We are so incredibly grateful for all the love our amazing clients have shown over the last few weeks. Because of you the holiday spirit has been in full swing at The Spa!! The delicious food and treats, lunches brought in and the generosity you have shown is humbling! Thank you so much for your kindness and spreading good cheer at this busy time of year!

Thought our beloved clients might want to see our staff dolled-up for a change. We've had two special events over the last few months and thought I'd share a couple photos of my amazing staff!!! Not all staff members were able to attend, so the photos are short a few people. At any rate, enjoy!

This sweet boy needs a forever home. His name is Toby, he is a nine-year-old 9 # Yorkshire terrier. He has all of his shots and is in good health. He’s been a long time Client at the Spa. His family situation has changed and they are needing to find a good loving home for their little boy. He loves children but does not like other dogs. He would be the perfect pet and companion for a retired couple or person, or a family that has someone working from home so that Toby is not alone all day. He is a sweet cutie patootie. Please message me through Facebook if you are interested in knowing more about Toby.

Found this 1994 gem on YouTube today. Back in the 90's I was the Educational Director for the Pet Specialty Products division of The Oster Company. One of my most memorable and favorite projects was to write the script and appear in The Oster Pet Grooming Video to accompany the Oster home grooming kit. Even after all these years the information is relevant. I've had an absolute blast over these last 50 years in the pet grooming industry. How blessed I am to have spent my entire career doing what I love!

We are experiencing a power outage this morning. We have made every effort to contact clients with appointments today via phone and text messaging. We’re so sorry for the inconvenience this may cause and will make every effort to reschedule as quickly as possible.

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting a young lady yesterday with a brilliant entrepreneurial flair and amazing sewing skills. Miss Morgan is the owner of Made By Morgan. She beautifully handcrafts dog bandannas and collar bows. Please check out her website https://made-by-morgan.square.site/?fbclid=IwY2xjawFJVlNleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHT-oRxX0yViZ42TLMdKgPuwBcEBvkoEZOu6x3VfSRFEmGoCx_RcjcdTx7A_aem_gS_isJVsAXVToZWSHehgvw
I am sure our clients' pets will look and feel fabulous sporting one of Morgan's couture pieces. Holidays are coming and these bandannas and bows would make a lovely gift for all the pampered pooches in your life. Let's support Morgan and her small business.

I make and sell dog bandanas that are a special kind. These don't tie, button, or on the collar. These are a scrunchie style.

To Our Wonderful Clients,
I am so very grateful for your support over these last fourteen years. I consider it an honor to have your trust and the opportunity to care for your well-loved and well-groomed pets.
My staff and I strive to provide each guest an outstanding customer experience and to treat each pet as if they were our own. Together, when my entire staff is on hand, we tout over 120 years of combined petcare and grooming experience. This experience is valuable… and especially meaningful when grooming, handling and caring for your beloved family members. My goal has always been to provide a premium service at a fair and reasonable price. Our pricing for grooming sessions has always been all-inclusive, including important services that other salons charge extra for… nail dremeling, shampoo choice and coat conditioning are examples. Our pets are all hand dried, never cage or fan dried… the list is long. You can see all the services included in our grooming sessions here: https://www.afortunatedogspa.com/grooming-services
As you are probably aware, many large companies have a starting wage of $15.00+ an hour, some offering financial aid for school, health insurance, retirement matching and PTO. It is nearly impossible for many small businesses to compete with that.
Our Spa staff is talented and kind and are of the age of becoming established in their lives… moving into their first apartment or purchasing their first home, or car… getting married, having their first child or paying for childcare or health insurance.
There is no good time to announce a price adjustment, especially for our loyal clients, however, it is for the livelihood of my staff and their families that I must do so.
The Spa team takes amazing care of our pets, even the naughty ones, and I want to retain their employment and provide each staff member an opportunity to build a better quality of life, or to at least, provide an increase in compensation to help them make ends meet.
The Spa will implement a price adjustment based on your pet’s breed, size, and style of trim, beginning on October 1, 2024 so that our team may continue to be compensated at a rate that allows The Spa to retain talented and kind staffing.
I understand that these changes may affect your budgeting and I am available for your feedback at any time. You may call The Spa at 513-583-5800 and ask for Karla.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to many more years of providing your pets an outstanding grooming experience.
Sincerely,
Karla

Our skilled staff has a combined 100 years of petcare and grooming experience. We understand that kind, compassionate care creates an environment that allows your pet to feel calm and confident while being groomed. Your best friends will come to enjoy the love and pampering they receive while at The...
