I can't believe it's that time of the year already! Over the next few weeks I'll be going over booking preferences with everyone so that I can start working on the schedule for next year! Now is the time to make any changes as once the schedule is set for next year it'll be hard to make big changes then. Clients who don't need to make changes for next year are more than welcome to send me a text letting me know, otherwise I'll be asking at your next appt or texting you if you were just recently in for an appt.

I don't usually post these types of things but I often get asked by clients with new puppies when they would spay/neuter them. I'm a firm believer in waiting as long as possible is best and new research agrees, despite what vets still recommend. Take into consideration that when your pet is healthier and goes to the vet less they make less off you so it's in their best interest to recommend outdated practices that could lead to more health issues in your pets. It's not just orthopedic issues that increase when you spay or neuter young, before maturity, there's also increased risks of cancers like osteosarcoma, which has a poor prognosis after diagnosis. Obesity, urinary incontinence and behavioral issues are all risks of spaying and neutering early. Do your research and make informed decisions for your pets health.

In conclusion, this study shows that the risk of cranial cruciate ligament disease in dogs is linked to how long they are exposed to natural s*x hormones, and the relationship isn’t simple or linear. The highest risk was seen when females were spayed before about 1054 days (just under 3 years) and males before about 805 days (a little over 2 years). These results may help define what counts as “early” spay or neuter when it comes to cranial cruciate ligament disease risk.

Veterinary reproduction specialists now recommend hormone-preserving sterilization: preventing unwanted litters & less risk of torn cruciates.

I can't even believe I have to post this but here we are. After a very unpleasant and downright disrespectful interaction with a potential new client yesterday I guess I need to make a few things clear.

1 - First and foremost this is a safe space, for animals and humans alike. I have a zero tolerance policy for rude, disrespectful and belligerent behavior here. Anyone who violates that will immediately be removed from my schedule and banned from the shop. This includes behavior between clients, in my shop or in the parking lot.
2 - This is my shop. I have set the prices and the policies accordingly. If you are unhappy with any of my prices or policies you are more than welcome to find a groomer better suited for you. You are not welcome to belittle and insult me because you don't like my prices or shop policies.
3 - Because this is my shop and I run and operate it alone I'm allowed to choose which new dogs I can and can't take on, for any reason, at any time. If I tell you that I cannot take on your dog for whatever reason you don't get to insult and name call, that's a really good way to get blacklisted.
4 - When you clearly disregard the parameters I make very clear for the new dogs I can accept and then become rude and disrespectful when I politely turn down taking you on as a new client that's a good way to get blocked.

This job is incredibly physically demanding and unfortunately after years of not listening to my body I'm forced to limit new dogs based on size, breed and temperament, so I can continue to provide services to the dogs that I physically can still do. I would love to take on every cute dog that sends in a new client application but the reality is that I simply cannot. I don't discriminate and I don't turn away dogs because I'm lazy, I turn away dogs that could potentially put me out of work, or worse yet, end my career. This job is also incredibly mentally demanding. I deal with dogs with behavioral issues, health issues, clients who don't understand when I tell them I can't groom their pets anymore. This year alone I've lost a dozen of my older dogs, some that have been with me their whole lives; I grieve right along side most of you when it's time to say goodbye. So when a potential new client resorts to name calling, belittling and being just straight up ugly to me because I'm not able to accommodate their dog it really takes a toll. A vast majority of days there are no issues but every now and then one person can cut a little deeper so please, be kind and understand that I do what I do so I can keep grooming dogs.
