Hello to all my wonderful clientele! I have some bittersweet news to tell you. After 38 years of grooming your wonderful pets, I have decided it is time to move on from the grooming shop. I couldn’t have asked for better clientele! You all have been so kind and patient with me for all of these year! I have enjoyed your wonderful pets that you have entrusted to me, knowing that I would treat them as the precious family members that they are! I have loved you and enjoyed visiting with you, laughing and crying at times. I have enjoyed all the stories of your pets their adventures throughout the years. I thank you so much for following me to different locations and seeking me out wherever I have moved to. Some of you have been with me for most of my career and that’s a long time. . Thank you for your loyalty❤️. I also thank the new customers for giving Bonitas Grooming a try. I hope that you were happy with our work!
Kelsie Sager is going to be starting her own business at the same shop so don’t worry, someone will be around to take care of your precious pups😉. Kelsie has worked with me for about 2 1/2 years and will do a great job for you! Gretchen has gone on to teach English at The Craig School. They have gained a great teacher and wonderful gal, having Gretchen! We have missed her at the grooming shop! Lots of changes going on but that is what life is all about.
Here is Kelsie Sager’s telephone number (816) 248-1915. You will need to call her to make your appointments now as I’m booked up until my last day September 21st.
Thank you again for all your business and your friendship, I’ll be seeing you around!

Hello everyone! I can’t believe that it’s almost Easter! We’re so Blessed that we have have a Risen Savior! Hallelujah!

I haven’t posted for a few weeks so I have a lot of cute pictures of grooms that we have done for you to enjoy! Maybe you will even see one of your sweet pooches in a pictures!

Now I would like to visit with you a little bit about the popular and sweet natured Doodles. They are wonderful dogs and have a beautiful hair coat to look at but these combinations of breeds don’t always make for easy to manage hair. Especially the Goldendoodle hair, when they are getting their adult hair they tend to Mat from the skin up. So you may be brushing the top of the hair and thinking that you are getting the mats out but you need to brush clear to the skin. I can even be fooled, thinking that a doodle is mat free until I try to use a clip on blade on it just to find out that it stops as soon as I try to run it through what I thought was brushed out hair. These dogs don’t blow their coats like a German shepherd or a collie, so they seem shed free but when you really bush them out properly you will get lots and lots of hair that needs to be brushed out of their coats or it just will hang up in there and cause matting. If you cannot run a wide tooth comb through your dogs hair coat, clear down to the skin, then it isn’t throughly brushed out. That is how it has to be before we can get your doodles hair styled in those nice long grooms that we all love to see. I have spent up to 7 hours brushing out and styling doodles because they weren’t super matted but they also weren’t really brushed out well at all, down to the skin. That is very hard on the dog and very hard on us. It is best when they are like that, to cut them down short and I mean almost to the skin and start over, when it gets to that point. I know that we hate to have to cut them that short but it grows super fast and then we can keep them on a schedule of once a month or and about the longest they can go in between grooms is 6 weeks, and even coming that often you need to be brushing them out throughly 2 to 3 times a week and making sure that you can get a comb through it also. And When you want them to be kept an inch long, you will need to brush them out daily. 
I know that this has been a long post but I felt that I needed to let you all know how much we love your doodles but it’s not fair to them to be pulled on so much when they come in to get beautified. I know that most of you have no idea that they aren’t brushed out throughly because you have brushed them. Next time you brush your dog out, do the comb test and then you will know for sure if you have done a Good job. We thank you so much for your business and for allowing us to beautiful and take care of your baby’s! We want them to enjoy their time with us. ❤️

Now for the pictures❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
