Comb for scale. 🤣 Little bb Blitz stole my heart, I don’t think I’m getting it back.

✨MEET THE TEAM✨

Just kidding, I’m solo, but in all reality this guy has been the boss of me for 15 years now. Benjamin Buttonface.🥰 Or, Ben, Ben-jammin’, BEEEENjamin, meowmeow, or a slew of his other names.

This is where he can be found at the end of every day as soon as the dogs clear out, without fail.

He is well known for his judging looks when he knows I need to drink more water, or not be so hard on my body (I am currently catching up grooms because I had to pause on my large dog friends, oops… he just says, “told ya so”) – or, of course, when the bottom of his food bowl is showing.

Happy Birthday, partner in crime. I’ll be needing you for at least 15 more, k? 🎂

Swipe ➡️ on through if you wanna see the adorable stages of how Muffin went from a teddy bear cut to a grown up Schnauzer friend 🐾

I used to think I didn’t like to groom puppies, but that was from years of corporate grooming & requests not being allowed.

I very, very rarely got a chance to do their second groom & beyond, so I didn’t get to see what trust building could do for the grooming process.

My only regular requests allowed were the fear aggressive dogs as a salon manager, because… I could, & of course no one else was going to fight me for those clients. Which, gave me a plethora of dog handling experience, so I am grateful for it.

But… it’s real neat. When you know that a combo of the pet parent trusting the process & getting to be a puppy’s groomer home turns into the most lovely experience for everyone involved.

Now, puppies are my favorite. It’s like watching your little ones grow up 🥹

✨Important Notice✨ to my very loved clients:

Most all of you are so kind to tip me 10-20% either meeting or surpassing my upcoming pricing, so with this rate increase, please do not feel like I expect more.

For my established clients that book through my website, rates have already been adjusted but current rates will be honored until August arrives.

I would give a spiel about inflation, but… it’s all the same story that so many industries are experiencing.

I’ve been trying my best to inform each of you on your visits but I get excited to see your faces, so I wanted to get this out there for you all. 🫶🏻

Thank you so much for your support over this journey, I cannot believe a two year anniversary is around the corner and I hope to see you all for many years to come! ♥️🐾

Much love,

Elizabeth

It’s rainy & dreary today on this Sunday, cooling off the earth from all the extreme heat (what a blessing)… so I give you, Peach, part of a 4 dog trio who has the best pet parents (& possibly some of the best humans on the planet) 🥰

Honeycomb 🍯

Someone (it was me) tripped over my ring light (RIP ring light), 100% need a new one for photos, but someone (it was Honey) was just too darn cute today to not document.

Also, fun story, her mom cut a mat out of her ear and I absolutely questioned my grooming and blamed it on my previous job… we growing that back out meow 💁🏻‍♀️😆

Spring. Thank you for being here. 🌸

Clients. Thank you for being mine. 🤗

Industry Friends. Thank you for being you. 😘

I’ve realized over the last year that the social media race is not all it’s cracked up to be. All I’ve ever wanted is a circle of likeminded people; once I found that and became more comfortable in sharing, I realized how simple it is to become exposed to the very opinionated, sort of hateful crowd.

So, I just focus on these moments and smile at all the wins of this incredible circle of human beings and four-legged friends I’ve found.

And I am so grateful. ♥️

Perhaps I’m 20 minutes late, but that’s just who I am as a person & still wanted to take a moment to say I hope you had the best Valentine’s Day you’ve ever had. 🩷

If you didn’t, make today your day.

I don’t celebrate, but I do always purchase a fresh flower arrangement for my table. It makes a world of difference no matter how you feel about the holiday & I highly recommend 🥰

I big time love you all 🫶🏻

✋ There’s always another option when taking a social media pause, just simply taking it, but where my core values lay in contribution —

I wanted to publicly share it in case anyone needed an external affirmation that it’s okay if they need it, too.

Don’t get lost in the middle of what you should be doing to gain followers when your soul just needs a break. Don’t think it makes you less of a groomer if you don’t feel like snapping a photo or making a reel everyday. We all have different lives, responsibilities, & obligations.

