At least once a week I have someone knock on my door or pull on the handle while I have a dog inside.

As much as groomers love the opportunity to chat with you about your pet, please be respectful of the safety of the animal inside the truck/trailer. Almost every groomer in town has a phone number or business name listed on their vehicle

Today, while using sharp scissors around the face of a dog, I had someone bang on my door. Luckily both the dog and myself were unharmed

Just a friendly reminder for the safety of the dogs in the community 🐶❤️

Wishing everyone the best ending to 2022 and a great start to the new new year!

Thank you ALL for making this dream of mine possible. I remember making my New Year’s resolution a few years back to become a mobile groomer and it’s been an amazing journey.

Big shout out to my amazing clients and the dogs I get to call my family for staying this year. It’s been a wild ride for sure, and I appreciate all the compassion and support you’ve shown me

Be safe tonight! See ya next year 😉

❤️❤️

Be aware of this plant

This little flower w**d has thorns that can become embedded in your dogs skin. If you see this plant, avoid walking your dog near that area.

If you notice these needles on your dog, thoroughly check the belly, lower legs and butt for embedded thorns.

I’m not sure if this plant has a season but I’m finding infected areas on dogs lately and it’s from these tiny thorns

Seeing so many of my clients lose their belongings from Ian is heartbreaking 💔

I highly recommend SOS Storage Overhead Systems to give you some peace of mind in the event of another disaster

I’ll be back up and running tomorrow!

I’m working thru my list of currently scheduled clients, the missed appointments and the overflow dogs from other salons who are unable to take clients due to storm damage.

Obviously the roads are slow so be patient with me. I plan on working as much as possible for anyone who needs me.

I borrowed my work phone to a friend who lost her phone during the surge so I apologize if I haven’t responded this weekend.

One day at a time ❤️🐶

I’m ok. Trailer is ok. I won’t be able to work until I get fuel and cell service consistently, until it’s safe to drive. ❤️

Tis’ the season for a gentle reminder

Brushing out severe matting or pelted coats is inhumane. We live in a rainy paradise with busy lives. If you have any questions on tool recommendations, techniques or advice: I am here for you, even if you choose not to use my services. Education and advice is something I freely give for the sake of your pups ❤️

Dogs do not come with instructions. If they did, they would include a metal greyhound comb, a slicker brush and an introduction to grooming no older than 4 months old

Thinking about getting a Doodle, Cockapoo or any Poodle mix? Have you been told they "don't need grooming until 1yrs old" or "coat maintenance is easy"?

*PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING piece written by a groomer..in the pic that's known as a pelted coat /Pelting. A dog’s fur gets so matted & tangled it will come off in one piece. It's outs tension on the skin, can damage the skin causing horrible infections and sometimes renders the dog helpless,unable to move and it can then cause fatality
-------->

Poodle crosses (cockapoos, doodles, maltipoos etc.) are not "easy breeds" to maintain. The photo attached (shared from another groomer) shows how matting forms at the skin. By looking at this dog's top coat, you may not see the knots and you may not feel them as you would a knot on the ends of the fur but under that fluffy top layer this is going on. Once it starts its very difficult/ impossible to brush out... and even if you could it would be cruel to put the dog through it. Maintenance at home has to be more than a quick once over for these dogs if you want to keep them in that fluffy coat which was probably one of the reasons you chose a poodle cross in the first place. You really need to sit down with a brush and then a metal comb and make sure you can get it through the entire body at least 2 to 3 times a week.

I often feel like owners don't believe groomers when they say their dog has to be clipped very short. I always hear "I know he/she is matted, but leave as much as you can". You cannot clip through matting, you can only clip under it. As this photo shows, clipping under the matting means taking the coat back to the skin.
I promise you, your groomer really doesn't want to do this but they won't hurt your dog by putting it through dematting, they also don't want to hurt their reputation when the clients go around complaining about how the last groomer "scalped" their dog but there really is not any alternative. Instead of being angry with your groomer if they clip your dog very short please respect their commitment to do what is in your dog's best interest, accept responsibility for not having brushed your dog properly at home, and work with your groomer because, together, you can prevent this happening again. All groomers will be very happy to demonstrate a technique called line brushing which will help make your grooming at home more effective. Just ask! We all want owners to know how to do this

Poodle crosses are easily one of the highest maintenance dogs in reference to their coats. The combination of the soft coat they are mixing poodles with these days is a coat that is extremely prone to matting.

If you like a fluffy pup, you probably need to consider no more than 3-5 week intervals between grooming and set aside time for regular brushing AND combing at home.

Please know, if you bathe your poodle cross you really need to blow dry and brush out right after. Moisture, be it a bath, rain, swimming, snow etc are all going to make matting worse. If you know your dog is already matted-- bathing is only going to make it worse! Brush out before the bath.

Lastly "breeders" who say these dogs can't or shouldnt be clipped and not to give them a hair cut until they are one year old are misleading potential owners in order to sell$$$$ puppies and setting them up for a sad day when they finally take their pup to the groomer!!!

If this hasn't put you off buying one please schedule your puppy's first groom immediately after they've had their vaccinations and then be prepared to do the maintenance at home between regular professional grooms.

These two have come a long ways! When they were 3m young another groomer traumatized them with a full shave down to the skin. I’ve been working with them and the owners have been diligently working with them as well. It’s taken them almost 8 months to fully trust the grooming process again and today they were PERFECT!! I am so proud of them and their owners ❤️
