Can you believe this is the same boy?? 🥸 He has over 2 inches of hair and will be my grooming competition prospect for next year, so we are growing out that luxurious coat! 😍

I got to meet this precious baby, Quigley! He came for a meet & greet today, which is something I love to do with new puppies to establish our relationship. We cuddled, had treats, and introduced nails, scissors, and the table. I also love to help pet parents set their pups up for success, so am always willing to answer questions and give advice!

I love him already!! What a squishy little nugget he is! 😍

I will be helping Deyli with Archer Grooming Co. with this event this Saturday! Come see us!

This Saturday, July 13th stop by the shelter 9am-1pm for our microchip clinic. We are also offering nail trims and ear cleanings by Archer Grooming Co.!

Microchips will be done on a walk-in basis. If you would like to have your dog's nails trimmed or ears cleaned, we will require an appointment. To schedule an appointment, please email [email protected].

Microchipping your pets is one of the best and easiest forms of identification! The first thing we check for when a stray animal comes in is a microchip. If your pet is microchipped, we can get them home to you faster!

I am BEYOND grateful to have been nominated for Best of the Lakes Area Business. 🩷 I can’t even put into words how thankful I am!!

I also want to say how so grateful I am for my wonderful clients, and how thoughtful and caring everyone has been during my time of medical leave this summer. 🩷
I am recovering well, and am already itching to get back to work and see my fur clients again!! 🐾

Recognize your DL Lakes area business favorites!

“Summer Update”

This summer is looking a little different, as I will be out for medical leave June/July. Unfortunately, I am fully booked until then, and I will not be able to take on new clients until I can get all my regulars back on schedule. ☺️ Nail trims will still be available!!
If you have appointments already scheduled, I will be in touch in the next couple of weeks to plan accordingly!
Also, we may need to go shorter for coat length, however, it’s already looking like a great summer, so perfect time to shave the pups!! 😎

Any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out!

I am so thankful for all of my wonderful clients for their support and understanding!! ❤️

Spring has sprung!! 🌺
I know we are all giving our pets extra baths this time of year, so here’s a gadget to help you with that!

Most shampoos/conditioners should be diluted, and frothing makes a little go a long way! So you can save time and money with this little gadget.
Make sure to use a shampoo and conditioner for your pets. Steer clear of the 2:1 shampoos/conditioners, as it strips oils from the coat, without replacing them. If you have questions regarding products, feel free to reach out!

This machine can produce foam for dog and cat or other pets bathing.

*Skin Post*

Here is Rousey from when we started back in December to now!
Look at that transformation! 🤩
Rousey was itching and had dry, irritated skin.
I remember her first bath, the conditioner just soaked right into her, like her coat was craving that nourishment! Since that first bath, her coat has became so soft, bright, and less shedding. And her belly is sooo hairy!!!! 🤗
Thanks Kelsey for letting me help her and for sending me these pictures! ♥️

It’s great to be able to help our pets discover some relief! I truly enjoy doing this, and can’t wait to continue this journey of becoming a certified pet esthetician! ♥️🐾

I love me a good before and after!

Willow was phenomenal for her first grooming with me! I am stealing her!! 🩷

I got to have some fun with Val, our “little”rockstar, who I think resembles Gene Simmons. 😝🤘

And Pecco got a new “do” with a cute goatee!!

Check out my new website!
A big shout out to my sister, Tania DeMers for helping me with this. It turned out so great!

I am also starting a recommendation “blog” called Glow Up Pups 101. Make sure to follow as I will post all the wants/needs, do’s/dont’s of all things pet related, including grooming products! This will be posted on my website once I get going.

I just couldn’t wait to share the website with everyone! ❤️

Happy Friday & Super Bowl Weekend! 🏈

Jordyn is great! She was so patient with our nervous large breed. We'll definitely be back! Not to mention her grooming room is beautiful

Helping find homes!

These standard Golden Doodle babies are 10 weeks old! I got the pleasure of watching them for a couple of days over Christmas, and I am obsessed!! 😍 They are smart, sweet, and so loving!!
I got to see them yesterday, and they all piled on me as if they missed me as much as I missed them!
Mom is the infamous Olive, Golden Retriever, and Dad is the most gorgeous Standard Poodle, Claude. You can see photos and videos of them on my page.
This is their second litter, and if anyone has had the joy of watching the first litter grow up you will be just as easily swooned by this litter. ❤️
If anyone snatches these guys up, you will have a groomer for life too! 😉

I want to share a little joy….🙂

Since moving to home-based grooming, I have seen such a big difference in the dogs. I always thought I had a great bond with everyone, but now it’s even more special! The dogs are so much more relaxed and showing more of their cute personalities with me. I get ALL of the loves and kisses from them.😘 They have all of my devoted attention and with the calm atmosphere, they have showed me how much more comfortable they are with the grooming process. Now don’t get me wrong, really no animal loves to be groomed, but they do love having all of the attention on them! Also, the playtime after they are finished getting groomed, treats, and the home atmosphere makes them want to come and see me, which warms my heart! 🩷 I love each and every one of “my” dogs!! (yes, they become “mine” the minute they step foot into my care!)

Happy Friday! 🤗

*Please share with your friends & family who have fur babies*

I am excited to add on more furry clients! 🐩
I am looking for specific dogs with skin & coat issues: hair loss, skin sores, redness & irritation, dry/itchy skin, etc.
I am especially excited to excel at my Certified Pet Aesthician program. With my background in Animal Science & Biology, certified pet groomer, & many other roles, I am diving deep into helping the dogs that need relief!
I am using products from Iv San Bernard that are specifically geared to helping with skin & coat, plus hydration!
Think of this Minnesota dry weather, when your skin is dry, you lotion, right? Same goes for animals. Hydration is the key to healthy skin & coat, helps prevent matting, dirt, and debris from getting stuck in their fur. Plus, it helps make them look and smell great too!

If you or someone you know, has an itchy dog, skin issues you just can’t get rid of, or just want your dog to look and feel fabulous, please send them my way! ☺️

🐾🐩 Exciting News 🐩

This past weekend, I was fortunate enough to attend the 35th Groom Expo in Hershey, PA. I had a wonderful time with Stevie Jo Elliott, having way too much fun and so many laughs, but also learning so much more about the grooming industry!

I received a few certifications while I was there, one being a Safe Handling certification. Also, I am CPR & First Aid Certified, officially! (I was a vet technician for years, but was never officially certified.)

I am already certified in Skin Assessment, but I took home another certificate in an advanced course for Hair & Skin. Because I love science so much, I have decided to go even further and become a Certified Pet Aesthetician. This will be about a year long course for me, and I would love to share the progress! With my background of school, a B.S. in Animal Science and Biology, I look forward to being able to utilize my knowledge and become a more specialized groomer. More info to come on this! 🤗

Of course, we couldn’t visit Hershey without also bringing home some chocolate! Harry Potter chocolate to boot! 😉
