I don’t offer color dyeing in my shop, but… I can change your dog’s coat color!

Dirt, oils, and buildup can leave white coats looking dull, yellowed, or even a whole different shade. Regular grooming keeps your pup’s coat bright, clean, and healthy.

Check out this "bath and tidy" before-and-after—same dog, just a much cleaner version! ✨

Sometimes owners believe it is best to not groom their pet in the winter months so they "will be warmer". However, not grooming your pet in the winter can have the opposite effect.

Pets with coats that are groomed on a regular schedule, should be kept on schedule throughout the year. Every spring we see it in our salons. Dogs who are on a regular grooming schedule, but haven't been in for months simply because it's cold outside. The coat is matted and/or pelted and the poor pet gets shaved to the skin. Owners are upset because they don't understand that a blade must pass 'under' matting, it cannot go through it. Sometimes there are injuries or skin infections discovered underneath all that mess which leads to veterinary visits.

Keeping fur bearing breeds groomed means excessive undercoat does not build up allowing the coat to do it's job. The guard coat reflects wetness and cold, while the undercoat holds warm air near the skin.

For hair bearing breeds, it's okay to groom a bit longer for winter warmth, but dead undercoat still needs to be removed. However, 1/2 inch of extra coat keeps your pet no warmer. You will need extra inches if you are growing for warmth and that may mean more frequent grooming to prevent matting.

Is winter grooming really necessary? Absolutely it is!

We are just SO excited!

I found the cutest new collar bows that are just a few cents more than the ones I usually keep in stock. You all love them so much, and I absolutely adore seeing how excited you are over such a simple gift! It brings me so much joy to offer quality work with fun extras that make your visits even more special. ❤️

I can’t wait for you to see them at your next visit!

What Does a 6-Week Groom Schedule Look Like for a Saint Bernard?

Today, I want to share what a regular grooming routine looks like for this sweet Saint Bernard! At almost 9 years old, he’s been on a 6-week schedule for the last few years, which is perfect for keeping his coat and skin healthy while managing shedding.

🐾 The Shedding Cycle
Double-coated breeds like Saints shed every day of the year. They have heavier shedding cycles during the fall/early winter (to make room for their thick, winter coat) and in the spring, (to get rid of that thick winter coat!) Regular grooming ensures we keep that under control and helps prevent matting, as well as managing their skin and coat health.

🐾 Bath Time
Since he’s older, I allow him to sit comfortably in the tub as he needs. The goal is to make this experience as gentle and stress-free as possible for him.

🐾 Blow Drying
Blow drying takes about 30–40 minutes to get his thick coat mostly dry. Afterward, he relaxes in the dryer cage (which blows room-temperature air) while I clean up the shop. This gives him a break while I reset the shop. I then take care of any spots that are still damp on the table with my smaller dryer.

🐾 Protection for Him and Me
Protection is a priority during grooming! I use ear and lung protection for myself since I blow dry and clip up to 8 dogs a day. For him, I use a Happy Hoodie during blow drying, which reduces noise and keeps him calm and comfortable.

🐾 Tidy-Up Time
Once his coat is clean and dry, I tidy up his flyaway hairs on his chest, belly, feet, and butt to keep him looking neat and feeling comfortable.

Routine grooms like this help maintain his coat, reduce shedding at home, and keep him comfortable. Grooming isn't just about appearances; it's a big part of his overall health and well-being!

❄️Well this will be a first! I've never had to cancel/postpone a clinic!❄️

Update: Good morning, everyone! The snow has arrived, and for everyone's safety, I’ve decided to move the clinic to next weekend. Thank you for your understanding. I’ll update the flyer as well. Stay warm and safe out there!

As of right now, they are calling for snow tonight all through tomorrow. Unfortunately I may need to postpone the clinic tomorrow. I wanted to post this now, and let you know I will update THIS post tomorrow morning by 8 o'clock with my decision. Safety comes first! I just want to see if those weatherman can be trusted this time around 🤪

Thank you guys, see you in the shop!🐕

I decided to close the shop today due to the road conditions near my house! Crossing my fingers the storms coming won't disrupt any more work days, but we will see 🤪❄️

Everyone stay safe, and have a happy snow day!
