The Seigler's Pet Grooming

04/02/2025

You all know some of my favorite work involves removing pelts. This one has to be one of my favorites and it could not have been for a sweeter dog. A nine year old, Old English sheepdog… I find a lot of satisfaction knowing how comfortable she is going to be this summer… not to mention, her mom gets to save 4 to 8 hours trying to do this herself… I think everybody wins…

Remember we don’t judge the shavedowns—especially when the dogs are recently rescued—AND a farm dog. This fella impressed me so much. As gentle, happy, and balanced of a dog that you could ever meet. So happy for his new life and fortunate that I got to be a little part of it…

The always stunning, vibrant, youthful Friday… I’m blessed to groom a couple of very beautiful poodles. As wonderful as the poodles are, their parents are equally as special…

One of my prettiest doodles. I’m sure I have made this same post with updated photos many times. The lovely Shelby from Westminster.

Looking at adding 3-4 appointments this week if anyone wouldn’t mind moving up or scheduling. Message that business number please and let Victoria know.

My view from Charlie the Bedlington terrier’s property. There’s nothing quite like grooming Charles with the door to the trailer open and getting to look at the Indian Peaks and, my favorite, Mount Audubon. Thats Meeker and Longs to the far right but they get enough love—Audubon is the real gem. No pics of Charlie today. He lives a very fun and wild life which sometimes involves tough grooms that are more focused on getting him cleaned and burr free… I will post a couple photos of previous Charlie grooms in the comments even though you’ve seen him several times. ❤️

Bode, my lab friend in Boulder. Yes, he holds onto to his alligator chewy for the duration of the groom.

A beautiful day today with 7 beautiful dogs. Yeah I’m aware that I’m starting to look a bit unkept. I’ll get a haircut eventually.

The always lovely Lucy and dramatic Duckie. As I think I’ve said before, the Tibetan terriers are a very underrated breed.  In addition to being beautiful, they are intelligent, very playful, a little vocal and rather spirited…. These two happen to take after their Momma who we have known now for a couple of years.

I’ve probably shared this website before but I was thinking about it today. Victoria and I have used this site to choose our dogs (and cats) food for several years. You can search for the brand and specific food and even flavor and then read about what’s in it—including recalls. It’s one of the reasons that I’m so against the big brands. I hope it benefits you and yours as it has our family. As always, we are in no way sponsored by these guys. As long as they keep providing seemingly unbiased, great info, we will support them and recommend them to those that we care about.

The Dog Food Advisor's unbiased dog food reviews and ratings searchable by brand or star rating. Find the best dry, canned or raw food for your dog.

***March Price Changes

As we head into March, we celebrate 2 years since we began to build this little grooming salon on wheels. Many of you have not only been with us since day one of the mobile product but day one of our grooming business in Colorado. We do not take that for granted. I’ve been working the last several years (and Victoria before me) to always earn your business and give you value in an industry where sadly quantity at the expense of quality is the goal. We’ve always sought to be different.

As we transition into March, Victoria is going to be reaching out to each of you to let you know if your price is increasing. Many of you know I’ve been flirting with price increases for a literal 12 months. As our business has taken shape, I have a better understanding of my costs and also the aspirations I have for the business—one being a more energy efficient setup. I will forever be committed to the one price approach. It’s become a big part of our little business as well as our way of differentiating ourselves from most others in the industry. I know we’ve dragged our feet with this for a while, but it has allowed me time to really lock in my process and select the products that are best for all involved.

Regarding these price increases—the biggest increases will be with doodles as I really want to focus more on quality. Existing clients know that I already move rather quickly; however, I want to be able to spend appropriate time with the dogs that need it.

Regarding the future—we definitely plan on a new mobile salon in the near future as well as more energy efficient (and quieter) ways to take care of you and your pet. I’ve certainly grown tired of the gas powered generator and truck and know there are better ways to do things that bring with them higher acquisition cost and reduced costs over time and are hopefully quieter.

Regarding specific increases—average increases seem to be in the $5 to $7 range. Higher increases were $10-$15 but they are few and far between and mostly the dogs that take me a bit more time. I’m always striving to make you all happy and make those dogs as comfortable and beautiful as possible. Thanks for allowing us to do this.

