The Village Groomer - Lawrence and The Village Trainer will be closed on Monday, October 28th, so that our owners may cast their votes early for the 2024 election.

Regardless of your views or ours, we all have a commonality. We love animals, we love our family, and we love our country.

We try our best to keep political discussion away from this page, other than to say that we are proud to be inclusive businesses who welcomes customers from all walks of life with a wide range of views. We are also proud to be both women and veteran owned businesses. To avoid political discussion, we will turn off commenting on this post.

No matter who you vote for, we urge all of our followers and customers to GO VOTE!!! 🇺🇸🗳 If you are like us and already have plans or other responsibilities to care for on November 5th, visit the website below to find your early voting station and the dates that early voting will be available:

Hello, all! Right now, The Village Groomer - Lawrence is booking into December. The week before Christmas is looking very full, but there are still openings in the first and second week of December.

Please keep in mind that there are only so many hours in a day and so many days in a week. Kara is grooming dogs 53 hours per week currently. This does not include shop cleaning and maintenance.

Lately, we have had a lot of new client requests and requests to be squeezed into the schedule (IE asking Kara to stay late or come in early.) We are willing to make accommodations when we can, but right now, it is extremely difficult to find a spot in the schedule less than 5 weeks out. (Except stand alone nail trim requests). We know this can be disappointing to hear, but there are solutions available.

As always, we highly suggest scheduling multiple appointments ahead of time, or scheduling your next appointment at the end of your current appointment. We allow for clients to schedule appointments up to 90 days in advance. This allows for clients who see us every 4 to 6 weeks to schedule 2 to 3 appointments out at a time.

Our schedule can be viewed at www.villagegroomer269.com and online appointment requests can be made by current clients on this site as well.

I try my best to return calls within 24 hours, but it is always easiest to reach me via text since I am always with dogs or my family. Thank you for your continued support ❤️🐾

The Village Groomer is a family-owned pet grooming salon in historic downtown Lawrence. Book online or call today!

Dobby has tried so hard to become the family guard dog ever since Trig passed on. He says "Don't let the Hawaiian shirt fool you, I will tear you up!" (He won't, actually) 🤣 At least he is teaching Trixie how to guard the house. Such a good big brother ❤️

There have been mosquitos found with West Nile Virus in our area. Our canine companions can contract West Nile Virus, though they do tend to be more resilient to the virus than humans and other animals. A great way to protect your dog is to fill an 8 Oz. spray bottle with 6 oz. of water and 2 Oz. of lemon juice and spray it directly onto your dog's coat and around your doors/windows. (Most dogs do not like the taste of citrus, so this is also a good remedy to keep dogs from chewing at themselves, if they have allergies). Planting lavender around your yard can also help to keep pesky mosquitos away!

Special Announcement:

Yesterday at our farm in Bangor, our owner's husband suffered a medical emergency that resulted in him being taken to the hospital. The most important thing to announce is that he is now stable and resting.

Essentially, what happened was that Bruce passed a kidney stone and during the process, the straining gave him a hernia and then sent his blood pressure up to 177/124, causing a hypertensive crisis. Luckily, this did not lead to a more major cardiac event, but this event is going to require him to make some lifestyle changes, slow down, and find ways to reduce his stress levels.

What this also means, is that as of yesterday, the Bangor renovations have been put on hold. Bruce has been pushing himself entirely too hard in order to complete the construction and in doing so, he stressed himself out and damaged his health. His goal was to have the renovations done before winter, but we now know that will not be possible & we want to extend our apologies to everyone for not being able to complete the construction within the time line that was originally given.

In the meantime, Kara will continue to operate out of our Lawrence location. If anyone has questions, feel free to send Kara a text or call at 269-364-0419. We would like to remind everyone that we are a husband and wife team, so when one of us is hurt or sick, it makes doing anything "extra" very difficult. With that said, Your appointment times will remain the same and Kara will continue to be at work every day, ready to help our clients. Even while Bruce was in the ambulance and in the hospital yesterday, Kara still completed her appointments and came to Bruce's side after we knew that the dogs were okay. We know that cancelling any appointments will push those dogs back and we don't want to do that to them... or to our clients. So, it is and will continue to be business as usual.

Thank you to all of our customers for your patience and loyalty, we greatly appreciate you all.

Bellatrix has her coat on and says she's ready for fall 🍂🍁❤️ One of our favorite things to do during fall, is head over to Shultz Farms in Mattawan for some doughnuts and apple cider.

What are your favorite fall activities?
