You know what makes our team cringe when we are driving around town? When we see your dog shoving their head and shoulders out the car window on a drive. Why? Although it is adorable and we can see that they are having fun.... all we see is an emergency room visit. We see many dogs who fall out of or JUMP out of moving vehicles. This results in a myriad of injuries ranging from broken bones, sloughed paw pads, hit by car trauma, and even death. All it takes is the ONE time they decide to jump. Even at 20 mph foot pads can slough and you can have broken legs.

If you want your dog to hang it's head out the window... consider a harness with seatbelt for safety and eye wear. If they can get their shoulders out the opening, they can get their WHOLE body out. Be safe and avoid injury by investing in the proper gear for your pet to have fun!

Thank you Kelly for you educational words!

I had someone come in last week telling me about how her dog had been cut at another grooming shop. I had seen the dog for a nail clip a few weeks before and it's coat was pelted to the skin.
This is what our blades look like. All it takes is a little piece of skin to get between the teeth and come in contact with the cutting blade to knick the skin. There are a dozen places on a dog that the skin can easily get between the teeth but when they're matted it's easier for the skin to get pulled up into the blade. I've done it. I had a shih tzu with a matted belly and I hit a ni**le. She had to go to the vet for a stitch.
I'm sharing this because I felt bad for the groomer being bad mouthed. Also, to explain just how easy it is to cut their skin. Matted hair, behavioral issues, older dogs have less collagen, there are lots of factors that make grooming more difficult and none of the groomers I know would intentionally hurt an animal.

Hi everyone, my knee is coming along slow but sure. If you have a dog that needs to be groomed please reach out to me. I have 3 days with openings, March 25-26 & 27th. Please call, message or text me for an appointment. I am able to now take a few new clients with small dogs under 30lbs and Australian shepherds/ miniature American Shepherds! No other large dogs! Hope everyone has a great spring.

Hi everyone. I'm still on part time right now. This knee is taking longer than I expected to get over. Please be very patient with me. If you haven't heard from me, please call, message or text me and I'll get you in as soon as I can.

Happy New Years everyone! I had my Dr. appointment today and it was a good one! I will be going back to work on Monday! Woohoo! Now I ask for your patience as I get back into the swing of things. I’m not going to be able to get every in in the first week. I’ll only be doing 2 dogs a day for a bit and work up. For the first 2 weeks I’m only going to take small dogs. I still have some pain but it’s coming along! I’ve made a few changes to accommodate my needs. So I will be taking pet In the most need of grooming first. If your dog hasn’t been done since I’ve been out I want to take them first. I pretty much have a clear book for now! Sorry no new clients at this time. My loyal clients come first!

We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I really hope I can get back to work very soon. Hope to see all of you in 2024

Hi all! I wanted to give you an update on my knee. Good news is it is healing. He said I do need to be Non-weight bearing for another 4 weeks and I’m not able to see the dr. Till 6 weeks. Bad news is the shop is going to be closed till early January! I hate this cause I miss all of you! But I had been tossing around staying closed because of the 2 puppies I have in the house. This dog virus is scary stuff. I’m not letting my dogs off my property for now. Please keep your dogs safe and healthy. Hope you all have a happy holiday and hope everyone is Well! I will try to keep everyone updated!

Remember that when you come in to use a regular 4-6 foot leash for the safety of all!

🚫 Stop Using Retractable Leashes 🚫

Retractable leashes are popular primarily because they aren't as confining as regular leashes, allowing dogs more freedom to sniff and poke around on walks. 🦮🚶 Unfortunately, they have many downsides 👎 as well. Here are 10 reasons why you should avoid using them: https://bit.ly/46RAcfa

Hi all. I wanted to give everyone a heads up! I will be closed from January 12th thro till some time in early March. I will be having Carpel tunnel surgery. I will be seeing many of you coming up and I’m going to try to get some of you in the first week of January that are due in the second week But I will not be able to get everyone! I will hold off making any appointments till I am closer to coming back to work! So if you have an appointment in January February they are canceled. It will be at least the second week of March before I will be back!