That being said, I never thought I’d break 3k in followers, let alone 1k & that is not a number to me. That is an overwhelming level of support in my eyes. Thank you to every single one of you. ♥️

I’m also publicly sharing because the network of support that I’ve been so blessed with needn’t worry about me… I am grateful for the need to step away because the dream I embarked on became bigger than I imagined.

But, oh boy, I’ll be back soon. 🥰

I just gotta take care of a lot of stuff that all these amazing groomers & human beings in general will distract my ADHD brain from the mountain of things I’m gonna get done 💪🏻

Much much much much LOVE. Thanks for being on this journey with me. ♥️

🚩 PET PARENTS PLEASE WATCH & READ: I would like to add to this by stating who owns the pet food companies that take the pet industry by storm and cause so many animals to experience illness that they never should…

…with the hope that by reviewing this you may have your eyes opened to the profits HUGE corporations are making off of you while keeping your dog or cat needing veterinary care… & ultimately shaving years off of your pet’s quality of life.

• Hill’s Science Diet – Colgate Palmolive
• Purina Pro Plan – Nestlè Purina
• Royal Canin, Nutro, IAMS, Eukanuba – Mars Inc. (the candy company)

Brands that were premium dog food leaders a decade ago when they were independently owned, but now get recalled:

• Blue Buffalo – now owned by General Mills
• Merrick – now owned by Nestlè Purina
• Orijen & Acana – now owned by Mars Inc.

There’s more, but that says enough. Look up “The Dark History of Nestlè” – they started their company completely fine with selling baby formula that made infants ill. Instead of owning it & correcting it, they just kept covering the issue and lying for profits.

I see it too much. It makes me ill some days. So many dogs in my care have so many things wrong with them and I can always guess what food they’re on.

What hurts more is that veterinarians are fed misleading information and discredit pet professionals like Kaizen Canine & myself. And yes, I have taken an extensive pet nutrition course.

Hill’s & Purina funds many vet school nutrition courses. They fund the “research” that corn meal and other questionable ingredients are “great choices” for your pet. They fund the studies that grain-free foods cause heart conditions.

They are just as bad as Big Pharma. There is not a week that goes by that I don’t feel a tear drop down my cheek when a pet I adore is in my care & I know what’s truly wrong with them… but I can’t control the food they eat.

I cannot blame the pet guardians for thinking they’re doing what’s best.

Though, it’s time for all of us to open our eyes. We shouldn’t be filling the pockets of greed for corporations that really don’t give a care in the world what happens to your pets.

Please note; fresh is best, but there are plenty of kibbles out there that won’t do what these foods do to dogs and cats. If a price tag seems too steep, keep in mind – quality food serving sizes are less, and you will save thousands on vet bills.

Huge thanks to Taijon of Kaizen Canine for continuing to educate on one of my most passionate issues. ♥️

It was Christmas Eve and all through the land,

The groomers had kept grooming & could no longer stand,

But we did it, we did, and if we're lucky as well...

We groomed our own dogs, too, and they're all looking swell 🎁♥️🐶

Merry Christmas & Happiest of Holidays to all the industry friends, pet parents, and the pets that give us such a fulfilling career - may you all be surrounded with such love & blessings as you all deserve ♥️🎄♥️

Doglyness transformations have been one of my favorite things to see in the last year of my grooming journey. 🫧🛁

Swipe to the third slide to see how we started from the bottom now we here 👏🏻👏🏻

Year one in business kept me from big dreams of being Doglyness exclusive. I was so bummed, but I do have a tendency to try to go too big too quick.

The things I learned & saw, the way I got to experience the different kind of company they are; full of heart & knowledge and nothing less – irreplaceable. 🫶🏻

I will always stand by it being one of the best product lines out there; animal or human. 🌎

I still keep it on hand for special coat renewals like Lady, spa upgrades… my Ella, & myself… & my daughter. 😆

For anyone wondering why I spoke about it all the time & stopped – I simply had to make a financial decision. It was HARD. I literally cried about it. Just a single mom thing, but I don’t doubt I’ll be back to it 💪🏻

I was never endorsed by them but was accused plenty… nah, they’re just amazing & lift up others when they see a chance to do so. 💙

I’m just one of those people that wants to help people & won’t shut up to a point of annoyance when I find something amazing, thass meee 🤣
