I did not write this article but feel it’s an important read. Hickory Flat alone has grown triple in a matter of 3 years and it isn’t stopping! If you are fortunate to find a groomer you like, then stay with them. Even if hard times occur on both sides. Stick together. It’s supply and demand for sure! 🐾

Announcement for dog owners (or potential owners)! Almost everyday I see someone asking for grooming availability. Why is that? Because 99% of the groomers in the area booked! I am one of those groomers, along with the three other groomers I work with. We are all booked the whole year through. I haven’t taken a new client in over a year. Since COVID, the dog to groomer ratio has drastically unbalanced. Lots of people got puppies! I tell you this for the simple reason to give you all a heads up. The holidays are coming up. If you are planning on getting a new dog, that’s great! Just make sure your current groomer has the availability. Don’t have a current groomer? Find one before you get the puppy. Research grooming routines and price as well. Puppies need to be introduced to grooming young. They will be groomed every 4-6 weeks their whole life, so we want to make it as positive as possible. Thank you!
PS - To my personal clients on this page that have recently gotten new pups, you are totally fine! This is just a general announcement for the community. 😜
