Snippany & Co. Grooming

18/09/2024

Okay everyone. I have struggled with my wording for this for a while now, but here goes. I will unfortunately not be reopening my shop after my absence while helping my mother. Having this time off with her has really made me more aware of how severe the pain in my hands has really become. I simply cannot do the job to the best of my ability any longer and I am not willing to put my name on sub par work. I am unsure of what this means for me in the future, but I know myself and my family will be alright. Change is scary but I know something better will come along as it’s meant to. I cannot express how much it has meant to me to have had the support of so many amazing people and clients over these last five years, and it feels good to at least be going out on a high. I am so grateful to each and every one of you who has given me the opportunity to get to know you and your pets. I am hopeful that maybe one day I can finally address the pain in my hands and perhaps reopen on a smaller scale. Until then, I will continue to be thankful for every little memory Snippany & Co. has brought me. I will continue to work through individual emails to make sure everyone is aware of my sudden closure. Be advised that this does mean that all appointments going forward are canceled. I apologize for this inconvenience, but I have to prioritize my own health and that of my family members at this time. Thank you again so much, I am more than happy to make recommendations and pass on any notes to future groomers for any of my clients. Please reach out via email if you have any further questions. 🖤

Hello everyone. I know many of you have left voicemails and sent emails. I have not been to the shop to return calls and I only just opened my email today. I will begin getting back to everyone but please be patient as there are quite a few to work through. I have not been back to work yet as I have been helping my mother as she transfers to a rehab facility. Thank you to all of my wonderful clients for being understanding and patient during this extremely difficult period of my life, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. If you have emailed and are waiting for a response, I should finish working through them all throughout the weekend. If you have left voicemails, please send an email instead as I am unsure when I will have time to go to the shop to return them all. Thank you again for your continued support 🖤

I just wanted to post an update for those who don’t know. My mother has been hospitalized for some time now and went in for a difficult surgery and there were complications. I have been in the ICU with her on life support all night and will be staying bedside until we know more. Todays appointments have been contacted and I anticipate having to contact tomorrows appointments as well. I apologize for any inconvenience or upset to grooming schedules but I need to prioritize my time with my mother right now as her condition is constantly changing. Thank you to all of my clients for your continued patience and understanding during this extremely difficult time in my life. Rest assured your appointments will be rescheduled for a later date however I am not able to guarantee how soon that reschedule date will be as I am unsure how long I will be staying in the ICU. I will not be responding to emails during my time at the hospital. Thank you again.

Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding with my current situation of recovery from my recent surgery. All voicemails and initial emails have been returned! Email is going to be the primary correspondence until the first week of June when I am back at work. In the meantime, I have begun taking pre-payments for grooms scheduled in June to help make ends meet during the last minute time off I’ve had to take. If you would like to pre-pay for your June appointment, please shoot me an email and we can always charge the card on file, or if you would prefer another form of payment, I will be able to take payment over the phone as well. Thank you so much to my amazing clients for their incredible kindness and support at this time. I couldn’t do this job if it weren’t for all of you 🖤 have a wonderful day!

Hello everyone!

For those of you still waiting on returned voicemails and missed calls, please be patient with me as I have been out of the shop since April 25th for my carpal tunnel surgery. I have just finished returning emails and will finally be able to get to the shop tomorrow to begin returning voicemails and calls. It has been difficult to keep up with correspondence only having one hand as of right now and no way to get to the shop to get to my phone but rest assured I should be able to get back to everyone by tomorrow evening. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding while I navigate through all of this 🖤

Science Saturday!

A little PSA as I keep seeing these recommended on social media by influencers and in groups.

Do you have a furminator?

Throw it in the bin.🗑 🚮

"But I get so much hair out with it"

A furminator is a blade. I've attached a photo of a super short grooming blade next to the furminator blade to compare. The only reason you think it works so well and you get so much hair out is because it's actually cutting your dogs coat. It cuts the good hair, the top coat and leaves long lasting damage, you may not notice at first or ever but its definitely doing the damage and your pups coat will begin to get shorter and shorter, becoming more sparse.

I've not once, nor will I ever use a furminator on a clients dog and 100% do not recommend them. They belong in the bin.

PS - if you want recommendations for your particular pet feel free to ask! I'll gladly help assist (even if you're not a client)
