The Holiday Season is in full swing and we are busy busy gals. With that being said Tyler only has a few openings left before Christmas. Nicki and Makenzie are FULLY BOOKED UNTIL FEBRUARY at the moment. Please be paitent with our wait times as they can vary from 2-4 HOURS. Yes, we know that is not ideal, but we are trying to get our loyal customers all in before the holiday.

Please DO NOT show up without receiving a text message or call stating your dog(s) are ready to be picked up. This disrupts the dogs we are working on or may end your dog getting groomed due to the excitement of your dog seeing you. You WILL be asked to take your dog if you come in and your dog isn’t done.

We are now charging a 50% charge of scheduled service for any No Call/No Show or a cancellation within less than 24 hours of the scheduled appointment time. We also have a 15 minutes grace period until your appointment WILL be cancelled and you will be asked to reschedule, while also paying the 50% service fee.

We continue to be very diligent in our cleaning practices due to this nasty dog virus going around. We still ask that if your dog has been boarded or gone to doggy day care in the past two weeks that you rescheduled your appointment two weeks out from the point of picking your dog up from those facilities. This is to help stop the spread and ensure all the dogs health. If you plan on boarding your dogs over the holiday and have appointments following their stay, please please please wait to have them groomed, we are asking for honesty from everybody.

Thank you everyone so much for supporting us and hope you all have Happy Holidays!❤️

Nicki, Makenzie, Tyler, Ashlee, and Whitney

Hey all clients! We have posted this before, but if your dog(s) have been to a boarding kennel/doggie daycare within the past two weeks, and have an upcoming appointment, please call us ASAP to reschedule their appointment. We have not had any respiratory issues reported to us from dog’s that have been in the salon, and we do not want any! We are disinfecting even more than we already did before. Most dog’s are crated now, just to protect them. Let’s all help to control and end this mysterious dog virus. Thank you!!

Hello everyone! After much consideration and seeing as our pricing is so far under the market right now we are doing $10-$25 price increases as of Jan. 1 2024 depending on the size of dog and breed of course. We have been putting this off and raising $5 a year if that but we are still so far behind from other groomers we just can’t do it anymore. This is our livelihood and we push ourselves to our physical limit daily. As of right now most shops in the area charge for doodles starting at $125 (a 25lb doodle at that)….we start way too far below that. We want to be paid for our quality of work and not feel used for our low prices. We appreciate your business and hope you all understand!

**BELOW IS A PICTURE OF A LARGE DOODLE THAT HAS BEEN COMING TO US SINCE 2018 and how little of a raise we have made.

Do Doodles Shed?

That’s the million dollar question that everyone wants to know, & the answer is YES.

When you breed a curly coat like a Poodle with a double coat like a Golden Retriever, the pup is born with a combination coat. They have both curly coat AND undercoat.

When you look under a microscope at doodle hair follicles, you can see that their hair does not grow in a synchronized pattern like a purebred dog. Since the hair follicles do not grow in sync with each other, this causes the coat to tangle more easily.

If a Doodle sheds, why are you not finding loose hair all over your house?

When the undercoat sheds, it clings to the curly coat which works like Velcro and holds all that hair in. It’s very important to brush and comb your doodle regularly not only to prevent matting, but also so that you can brush out the loose undercoat that is trapped in the curly coat. This trapped undercoat is one of the number one reasons that I see Doods matted.
