Madra Pet Styling Dog grooming

UPDATE
I had my surgery on 8/7. Got some hardware in my wrist, so hoping to get back to grooming bionic style soon! Hoping for mid September, October 1 at the latest. If therapy goes well, sooner rather than later. I can almost cross my fingers! I miss you!

FYI

Did you know that pet grooming is a completely unregulated industry? There is no requirement for formal education, no required continuing education, and no required testing or certification?

Anyone and everyone can just pick up a pair of clippers and start advertising themselves as a groomer and charge people for a service they aren’t trained to perform.

It’s completely up to you, the owner, to do your research and make sure the person you are trusting with the health and safety of your pet is qualified to care for them.

Every groomer should be trained, and that very basic training takes months.

It takes years to truly master the ins and outs of grooming and everything that goes along with it.

Pet grooming is so much more than just a hair style.

*It’s knowing dog behavior and how to safely handle all the different personalities and quirks.

*It’s recognizing health conditions that would be better suited seeing a vet such as skin or ear infections.

*It’s being prepared for any and all emergencies that can happen, from seizures to allergic reactions, to nicks and cuts and quicked toenails without panicking.

*It’s knowing how to best deal with a variety of coat types properly.

*It’s being able to know when to stop a service on a particular dog due to behavior or health.

*It’s having the knowledge and patience to handle a different species while holding razor sharp clippers or 8 inch long scissors.

At the very least, the groomer you use should seek out continuing education to make sure they are current on the changes in the industry, from upgrades in products to tools that make the process easier for the pet and them.

They should be current on their pet cpr/first aid certification which needs repeated every couple of years.

They should be able to answer your grooming related questions with knowledge and confidence and if they don’t know the answer they should know where to find it.

They should have an emergency plan in place with a local veterinarian in case anything happens, because when working with animals it’s not a matter of if something happens, but when.

They should come recommended by other pet owners and pet professionals.

And it’s worth noting that there is nothing wrong with using a groomer that is still in training, but they should be working alongside an experienced groomer and under their direct supervision.

Ask the questions, after all you are paying them for a service. A groomer who has spent time and money to be as educated as possible is excited to share their knowledge!

A little update, for my current clients (friends), and anyone new that has interest. I will be down with a broken wrist for about 6-8 weeks. Those who have appointments, I will reach out and get you sorted with alternatives. If you need a referral, please text me, I’ll do my best to get you to a groomer that works for you. Tis a bump in the road, I’ll be back soon!

Dogs are dogs. They're not fur babies. They're not children. They're dogs.

That doesn't mean I don't love my dogs. It doesn't mean you can't call them your "kids" or "fur children." But for their sake, respect that they are dogs. Treat them well, but treat them as they should be.

People humanizing dogs is actually what's getting a lot of them put down, rehomed, dumped, and loaded with behavioral issues.

The best way to honor and love your dog is to respect the fact that they are different from us. That's part of what makes them so amazing!!

Bringing home a new dog and giving it whatever it wants, whenever it wants, is not setting them up for success. It may feel good to "spoil" them. I get it, but what you're actually doing is creating a brat.

I hear this often: "My dog bit our friend on the couch because he thinks the couch is his." OK, who let them think that? The dog didn't just waltz in and claim your couch. The dog wasn't given boundaries to begin with. I let my dogs on the couch, but if I tell them to get off and go to their bed, they will without hesitation. They've earned that privilege based on respect, trust, and understanding.

If you want to "spoil" your dog, do it by setting them up for success. Exercise them, give them boundaries, give them a job, and give them what they actually need instead of the latest squeaky toy. The time you spend playing with your dog means more than the toy itself.

Love your dog. Cherish your dog. Respect your dog, but for the love of the dog, TREAT THEM LIKE A DOG.

(And before anyone wants to say something silly...My dogs are my family. They literally signed my marriage certificate, but they also have boundaries. Just like any healthy family should!)

YAY! One of our most loved favorites! 🍕 ❤️

I’ve not heard of any cases in the area so far, but please, if you think your dog might be even a bit “off”, please cancel. As much as I can clean, keep dogs no contact, take fewer dogs per day, and spread out my appointments, it’s airborne.

Due to overwhelming demand, I’m not taking new clients. Existing clients, please consider booking in advance, as I am now taking appointments into 2023.
Thank you all for your support over the last few years!

Hello All. So we are having a rough patch at the store. Very very little traffic which means no sales so no money for our rescue dogs. We really need to get the word out, come shop at paws, 16040 w national ave. 100 percent of every sale is a direct donation to our rescue dogs with canine cupids 501c. What can we do to improve? Can anyone help us with advertising etc? We love our customers and want to stay in business and hope we can get the word out so we can save more dogs .
We accept pet related items and all are tax deductible but what we really need is foot traffic and sales. Thank you all for your time reading this. Our volunteers work so hard to try and raise money and it takes a village to keep this afloat. ❤️ 💙 💜 💖

My email is back! Sorry to anyone that tried to communicate in the last week.

05/10/2022

Well, it seems I’ve lost my website domain, and with it my email. My hands are tied as I try to figure it out. Some sort of scam. Again, the best was to reach me is by phone or text, and then messenger here.

Only accepting new clients for puppies under 4 months of age and pugs. I’m booking out 2 weeks, and Saturdays need to be booked months ahead.
I will happily give referrals for other salons.

Oh Abby. AbFab. Every 2 weeks for... a decade? You were the best, my grand old lady. 💔
Credits to her dedicated sitter Cindy, that brought her to me. Never met the owner, but credit to him to keeping me as her groomer after he moved to Oconomowoc. I had a special bed for her, and it’s now been passed on to another special sheepdog that needs it. Love you Abs
Thanks for the pic, Cindy Steinle 💗😭