This is one of the prettier doodles in Superior—and our Superior pack has several pretty ones. This is Miss Mazie. There’s always been something about her eyes and face that I really like—or maybe it’s her voluptuous cheeks?

Let me be clear, I don’t want to be known as the Alaskan malamute guy, but I have been blessed to work with a few very beautiful and very well behaved Malamutes.  I should not say well behaved because no Alaskan Malamute is well behaved, but the good ones learn their boundaries. When this happens along with their vocal and vibrant personality, you have one of man’s very best friends!

It is officially 40°. I will never take these warmer temperatures for granted again. We are debuting in Berthoud, Johnstown, and Mead today. It is a lovely area.  Since moving here six years ago, we have found ourselves getting further and further away from the big city. No worries, Broomfield and the surrounding areas will always be the foundation of our little business.  I hope you enjoy the warm-up over the next 10 days. I know that I will.

***links to the products that we use on a regular basis and recommend.

Yes, these are affiliate links but we are obviously not sponsored AND I think in 3 years of being on our own, we’ve made about $2.68 from Amazon 😂

Teeth Gel
its included in your groom. It should never replace somewhat regular dentals by a veterinarian-if your dog is healthy enough to be sedated-but this is a nice product to freshen breath and handle plaque. They also make a foam and spray. Water additives are also a good option.
https://amzn.to/42SQx4I

CC Coral Brush
A must for any medium coat and beyond. Yes, this also includes doodles—even if the doodle breeder said you dont have to brush them. You do and this brush is step one. See our video on “Line Brushing” in the comments please—it will change your life and make longer coats for your doodle and/or continuous growth breed more attainable (i.e..easier on your dog and groomer).
https://amzn.to/4gKYjRw

Off brand CC Brush
Not as flashy but the same concept.
https://amzn.to/4142IZQ

Zoom Groom
The only thing you need for shedding short to medium coats. The furminator brush is a bit gimmicky for me and not recommended. It’s also expensive and is really only a #30 grooming blade disguised as a “brush”. This rubber brush is all you need. Keep in mind, the hair life cycle is 3 weeks so regular baths, blowouts, and brushing is how you will lessen shedding. You’ll probably never elimate it—dogs are hairy. I use this most on corgis, pits, boxers, frenchies, bostons, shibas, bulldogs… mostly shorthaired but does work on mediums like goldens, aussies, border collies…
https://amzn.to/40ZvLhg

Undercoat Rake
For medium to longer coated shedders. This does cut hair so be careful as you can cause bald spots—but it is necessary for goldens, bernese mountain dogs, huskies, shepherdrds, aussies, malamutes, border collies, collies… you get the picture…
https://amzn.to/4jSYxsq

Comb
Likely the most important tool you or I could ever have in the maintenance of our dogs. Proper combing identifies tangles, removes loose hair, especially those obnoxious tufts. This is step 2 for doodles and continuous growth coats. Make sure youre getting all the way to the skin. Focus on the inside of the legs, shoulders, chest. Use the end of the comb to pull individual mats if your pup allows.
https://amzn.to/4kbKMFA

Nail Clippers
This is what I use.
https://amzn.to/4hZA5DZ

Quik Stop
You could also use corn starch. We’ve got a video for doing nail trims at home that i will post in the comments that features my beautiful bride. You can do it i promise. But if you mess up, this stops the bleeding quickly and I promise, your pup will forgive you. Unless you have a french bulldog. He or she will never forget and likely hate you forever.
https://amzn.to/3QFEHUp

Ear Cleaner
Witch hazel. Dont over do it. Use cotton ball or round. Ask your vet about plucking hair if needed even though a lot of doctors like to kick that decision back to the groomer who also doesnt want to do it because it stresses the dog out and certainly could introduce infection. However, impacted ear canals with little to no airflow are a breeding ground for trouble. So in some cases, we are darned if we do and darned if we dont.
https://amzn.to/3Qr32wJ

The Stuff Detangler
For treating matted areas. A little too thick to be used for regular brushing. Use sparingly except on the tail. I’d load that tail up with this stuff.
