Wags To Riches

Wags To Riches At Wags to Riches we love to pamper your fur babies and send them home looking and smelling great! 1. Dogs MUST have current rabies in order to be groomed.
(110)

No exceptions. It is required by law. We cannot use the tag, and if you forget the paperwork and your vet is not open, we cannot take your dog. They cannot even stay in a kennel while you go get it, you will have to take them with you.
2. Unless we can demat them safely and WITHOUT HURTING YOUR DOG, a matted dog will be shaved and an additional fee assessed.
3. Ear cleaning is included. Ear plucki

ng is by request only, at no additional charge. If you don't ask at check in, it won't be done.
4. A**l gland expressing is no additional charge, but is external only. We cannot guarantee that they will be completely emptied, and we will not force it on any dog we cannot get done without risking injury.
5. Pets with fleas will be given a flea bath, sent home with a capstar, and charged $5 extra. You also have the option to purchase Capstars for $5, a monthly topical treatment for $10, or a Seresto collar that lasts 8 months, for $60.
6. We have 4 experienced groomers who all take pride in their work. If your preferred groomer is not available on the day you want, or if you just want to try a different person, we would be happy to set that up for you.
7. We can set your appointment up as far ahead as you want, and we encourage you to make an appointment in advance. We are not always available to fit hair cuts in on the same day you call.
8. We take all dogs in for their appointments in the morning. We will give you an estimated out time, then we will call you just as quickly as we can get them done.
9. There is a small fee assessed for using credit and debit cards. To avoid this fee, you may pay cash or check.
10. Pictures in our scene are complimentary. They may be downloaded or shared from our page. If your pet will not hold still, damages the scene, pees on everything, or risks injury to themselves or us, they will not get a picture. We do our best to get a decent picture for you, but not all dogs cooperate.
11. We close at 4:00pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, and at 6:00pm on Thursdays and Fridays. We will be enforcing the $10 late fee if you do not show up by close to pick up. If you are more than an hour late, we will take them home and assess a $25 boarding fee in addition to the price of your groom.
12. We schedule by appointment and usually have people on a waiting list if someone cancels. Please be on time or call us if you will not be able to come in at that time, in case we fill your spot and need to reschedule you.
13. If you write a check and it is returned, you are responsible for the amount of the check plus the fees our bank assesses.
14. Mask wearing is optional for both employees and guests. If you are elderly, disabled, or at a high risk for COVID, please ask, and we will be happy to come out to your car.

Thank you all for your patience today! We had a truly awful day with the phones and internet going out for so long. We finally got it fixed and should be ok tomorrow to be back to normal. We know some of you were inconvenienced having to wait or bring alternate forms of payment, but we were doing the best we could under less than ideal circumstances.

Kindness matters, and we appreciate that you had some for us today. Have a blessed night, and see you soon!

07/12/2024

We are so sorry for thr inconvenience, but our phones and credit card machine are down! We have a call in now to get it fixed. We appreciate your patience, but for now we are only able to accept cash and checks. We will take this down when the machine is back up and running!

Good morning! We just wanted to address an issue we're having here and you're probably having at home.

Every day lately we are getting quite a few dogs in the shop with diarrhea. We take the dogs out when they get here, and many have it then, but some don't have it until later in the kennel. We are cleaning up a lot of diarrhea.

Many people don't know that dehydration causes diarrhea, and in this ridiculous heat we're having, the dogs dehydrate quickly. We give them water, but it's important that they're drinking extra water at home right now too. Adding snacks like fruits or floating the food can help add some extra moisture to their diets.

If you know your dog has been having diarrhea and doesn't feel well, please let us know BEFORE the appointment, not after we call you. We can either reschedule the appt or at least be aware to walk them more often.

We understand that this happens. It's nothing anyone has done. We blame Mother Nature! Thank you for helping us help you!

A reminder! Just because we are booking ahead for haircuts doesn't mean we can't get you in sooner for a bath and brush on any breed. We also call from the waiting list daily, so please ask to be put on it for an earlier appointment if available! You can also schedule your next appt when you pick up so you never have to wait! 706 321 5950

Dry skin? Dull coat? Rough feet? Bad breath? Let us help! Whether you want to pamper your pet with all the upgrades or just need something specific, we can help! Just ask! Call for an appt! 706 321 5950

Good morning everyone! Many of you know Fleshia, who has been a bather/assisstant/receptionist with us for a while now. Well, we've also been working on teaching her to groom here and there as we have time. We would like her fully trained before the holidays, and we need your help!

If anyone has a dog they are willing to let her use for practice, please tell us when you make an appointment. We will have to be selective on what she can do because she's still learning, and we can't take many because a senior groomer will be paired with her at all times (and we all have a lot of dogs to do too!) Putting your dog on that list not only helps her learn, but also opens up some spaces to fit your dog in earlier than we might otherwise have been able to groom them at this busy time of year.

