🍂 Fall is in the air. 🍂

Now is the time to start thinking about booking for the holidays. Pre-Thanksgiving appointments are extremely limited, and December is filling up fast.

Today is National Check the Chip Day! Be sure that your pet's microchip information is current and correct so that they can be reunited with you if they are ever lost or stolen.

Microchips greatly increase the chances that lost pets will be reunited with their families...but a microchip only works if its registration information is accurate.

We have some openings as soon as next week. Give us a call today at (218) 590-9997!

June is National Pet Preparedness Month!

By preparing now for a disaster, you can be ready to keep your pets safe.
🔸Always keep at least 3 days worth of your pet's food, medications, and water on hand.
🔸Keep important paperwork such as emergency contacts, vet records, and proof of ownership in a safe place. Include an up to date photo and your pet's microchip number.
🔸Keep your pet's microchip information up to date. Be sure that your phone numbers are correct.
🔸Buy or create a pet first aid kit.
🔸Have collars, leashes, and crates/kennels ready. ID tags should be affixed to collars.
🔸Keep these emergency items and information readily available. Designate a family member, friend, neighbor, etc that can take your pet(s) and their emergency kits should you be away from them when disaster strikes.
🔸Place signs or stickers at your front and back doors to inform the Fire Department and other First Responders that your pets are in the home.

Crate training is vitally important to keep pets safe and calm during an emergency. Dogs who are not accustomed to being crated or kenneled may find the experience incredibly stressful, may panic, and could potentially injure themselves. Crate training your dog now will help them should they NEED to be crated at some point.

We have officially entered Tick Season! We've been finding a few ticks on our furry friends here and there, and thought it would be a great time to remind everyone to make sure they have a flea & tick prevention plan.

Speaking with your vet about a preventative medication or collar is your best option.

Additionally, we would like to remind you that while we will pull a tick or two if we find them on your dog, we do not accept dogs with active infestations in the salon. Any dog found to have fleas or more than a couple of ticks will be refused service and asked to reschedule. We do not give flea baths, dips, drops, or any other flea/tick treatment in the salon.

Happy May Day!

With wet spring weather in full force, and summer coming quickly, we are Busy with a capital B.
Bath package appointments are welcome for shorthair dogs of all sizes, as well as nails only or Quick Clip (face, feet & f***y) appointments.

At this time we are unable to add new haircut clients to our schedule. Existing clients should be aware that we are currently booking into early July. We encourage you to prebook your next appointment (or 2 or 3!) when you pick up your pup.

We love some fluffy puppies 🥰 Mika and Daryl.

A quote from author A. A. Milne (the creator of Winnie the Pooh)
"Lots of people talk to animals...Not very many listen though... that's the problem"

Animals communicate with us constantly, and we here at Diva Dog are committed to listening to them. That's why, on occasion, we may have to refuse or modify a service. Whether a pet is fearful, aggressive, or in pain, we will never push them past their limits. Our primary concern is for safety. If we believe that a pet may injure themselves or our staff, or may be experiencing serious psychological distress we will stop. Sometimes haircuts aren't perfect. Sometimes nails don't get cut or filed. Sometimes we choose to cut out tangles that otherwise could have been brushed out.

We will always be forthright about your pet's behavioral and/or physical limitations, and we're happy to discuss solutions to any problems.

We understand that it is disappointing when you don't get the service you would have liked, but a haircut, bath, or nail trim is not worth hurting anyone, human or animal.

🎄 Are you ready for Christmas? 🎄
Bella, Sunny, and Indy are!

We’re getting ready to head into a very busy week, and we’d just like to note a couple of things for our customers:

1: Time keeping is always important to us, but the week leading up to Christmas it will be an absolute necessity. In order to give each client the time and attention they deserve, it is critically important that everyone arrive 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 to their appointment. Please do not arrive early or late unless prior arrangements have been made.

2. Clients arriving 𝟏𝟓 𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 will not be accepted and will be considered a no-show. Appropriate no-show fees will be assessed.

3. All pets must be picked up within 𝟑𝟎 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐔𝐓𝐄𝐒 of service completion. Late pickup charges of $1/min will be added to your bill after 30 minutes.

4. We cannot answer the phone while working with pets. Text messages will likely receive a faster response than phone calls. We will do our best to return voicemails at the 𝐄𝐍𝐃 of the day.

5. Finally, we do not have any openings for any services before the New Year.

Thanks for your cooperation and support as we close out the year!
