🍁FALL SCENTS ARE IN🍁

Prepare for your pups to go from smelling like summer strawberries and kiwis, to heavier scents of plum, cinnamon, leather, sandalwood, and absinthe.

Facials scrubs have been upgraded to jolly rancher scent with jojoba oil, and a plum scent with charcoal infused throughout. Both will help with the stubborn stains and eye boogers that accumulate on your pup’s face!

Please send me a message if you are interested in purchasing the same products I use on your dog to keep them fresh in between groomings and I’ll be happy to send you a link.

One of my favorite clients just took in this sweet boy as a “foster.” I know her well enough that he probably has his forever home with her but was happy to get him cleaned up after months of not being groomed! Welcome home, most likely 😏, Homeboy. ❤️🐾

Cooper is my last dog until September 23rd! I’ll be taking the next week off but staying super busy so replies to calls/texts/messages may be delayed. Thank you all for making this such a successful year so far!❤️🐾

Teddy’s mom sent me the cutest picture of her boy after his groom! Definitely way better than mine after he was SO over it by the time we were done. 😂 Teddy is one of my favorite grooms as he has a nice coat that’s fun to shape and scissor. Unfortunately for him, he gets so bored. lol. ❤️🐾

The whole truth about the dog grooming industry.

Do not be afraid to ask your dog groomer about their experience. Especially if you are welcoming them inside your home! I am so grateful to my clients for trusting me with their dogs and trusting my experience and advice.

Did you know that pet grooming is a completely unregulated industry? There is no requirement for formal education, no required continuing education, and no required testing or certification?

Anyone and everyone can just pick up a pair of clippers and start advertising themselves as a groomer and charge people for a service they aren’t trained to perform.

It’s completely up to you, the owner, to do your research and make sure the person you are trusting with the health and safety of your pet is qualified to care for them.

Every groomer should be trained, and that very basic training takes months.

It takes years to truly master the ins and outs of grooming and everything that goes along with it.

Pet grooming is so much more than just a hair style.

*It’s knowing dog behavior and how to safely handle all the different personalities and quirks.

*It’s recognizing health conditions that would be better suited seeing a vet such as skin or ear infections.

*It’s being prepared for any and all emergencies that can happen, from seizures to allergic reactions, to nicks and cuts and quicked toenails without panicking.

*It’s knowing how to best deal with a variety of coat types properly.

*It’s being able to know when to stop a service on a particular dog due to behavior or health.

*It’s having the knowledge and patience to handle a different species while holding razor sharp clippers or 8 inch long scissors.

At the very least, the groomer you use should seek out continuing education to make sure they are current on the changes in the industry, from upgrades in products to tools that make the process easier for the pet and them.

They should be current on their pet cpr/first aid certification which needs repeated every couple of years.

They should be able to answer your grooming related questions with knowledge and confidence and if they don’t know the answer they should know where to find it.

They should have an emergency plan in place with a local veterinarian in case anything happens, because when working with animals it’s not a matter of if something happens, but when.

They should come recommended by other pet owners and pet professionals.

And it’s worth noting that there is nothing wrong with using a groomer that is still in training, but they should be working alongside an experienced groomer and under their direct supervision.

Ask the questions, after all you are paying them for a service. A groomer who has spent time and money to be as educated as possible is excited to share their knowledge!

Can anyone help out an elderly hound dog?

BISCUIT HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!

🚨 BISCUIT NEEDS YOUR HELP 🚨

Biscuit is a senior beagle who has been let down time and time again by humans...
We believe Biscuit was originally a hunting dog who just got too old to be of use anymore and was likely dumped- which led to him being brought in to our shelter by Animal Control.
Biscuit was then adopted and has now been returned, leaving him in a dire situation.
Senior dogs are often passed over due to their age, leaving them in a loud, scary environment to spend their final days.
We are pleading for someone to find it in their heart to give Biscuit the love he is so deserving of for whatever time he has left.
Biscuit's silver face is a testament to the years he's lived, trying his best to be a good boy for humans, only for them to continuously abandon him.

Biscuit's adoption fee is FREE to an approved applicant. He has been neutered, microchipped, is UTD on vaccines, and is HW negative.

This page will be a little less active the next few weeks (less adorable dog pics on your feed, sorry!) due to a large social media break. Rest assured that your pups are still receiving the same loving care, you just might not see their face on here like usual!❤️🐾
