Hello Zen Family!

Michael, Matilda, Freyja, Token, Drogon, and I want to express our deepest gratitude for being a part of Zen Dog Grooming.

We truly appreciate each of you for supporting us as a small, local, women-owned business. Balancing business ownership and family life is no easy task, as these last 11 weeks with Freyja have shown me. But thanks to our amazing team—Diem, Ashlyn, Lydia, Kimmie, and Kaylee—being home with Freyja has been much easier.

I wanted to take a moment to reach out to everyone since I haven’t been in touch lately and let you know that I’ll be returning to work at the end of October. By then, Freyja will be a little older and better able to join me at the salon.

Thank you all for your continued support and for allowing me this precious time with her. I’m incredibly grateful to have such a wonderful team and fantastic clients. ❤️

Here are some recent grooms done by both of Zen Dog Grooming's amazing and truly talented Dog Stylist, Ashlyn and Kimmie. 💜💜

07/12/2024

This is Diem, also known as Em. Diem has been with Zen Dog Grooming for nearly four years. Starting as a bather at our Wi******er location, Diem then transitioned to the role of Receptionist. Over time, Diem's dedication and hard work led to a promotion to Office Supervisor, where they now excel in managing our front office operations.

07/03/2024

We will be closed tomorrow, July 4th, in observance of the holiday.

If your pet is reactive to fireworks, please keep them indoors and in a safe place. Turning up the TV or radio can help dampen the noise. Ensure all outdoor gates are closed while taking your dogs out for potty breaks.

Be safe and have fun! 🎇

We're thrilled to announce the arrival of our baby girl, Freyja Jean Little, born yesterday at 8:20 AM. She is healthy, weighing 7 pounds and 5 ounces, and is doing wonderfully.

Thank you all for your incredible support. A special shoutout to my team for keeping the salon running smoothly in my absence.

Amber and Michael ❤️

I want to take a moment to highlight our top senior groomer, Ashlyn. With over seven years of grooming experience and three years with our team, Ashlyn's dedication to her craft is unmatched. She continually enhances her skills by watching educational videos and has earned her master grooming certificate. We are thrilled to have Ashlyn as a part of Zen Dog Grooming, and we couldn't be happier with her contributions to our team. 💚💚

05/09/2024

Exciting news, everyone!

We're thrilled to announce that we are now welcoming both small and big clients! Our first available appointment will be on Tuesday, May 28th!

Let's give a warm welcome to Selena and Kimberly, who have joined our team. They are both amazingly sweet, and we're so happy to have found them and that they found us! ❤️

05/03/2024

We're delighted to share some exciting news regarding one of our team members, Lydia, who many of you know from our front desk. Lydia has been accepted to college out of town, and while we're sad to see her go, we're thrilled for this new chapter in her life. We wish her all the best in her endeavors!

With Lydia's departure, we now have an opening for a part-time/full-time bather and front desk assistant position. Previous experience in this field is preferred, as I'll be on leave and won't be available for training.

If you're interested in joining our team, please submit your application to [email protected] or give us a call at 256-929-2800.

04/24/2024

Good morning!

Exciting news! We've recently welcomed an incredible groomer, Selena, to our team. Her passion for grooming and love for animals are truly remarkable, and we can't wait for you to meet her.

With Selena joining us, our summer schedule is now opening up, allowing for more flexibility and availability.

Just a reminder, Amber will still be on leave from May 6th to August 5th.

Looking forward to the positive energy Selena brings to our team!

04/22/2024

Before our baby arrives in five weeks, we made a final trip to Atlanta for a dog trial. Delightfully, one of my boys, Token, earned his PDC in the PSA trial, securing fourth place with the highest score among 13 competing dogs. He now boasts two awards, including a third place in the Throwdown. Achieving this title just before maternity leave fills me with excitement, and I eagerly anticipate returning to training once our little one arrives.

Here are a few of our lovely pups for grooming and boarding over the past couple weeks. 🐶🐶🥰🥰

We kindly remind you that Ashlyn will be the sole groomer throughout the summer season. Due to high demand, we highly recommend booking your appointments well in advance, preferably until August, to secure a spot.

During my absence on maternity leave, Ashlyn, Lydia, and Em will be managing the salon. While we are actively searching for a new dog stylist, we are committed to selecting someone who meets our high standards, which may take some time. We appreciate your patience as we aim to find the perfect fit for you, your pets, and our team.

We understand the frustration of our fully booked schedule, but rest assured, we are diligently working to accommodate everyone. Em is tirelessly managing the front desk to find available slots, Lydia is juggling bath dogs while preparing for her college finals, Ashlyn is taking on additional appointments while honing her skills, and I, now 30 weeks pregnant, am still maintaining a full workload albeit at a slightly slower pace.

Your continued support means the world to us, and we are grateful for your understanding and cooperation during this busy time.🐕🐕🐕🐕

03/26/2024

It took us a moment to share this, but we'd like to recognize Ashlyn for her commendation from the National Dog Groomers Association of America. Well done, Ashlyn! Your dedication and hard work are truly appreciated.👏👏

03/13/2024

Please, make sure to book in advance, ideally up until August, to secure your spot. I'll be on leave starting May 6, 2024, and during that time, Ashlyn will be taking care of her scheduled appointments, including some of mine. Lydia will be handling baths for dogs.

Due to the high demand, slots will fill up quickly. I plan to return on August 5th, 2024.

We appreciate your patience as we strive to accommodate all our valued clients.

Feel free to reach out to Em or I if you have any questions.

03/07/2024

I wanted to provide an update regarding my maternity leave and the salon. My last day of grooming will be on May 6th, 2024, and I plan to return on August 5th, 2024. With our baby due on June 7th, 2024, I aim to continue working until close to that date.

While we're actively searching for a full-time groomer, we prioritize finding the right fit over a quick replacement, so it may take some time. I recommend booking in advance or opting for a slightly shorter grooming session until my return or until we secure a skilled Dog Stylist.

During my absence, Ashlyn will be handling some appointments, but she won't be able to take on all my clients and her workload, so your patience is greatly appreciated.

Boarding services will be temporarily suspended from May 6th, 2024, until August 5th, 2024, allowing me to prepare for the arrival of our newborn and spend quality time with my family.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. Em or I will be happy to address any inquiries you may have. 🐶

BOARDING RESERVATIONS 🐕🐕

After careful consideration of what is best for our business and my upcoming leave, we have decided to temporarily suspend accepting boarding reservations from May 1st to August 5th.

This decision coincides with the expected arrival of our baby, due on June 7th. As any new parent knows, the first 3 months after birth can be challenging, and we want to focus our energy on our newborn as a family during this time.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding during this period. If you need recommendations or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Best,
Amber and Michael

Snow has arrived!

However, the roads pose a safety risk for both clients and employees, leading to our decision to remain closed tomorrow, Tuesday, January 16th 2024. We appreciate your understanding regarding this closure and the unexpected yet exciting snowfall. ❄️⛄️⛄️☃️

The past two weeks at the new shop have been fantastic. All the pups have smoothly adapted to the updated layout. Check out some adorable snapshots from the last few days. ❤️

Michael and I are thrilled to announce that we'll be welcoming a baby girl into our family in June! Matilda is eagerly looking forward to becoming a big sister.

I'll be on leave from early May until September, but while I won't be actively grooming, I'll make occasional appearances, and the salon is just a few minutes away.

We've established a fantastic team at Zen Dog Grooming with two amazing groomers Ashlyn and Farron and an amazing assistant groomer/receptionist Lydia, and of Em has been promoted to manager, fully capable of handling any tasks. We appreciate your continued support.