As always, thank you all for your loyalty and support. We hope to hear from you soon! Thank you!

Good afternoon! I try not to overwhelm everyone with posts, but we made a few changes today and I wanted to show them to you. The last one is the biggest, so please read all the way through! ❤️

1. You may notice some new signs up around the shop with the "House Rules." These are the most important points from the client agreement we keep on file for everyone. They are nothing new, just written out where they're easier to see. Please feel free to ask questions about anything you hadn't known already.

2. It's summertime, and everyone wants to get those pups in for a cooling haircut. We are moving as fast as we can to fit everyone in! Please call ahead to book your appointments, or call after 10 to see if we have any same day appointments available. We can book your appointments as far ahead as you want! If you want to set them up for the rest of the year so you never have to wait, just bring us the dates! Anything we can do to make it smoother for you to keep up with your pet's coat, we will try to do. We don't want them getting matted if you forget to call ahead to schedule an appointment and have to wait longer than you like.

3. We have tons of unclaimed collars and leashes on the fence in the lobby. We will start throwing them away on the 1st of every month from now on. We do not keep them, so if you forget them or leave them for someone and they forget, we are not responsible! Please pick them up!

4. We love your pets. We miss them when they're gone. I have set up a small shelf with a Rainbow Bridge Memorial on it in the lobby to commemorate those we've loved and lost. There are rainbow sharpies beside it. Please feel free to come write your pet's names (small please to leave room) on the sides, top, back, or bottom (just not the front please.) We want you to be able to see it in years to come and know they aren't forgotten.

Thank you for reading our messages!

Wags to Riches is looking for a full-time, experienced groomer who is available Tuesday through Saturday, to help us keep up with the demand! We are a very fast paced, detail-oriented salon that's been established for many years. We have many amazing, loyal clients and we're firm believers in quality over quantity, and humanity before vanity. Hand sc******ng is a must! We have bathers and receptionists to maximize your time grooming. I’m looking for someone who is friendly, hardworking, consistent, and wants to be a team player! You will be asked to do a working interview and must have your own equipment. Please message the page to set up an interview time, or email [email protected].

Thank you, and please feel free to share for us!

We've lost several beloved long time regulars lately, and we got the news today that we lost another favorite.
I'm so so sorry for your losses. We are thinking of you and grieving with you. Thank you for sharing your pet's with us for so many years. ❤️

You might have noticed us spraying around the front and sides of the building today. Don't be alarmed! We clean the common areas daily, but we also come up on the weekends and spray a heavy duty cleaner meant for kennels (dog safe, don't worry) on all the outside areas where dogs like to potty as well. Our family was a little busy this weekend and didn't make it up there, so we took care of that and a little w**d eating at the end of the business day today.
Your pet's safety is important to us, and we are committed to keeping all of these areas sanitized for their health and your peace of mind.
Have a great day and give us a call to schedule your dog or cats bath or haircut! We can't wait to see you!

We encourage you to walk your dogs before you leave your home so your babies don't have to burn their feet. We do walk them in our fenced in area to the side, usually twice a day, depending on how long they're there. We keep that area sanitized, and we only walk one dog at a time in case one has dog aggression. Let's keep those pups safe!

I want to take a moment to thank you all for your kindness and patience. We have been booking up a little farther ahead than usual due to being short staffed (vacations, sickness, graduations, etc) and almost everyone has been so patient and understanding.

When this happened after we returned from the COVID closure in 2020, people were MEAN. It was very disheartening. You all should give yourselves a pat on the back for being awesome, loyal human beings and not judging us for being busy.

We are so grateful! Have a blessed day, and don't forget to get on the waiting list for earlier appointments. We call a lot of folks in daily! ❤️😘

A casual glance at tomorrow's schedule looks like we have a lot of regulars with expired rabies, as well as some new folks who will need to being their paperwork. Don't forget we can't use the tags! You can create your own client portal and check whether you have current rabies in our system!

She has a real passion for cat grooming and would love to take care of your baby. Feel free to send Wags a message or give us a call tomorrow.

I just want to extend "Congratulations!" to all of you with children, grandchildren, and other family members graduating! So many of you have told us about your celebrations, and we're so happy for you. We have known some of you for so long that you're like family too, and we're proud of your successes!

That was some crazy thunder last night wasn't it?! It was ridiculous at my house in Fort Mitchell!

Don't worry, the rain is moving out soon and we're here to fluff those pups right back up and wash the mud off! Baths available today, and we will try to squeeze some more cuts in too. Call after 930 am to see if we have haircut spaces available! 706 321 5950.

See you soon! 😉
