Hello everyone! I am booking out further than I normally do and have no availability left for June, and booking into the 2nd week of July. If you want to secure an appointment for your dog the sooner the better to get a hold of me. 🙂 call or text 814-795-4485

Hello all, I am announcing that April will be a very busy month. My dogs and I are ending the race season in Michigan the last 3 weekends of April so I will have fewer days of the month open for grooming to allow for travel and racing. If you would like to schedule your dog for April or into May, please message me here on Facebook or call/text 814-795-4485 to schedule an appointment. Have a Happy Easter!

After a lot of thought, it is time to raise my prices on my grooming services. I have been holding off, but with costs increasing with everything I must now keep up. Depending on breed, and complexity/time of your dogs groom, it will be a $5-$10 increase. The price increase will be effective February. Thank you all for trusting me with your fur babies. I hope everyone had good holidays!

To anyone who would like to schedule an appointment for November, please reach out! It's a last minute decision, but I will be traveling with my friend to the World Sled Dog Championships in Ólvega, Spain, from November 18th-27th. I am booking out a couple weeks because I still am competing with my own sled dogs over the weekends in November. Thank you!

Hello all, I'm back to work! After taking time off to recover and after doing some dogs I feel confident in advertising that I am back to grooming. But come the 2nd weekend of October my sled dog season will begin and I will be gone every weekend competing with the dogs until December. There was confusion last year that I was not grooming at all, but rest assured that yes, I am grooming all of fall and winter! My time will be more limited, so I will likely be booked out further. Unless a race is canceled, I cannot do weekends for that time being. Weekdays I will definitely be grooming either the morning or evening and I will groom late in the evening for those of you who can only do evenings. If you also want to be on the safe side and book ahead of time now I can do that. Message me here, or call/text 814-795-4485 to schedule an appointment. Thank you all!

Hello everyone! I have an announcement to make for the month of July. I am going to have surgery the beginning of the month and will have to spend approximately a month to recover from surgery. I do hope that I am cleared to groom dogs within a month but time will tell and I'm gonna listen to the doctor! I will contact my regular clients (clients that schedule approximately 10 weeks out) and talk about your dogs and scheduling before or after my surgery. If you see this post and have not heard from me yet, or want to get your dog in quickly please let me know ASAP! I plan on booking as many dogs as I possibly can to ensure they are set for the next month. For the time being I won't be taking new clients for this month, unless you are already scheduled. I will continue taking new clients after I'm recovered so people and their dogs who have been with me are taken care of. It will probably take me a few days to reach out to everyone or if you think Ive missed you, message me here, or call/text 814-795-4485. Thank you all!

Hello! I now have my schedule for September, but my bigger announcement is I will be traveling the country in October through December racing with my sled dogs, so weekend availability will be nonexistent unless a race is canceled. I do want to say if you're worried that I can't squeeze you in in October, I reccomend contacting me and scheduling for September now! I do not have my October schedule for my other job but I have my race schedule planned out. I will be certain to contact regular clients that come every 8 weeks or less for appointments in the months I am racing! Those of you who work and can only do weekends, I am happy to accommodate you by grooming in the evening as well. Thanks! Reach out by messaging me here, or call/text 814-795-4485.

I have my November schedule, for those of you who have certain date you want in please let me know ASAP! I unfortunately cannot do any weekends this month as my dogs and I are traveling the country to race! Thank you :)

09/29/2021

Hello, I just wanted to say this is the time of year the dogs and I get back into training and it looks like we will be able to race this year! That said things might be trickier with scheduling appointments, so if you want in this month let me know asap! As most of my regulars know I work another job and schedule around that each month when I get the schedule. I know it's tedious... but I think I've contacted my regulars for their appointments and if you need in this month don't wait, please get a hold of me! Thank you.
