by one is far from it.
Recently I’ve had a few clients contact me regarding their dogs getting sprayed...

Here is some quick go-to information and hopefully answers some questions in this grooming emergency situation!

✏️FIRST: Make sure your pup is safe. Check your animal from head to toe for bite/scratch wounds. Skunks may look cuddly but they can pack a mean punch and I’m not talking about from the hind end.

✏️SECOND: I know the first instinct is to throw them in the tub and get them wet, however DON’T do this!!!
I repeat, don’t wet your pup! 🚿🚫
This is a critical key point. Soaking your dog opens their hair follicles and cuticles allowing the skunk oils to pe*****te deep and set in the skin and fur. This is bad news folks...

📌INSTEAD- immediately use towels to PAT off some of the skunk spray and follow this de-skunking concoction/potion. Time is of essence in these situations!

1 quart hydrogen peroxide (3%) NEW bottle since peroxide can go bad within a couple months of opening.

¼ cup baking soda

1-2 teaspoons of dawn ORIGINAL dish-washing liquid. (The blue one💙)

A quart of warm water

Mix throughly and apply this mixture to your animal focusing on most exposed sections. Make more if needed (larger or more hairy/furry dog). Let sit for at least 5-10 minutes while monitoring not allowing ingestion, aka don’t let them lick it off. Be cautious of eyes!

✏️THIRD: Rinse throughly and repeat if necessary with new batch of mixture. If wanted you can rewash once more in regular dog shampoo for scent. (Or call me for my soonest appointment ☺️)
Towel dry and attempt to blow dry if tolerated. Do not panic if your pup still has a lingering faint smell of skunk. This is completely normal, as it’s almost impossible to fully treat and decimate skunk oil/spray.

✏️FOURTH: Laugh and relax after it’s all over with. It happens. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣🤦🏼‍♀️
There is over the counter- non professional shampoos you can try. I’m a fan of “Nature’s Miracle” pet cleaning lines. Many other brands make de-skunking formulas, however homemade has always been the most effective from my personal experience.

If anyone has any questions or concerns about skunks don’t ever be afraid to ask!
Hope everyone is doing well and staying out of stinks way!
Have a great night🐾💞
-Christine

As much as I try to be a jack of all trades, I’m definitely not a good shower caulker…😅🤣💁🏼‍♀️

I need the shop shower re-caulked already and don’t trust myself to do it again!
Who do you recommend???

This isn’t a traditional post for me, I’m actually reaching out to my Wisconsinite clients to see if anyone knows anyone with season tickets for the Packers.
My sister lives in New York, and she’s a huge Green Bay fan, her dream is to see them play at Lambeau Field. She’s coming to visit me for the first time ever in September. I’m just putting out feelers to see if any of you guys are season-ticket holders or know anyone where I could get decent tickets!

P.S I’m open to bartering. 😆
