PLEASE, EVEN IF YOU'VE ALREADY WATCHED THIS, WATCH IT AGAIN!! This just happened to a good friend of mine today and she saved her dog's life because she had seen this before. She was shocked at how hard she had to push and how quickly her dog turned blue. Please share this!

As winter arrives and temperatures drop, remember that some dogs are bred to be outside in cold weather. Heavy-coated northern dogs like huskies, malamutes, Great Pyrenees, Newfoundlands, and Bernese mountain dogs are bred to stay outside all winter and frequently prefer to be outside even in bitterly cold temperatures – often to their owners’ dismay. If you see a dog with a full coat outside this winter, they are probably perfectly happy. There is no need to call us unless they are visibly shivering.

UPDATE ON DROP OFF/ PICK UP PROCEDURES AND PAYMENTS:

We are changing a few things to make things run a little smoother, but still keeping people's safety and social distancing in mind. When you arrive to drop off or pick up your dog please call when you arrive and come to my back door and wait outside. If I didn't answer the phone feel free to knock on the door. I will come out to meet you to make the exchange. This way we aren't close to the street and the dogs don't have to be as nervous with me taking them away from you. They are pretty unsure of me when I'm wearing a mask and taking them away from their family. I'll continue to wear a mask to make sure everyone feels more comfortable because during our exchange it is impossible to stay 6 feet away. I do not require you to wear a mask. I will put my own lead on your dog and have you take their collar and leash with you. When you return you can put their collar and leash back on them or carry them to the car. I've chosen to do this because I don't want to continue to sanitize my desk, door handles, and entry way between each person coming and going. I am already overwhelmed with the extra sanitizing I am already doing and it takes a lot of extra time, and I'm sensitive to the smell and I can only imagine so are the dogs! I prefer payments through Venmo if possible. My next preferred method of payment would be check or exact cash (I'm not making change). I am also able to email you an invoice via SQUARE and you can pay that invoice with your credit card.

Thank you all again for your cooperation and your support during these difficult times! I'm so happy to see all of you again!

NEW CURBSIDE PROCEDURE:
Due to Covid-19 we are required to take precautions in order to provide services for your dog while trying to keep everyone safe in the process. Please review the following:

*CANCEL YOUR APPOINTMENT IF ANYONE HAS EXPERIENCED ANY SYMPTOMS OF CORONAVIRUS AND HAS BEEN AROUND YOUR DOG! (We promise to work you back into the schedule as soon as it is safe to do so)

*Masks are to be worn by both myself and the customer.
~Specifically in our situation it may be impossible to transfer the pet without breaking social distance requirements so that is why it is important that wear a mask as well.

*No one is allowed inside the shop at anytime.

*Customers must call when they arrive, allow a few minutes for us to come out and get the dog. If a few minutes has passed and no one has answered the phone or come out to get the dog please knock on the large garage door (not my shop entry door).

*Payment method preferred is through the Venmo app. I can also email you a invoice through Square and you can pay that way with your credit card.

*All payments must be completed before you pick up your pet

*You must call when you arrive to pick up your dog and we will bring them out to you.

Due to these new procedures things will run more slowly than normal so please plan for your pet to be with us longer than normal.

We are so excited to be back to work, and can't wait to see you all again. Thank you in advance for your cooperation, your understanding and your continued support!

I spent 4 hours today starting the rescheduling process. If you were on the schedule you'll hear from me in the next few days. If you don't have an appointment on my schedule contact me after May 25th for more information on availability. I am not taking any new clients. Please keep in mind I'm the only groomer here and I am trying to get 2 months worth of dogs done in one month. I miss you all and I know you REALLY need your dogs groomed. If you need to take your dog elsewhere I totally understand, but please let me know so I can plan accordingly. I will post information on our new procedures for drop off, pick up, and payments this weekend. Stay tuned! Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Tomorrow our Governor will announce what is happening with the stay at home order. We should have answers as to when we can reopen, or if we need to keep waiting. Some have heard that grooming can re-open but that is not true yet for MN, that was for WI. Thank you for your patience. I'll keep you updated as soon as I hear something!

The state's mandatory shut down for non-essential workers has been extended to May 4th. We are closed until further notice. I will contact you if you have a appointment scheduled during this period of time. No appointments will be rescheduled until we have an official date confirmed for us to reopen. I am not taking any new clients or any new appointments at this time. I am the only groomer here and it will be a huge task for me to figure out when and where I am going to reschedule a month's worth of clients, on top of a schedule that is already booked out way past that. I'm asking for your patience and understanding during this time. I will need to take into consideration which dog's health and well being are at risk when it comes to rescheduling , not just going by who was first on the schedule. Desperate times call for desperate measures and it will not seem fair, but as always, the well being of your dogs are in my best interest. If you are able to get your dog scheduled somewhere else in the meantime, I totally understand! Please let me know because I'll be strategizing how to make all of this work and knowing your dog is not needing my services will help me free up space for other clients that are waiting. Although I'd love to have you all wait for me, I realize that is unrealistic and I am only one person, so I'll never be able to catch up. Please do what you have to do and we hope in the future you'll call us to book your appointment 6-8 weeks in advance like most of you have been doing for the past year. Thank you so much for your patronage, support, and understanding during these difficult times. If you have questions about what you can be doing at home, or how to remove a mat, I may be able to talk you through it over the phone. My main advise for most of you is brush your dog with a slicker brush, and a metal comb. If you have a dog with hair that gets matted always brush backwards (against the grain of the coat) and use your metal comb to find areas that may require more brushing. Do not wash your dog until it is brushed out well or the mats will tighten. If your dog's nails are getting long and you can't cut them at home try going for more walks on concrete or pavement to wear them down. HOPE YOU ALL TAKE CARE AND STAY WELL!!! LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU IN THE FUTURE!

Due to the recent state mandate we are forced to shut our doors this Friday March 27th at 11:59pm. As of right now we are told we can reopen April 10th. Most of you know my current schedule is booked out 2 months and I haven't been taking new clients for over a year in order to better serve the clients I already have. I will be notifying all of you that are scheduled during the shut down. I don't know how, or when we will figure out rescheduling just yet. I don't want to rearrange my schedule until we get the all clear encase there is an extension on our closure. Please be patient in the upcoming weeks. I'm going to do my best to get you rescheduled as soon as possible. Thank you for all of your support during this difficult time. Stay safe, stay inside, stay healthy!
