Hello All!

First, I want to thank each and every client I have had over the last two years for your trust and support. It means so very much to me. I started this venture two years ago as I headed into the empty nest years of my life and I’m truly so very glad I did. Suds in the Bucket has brought me so much joy and many new friendships. Seeing your fur babies faces each and everyday is absolutely the best! I love them like my own!

We are open on Saturdays solely to accommodate our clients who work during the week. We do our absolute best to squeeze in as many pups as possible. Due to several recent no-shows, we are  implementing a new policy-

▪️You must give us atleast 24 hours in the event you have to cancel/reschedule.
▪️Once you miss two scheduled Saturday appointments, you will not be able to book a Saturday without a 50% deposit that will be non-refundable if you do not show. If you do show that day, we will apply the deposit to your total.

Our Saturday day time with our families are precious to us, as they are also to you. Please understand a small business must operate with rules in order to be successful.

I deeply am grateful to each and everyone of you.
Hugs,
Candace Hoover

Hi All!

Just wanted to share a photo of my Grandpups with you all. Meet Berniece (Bennie) and Millie, my sweet girls. They are SHEEPADOODLEs and so very smart.
There is such a stigma associated with “shaving” doodles. I’m here to say, it’s NOT a bad thing. Honestly, they love it. Well, they don’t always like having it done but after they are incredibly happy.
Doodle hair can be extremely hard to deal with, brushing/combing isn’t always an option for everyone because let’s face it, life is busy. If you are not able to keep your doodles coat from matting due to maintenance issues please do not feel like you are neglecting your dog or being “a bad dog parent”. I know many doodles who are loved and cared for behind belief and they are shaved each and every groom.
If you are shaving your doodle, know it’s ok.

Look at the smile on my girls face. They love life and never mind being “shaved”. 🩷🩷

Hello Everyone!
As of Feb 1st we will be increasing bath and spa packages by $5. As always, your babies are our top priority. Unfortunately, prices have increased for everything including tools so we have to adjust to keep up with the economy. Thank you for understanding.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my small business. I absolutely love what I do and love building relationships with people in our small community.
Blessings,
Candace Hoover ❤️🐾

I did some reseach today to educate myself before making this post.

There is a massive upper respiratory infection going around and it’s affecting cats and dogs.

The first sign is usually a cough, similar to kennel cough. It’s can quickly turn to pneumonia and many times death. Be alert and watch your animals closely. Stay away from dog parks, photo sessions, play dates , pet stores, stores in general and etc…

We are meeting each appointment at the door and asking a few questions before your pup enters. Please be honest! We do not want to spread this!!

If your pup has been under the weather or showing any signs of illness please do NOT come to the shop. We can reschedule.
We have a special cleaning protocol we are following. All tools and surfaces as well as kennels/ bath tubs are being cleaned thoroughly after each pup. Please trust we are doing our part to keep your babies well.
If you have any questions message/ text or call.
504-874-7952
We love your babies and will not take any chances with their health. 🐾❤️
Here are some signs to watch out for:

Coughing
Sneezing
Labored breathing
Nose or eye discharge
Lethargy
Decreased appetite
