"Nobody wants to know your name!"

That's so relatable! If I see you without your dog I won't have a clue who you are 😅

Clients,

I will be taking home based, one-on-one appointments starting May 1st, full time.

Here's what you need to know:

🐾 Hours of operation will be left open to allow for flexibility.

🐾 Appointments will be limited to 2-3 dogs per day, giving me more time to focus on the quality grooms that I strive for.

🐾 No kenneling or loud disruptions.

🐾 High quality products and equipment, always.

🐾 All inclusive grooming. No add ons or separate fees. Pricing is based on your individual dogs needs.

🐾 Located off O and 26th st

I've done home based grooms in the past and it's a game changer for anxious or easily distracted dogs (and groomers!).

If you would like an estimate or to book an appointment, please text or leave a voicemail. The automated FB messages are inaccurate and a hassle to mess with, but I will try to check daily.

The week of May 12th-17th is unavailable.

Dakota’s Mobile Pet Nail Trimming Service client needs some community support.

If you're unable to donate you could share, engage with the post by care reacting it (boosting it in newsfeeds), or comment with words of encouragement for her.

I am sharing this benefit on behalf of my longtime customer Kelley. She is suffering a brain injury from a fall. Any support is appreciated!

Thanks y'all for listening. The message was delivered where it needed to be.

Here's Miss Evelyn enjoying the sunshine and her new grippy socks yesterday. The warmer weather will do everyone some good!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but...

Your dogs groom is going to take as long as it's going to take.

Do not show up early and unannounced.

Do not call and ask how much longer.

Do not tell me when I need to be done.

Do not ask me what took so long.

Your dog will be perfectly fine waiting 2-4 hours, longer if you bring multiple. They are not dying of thirst, starvation, or lack of attention.

There are a thousand reasons why an appointment can take longer than expected, and none of them are laziness. I don't know who decided that groomers need to be fast and what makes clients think they get to dictate how long an appointment should take, but that can go in the trash where it belongs.

Why, WHY, would you want someone (whose credentials you definitely don't know because no one ever asks) to speed groom your dog with razer sharp blades and shears? Why would you want that person to feel stressed with your dog? Where does your dog need to be that it's on a time crunch? The couch?

I can, will, and do, take as much time as I need to be thorough, do a good job, and return dogs to their owners without injuries or missing appendages. The reality is that unless you are in this industry, you have NO idea what we deal with on a daily basis.

If a groom takes longer, then so be it. The work is done when it's done. Not every groomer is fast and if they are, give it a few years for some part of their body to bend the wrong way and break.

I'm 34 years old. In groomer years, I'm 300 and exhale dust. It takes me a full two hours to wake up and drag my body out of bed. Just be happy I showed up to groom your dog and didn't check into a retirement home.

Evelyn wants to remind you that it's getting cooler out and that means the holiday's are around the corner. Fall and winter are a groomers busiest time of year, so make sure to book your appointments in advance! Don't wait until last minute. I'll be asking clients to secure their next two appointments at pick up and give them first pick for the holiday week, so I expect availability to be limited over the next couple months.

If your pups are looking a little homely around Christmas and you're expecting guests or want to include them in pictures, get ahead of the crowd! Don't be that frantic dog mom or dad desperately calling around!

(If you want color or a creative cut I would ADORE you! Let's do something fun!)

Evelyn, however, will not be on the schedule. Her dad is in charge of grooming her for the holidays.

Happy 4th to our wonderful clients and pups!

I dropped my new phone in the creek last month so this is the quality we're working with.

I have an opening Thursday after 11:30, and appointments available at the end of next week, including SATURDAY! Looking into the rest of the month my schedule is filling up with reoccurring appointments, so going forward clients will be pre-booked at pick up. I'm starting to see regulars again and it feels good to know what to expect and if my day will be straight forward or if I need to adjust for a dog that needs extra attention.

You can book an appointment with any of our amazing and talented groomers by calling or emailing Vanity Fur!

Jasper had a whole transformation yesterday. Can't wait to work with this mellow boy again!

Clients, if you know someone who's dog is in decent shape and needs a haircut, we have an apprentice that needs pups to practice on. The only requirement is that they are kind to her, willing to let her take her time, and don't mind if the cut isn't perfect. My clients are also welcome to book with her.

Reach out to Amy or Paula at Vanity Fur to get scheduled!

I had a realization today that my favorite dogs to groom are the ones who stay on a regular schedule, because we get to know each other so well that we can work as a team. You can't drop your dog off at the groomer and expect perfection the first, second, or third time. They don't know if I'm going to eat their paws and I don't know if they're going to eat my face.

Kelso has come so far with his table manners and social skills. He doesn't cower and hide, has more patience, wants to play, and is slowly coming around to the other groomers approaching him. I love to see a flower grow and blossom. I've been getting a lot of new and difficult dogs this past month, which has been mentally and physically trying, but I know that if I invest in them that the reward will be worth the initial struggle. You have to lose before you can win, right? We can't celebrate the wins with you and your dog if we're not given the opportunity for success.

My point is that groomers want consistency and so does your dog, so pre-book your appointments.

Anyway, here's Kelso!

Some dogs come in with the intention to make your day better. Love your humor, quiet grumbles, and friendship, big guy.

I am grateful to have found such a wonderful shop to call home! I cannot recommend the groomers at Vanity Fur enough. They are all exceptional at what they do, the owner is one of the sweetest people I've ever worked for, and their doggy clients adore them! Give us a call to set up an appointment!

Good morning! Just dropping by to say I just had my gallbladder taken out, so I'm not grooming for the next week or so. When I'm back to work I will be on a weight limit for four weeks. You can still book by calling Vanity Fur, just know that your appointment may be moved to another groomer if they're over the weight limit.

Recovery is going great but I'll be happy to see my clients in a couple weeks!
