✨ Happy New Year! ✨

As we kick off 2025, I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you. Whether you’ve been with me for a few months or for 13 years, I wouldn’t be where I am today, and I couldn’t do what I love without you. Your trust and loyalty mean the world to me. It’s been an honor to care for your pups, and as The Dolly Dog Co. begins, I’m so excited to continue this journey with you all by my side.

🐾 As a reminder, I’m partnering with Urban Tails for grooming services on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. It may take a few weeks to confirm appointment dates and times as I’m working through upcoming appointments. If you think your pup’s appointment should be coming up soon and you haven’t heard from me, please feel free to reach out.

Please note that Urban Tails requires all pets to be up-to-date on all vaccinations, including Bordetella, at least 14 days before services can be provided.

🔗 Please make sure to set up your profile with Urban Tails! While booking will be available soon, setting up your profile now will ensure I can confirm your appointments more easily. Get started here:

💡 If your dog can wait an extra week or two for their appointment, please let me know. I’m doing everything I can to get The Dolly Dog Co. open as soon as possible so I can offer more availability for your pets. I promise to keep you all updated with timelines, and I truly appreciate your patience and understanding as I work toward this exciting new chapter. Your support means the world to me.

📣 Keep an eye out for a name change to my grooming page soon, as I transition to The Dolly Dog Co.! I’m so excited to share more details as I move forward with this next chapter.

Thank you for your unwavering encouragement, love, kindness, and continued trust. I’m so excited for what 2025 will bring and look forward to caring for all of my furry friends for many years to come. Here’s to a fantastic new year full of wagging tails and happy hearts!

Love,
Kara

🎸 Meet Parker, the ultimate rockstar of the grooming world! This dude is all about good vibes and good times, and we always have a blast when he’s here.

Sometimes, though, Parker gets a little too caught up in the fun, and I have to remind him: “Sir, we’ve got things to do, and you’ve got places to be—let’s focus, buddy!” His silly antics never fail to crack me up, but once we’re on track, Parker cleans up like the star he is. ✨

(Enjoy this silly picture for proof of his good-time energy!)

Thanks for always keeping things interesting, Parker! See you next time for another jam session. 🐾🎶

Meet Ace—this little rockstar came in for his usual trim, but his mom hit me with a request: “Can you give him a mohawk?” 🤘 My response? “HECK YES, I CAN!”

And wow, does he OWN this look or what?! 😎🔥 Ace is totally rocking his new mohawk like the true rock ‘n roll pup he is! 🎸🎤 I love when clients surprise me with fun cuts like this—it keeps things fresh and exciting!

What do you think? Isn’t Ace the coolest little legend around? Show this pup some love in the comments! 🖤🐾🤩

Back again with the one and only Sarge, Dozer’s big brother! 🐾 It’s always a pleasure to see this guy, who never fails to bring his signature charm to the grooming table. His personality is as big as his heart! 🧡 ✨

✨ Meet Teddy! ✨

Teddy came in for his first grooming session at 5 months old. He was given to a long time client of mine by another family member. His mom worked hard with him beforehand to prepare him as best she could with the little time she had. Although he’s known as Tornado Teddy, he was calm, curious, and brave!

🐾 Dad requested a mustache, but mom wasn’t so sure. I assured them I wouldn’t push him too far—especially for his first groom—and would only do what he was comfortable with. Teddy did so well that we were able to add the mustache, and mom ended up loving it more than she thought!

See you next time, Teddy! You were awesome! 💕🐶

✨ Big makeover day for Morgan & Harley! ✨🛁 These two definitely needed a little extra pampering, and now they’re looking SO fresh! 💅🐾 Morgan was not about the camera life—giving me those ‘no paparazzi’ vibes 📸😆—while Harley was an absolute sweetheart, posing like a pro 😇💖. Both left feeling soft, snazzy, and ready to strut their stuff! Can’t wait to see these two cuties back for more glam time! 🐶💕

Last week, I got to groom Dozer, our big, lovable American Bully. This gentle giant is the best boy—so sweet and full of personality. Seeing him strut out looking fresh and proud was priceless! Can’t wait for next time, Dozer! 🐾💙

Happy HOWL-O-WEEN!

Say hello to Percy 🐾, one of my absolute favorites! This dapper little gentleman comes in every month for his full scissor cut ✂️, and he’s a total pro at being pampered. At his age, he knows how to enjoy the royal treatment 👑 and loves soaking up all the extra love and attention 🥰. It’s always a joy having this charming senior in the salon—see you next month Percy!

🎃Here’s Blue, our early Halloween howl-star! We’re still a month away, but this little goblin couldn’t wait to get into the spooky spirit—even though he hates me for it. 😝 He stuck his tongue out to let me know exactly how much he enjoys our ‘boo-tiful’ spa days, but let’s be honest, he’s looking fang-tastic!☠️

🌟 Meet Phantom, our sweet Border Collie! He came in in pretty rough shape, and initially, we thought a shave was necessary. But when he arrived, I knew we could save his beautiful coat!

Phantom was incredibly patient while I worked to remove all the compacted undercoat. His coat had been shaved back in April at another salon, leading to some rough regrowth. Sadly, his owners weren’t properly educated on coat care during this time.

But don’t worry—Phantom is on the right path now, and I can’t wait to see him flourish! 🐾❤️

Y’all remember Re*****on right? The young, silly, and delightfully dumb doodle who never fails to make me laugh! This lovable goofball has a heart of gold and a playful spirit, even if he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. He’s still figuring things out(I’ll be saying that for years to come) but with his charm and sweet nature, I’m excited to watch him grow into those big, clumsy paws!🐾😝
