Handsome Roscoe was my very first client that wasn’t friends or family when I started my business many years ago and the time has come for him to cross the rainbow bridge. Many fur babies have passed over the years and I always wondered if it would hit me harder when it was Roscoes time. It definitely does and I will miss him dearly! He has always been so handsome even in the earlier days when I was perfecting my teddy bear styles lol. I love you Roscoe! Can’t wait to see you again in doggie heaven ❤️❤️
I have went through and made sure all appointments on the book are confirmed on my end. If you still have not received confirmation please send me a message! I know this has caused confusion with some people forgetting their appointments. ❤️🐾
Hey everyone! I have been hearing reports that kennel cough is going around, with one of my clients even getting it. I want y'all to know that when covid hit I invested in UVC sanitation lighting as an extra step in preventing transmission of germs and diseases. However this only goes so far so please make sure your pet is up to date on vaccines as recommended by your veterinarian. It's also very important to be aware of your pets health so that you can keep them home if they are symptomatic and don't spread germs to others!
I've included the symptoms of kennel cough at the bottom of this post. If your pet is exhibiting any of these symptoms please reschedule your grooming appointment, there will be no penalties - even if it's last minute ❤️🐾
Thank you for your support and understanding!

Common clinical signs include a loud cough, often described as a 'goose honk', runny eyes and nose, swollen tonsils, wheezing, lack of appetite, and depressed behavior. Most dogs with infectious tracheobronchitis will cough when the throat is rubbed or palpated or during and after exercise.
I had to rearrange my schedule and have an opening for one small dog tomorrow morning. Send me a message if you'd like to get your sweetie in tomorrow! 🐾❤️🐾❤️
I had to rearrange my schedule and have two openings tomorrow at 11:00 and 1:00 If anyone wants to get in sooner who already has an appointment scheduled! Please send me a message if you would like one of these slots 🐾❤️

I know I am late posting but I hope all of my clients had a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays! I have been blessed with some of the best clients ever and I love you all so very much and look forward to the new year! ❤️🐾❤️🐾
Ms Karrie from Wiffy Scents dropped off a holiday sampler pack for me to try! So many yummy scents to get you in the mood for the holidays! Right now I am loving Sugared Spruce for my home scent and Deck the Paws for the pups! ❤️🐾❤️🐾 Thank you so much Ms Karrie!
I just had a second time doodle client that I had to threaten to call the police on! She wouldn't leave and just kept standing there arguing with me, telling me how unhappy she was and how I didn't do what she asked. After calling and complaining about price. Made fun of me for having anxiety bc my voice was shaking. I can't believe it. I literally have hundreds of happy clients that love me and are literally like family now. I've never had someone so upset about their dogs haircut in my life...to the point I had to tell her I would call the police if she didn't leave. In front of her child no less! I am sorry to all who love referring friends and family to me. But I don't know how I feel about opening myself up to such hostility and I am considering closing my books to referrals only from loyal clients. Thank you so much for your support and understanding ❤️ and thank you to Prattville Police Department for telling me what to do should that happen again.
Sweet Sadie ❤️🐾
Out of all my poodles there is only one that gets bed privileges. Does that make her the favorite? She thinks so 😂
I groomed this handsome papa today! See details for one of his pups! ❤️🐾❤️🐾
I hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! With even more holiday appointments coming up I wanted to remind everyone the importance of brushing your sweetie in between grooming appointments (and especially the day of your appointment 😁) in order for them to look and feel their best. I have been very lenient on my matted pet policy, but from now on any matting will be an additional $30 minimum on top of the grooming price. The reason is because matted fur absolutely RUINS my equipment.
Here's how:
#1 - I cannot bathe your pet if it is matted (and you shouldn't either!) When tangles and matting start to form, they trap debris and dander in the coat and it is impossible to thoroughly clean the skin and hair shaft. When you get your pets matting wet - it dries even tighter! And the problem gets worse. This is why you should always brush out tangles before bathing! Matted fur CANNOT be brushed out in the span of one day and requires shaving.
Which brings me to #2
The matting has to be removed in order for me to properly bathe your dog. Normally, I don't let my equipment touch dirty dogs because the dander and dirt in their coat dulls my blades almost instantaneously. But with these matted sweeties - cutting dirty hair is the only option because properly bathing them is impossible. So I sacrifice my equipment so that your sweetie can feel their best!
Some people think that I'm so good at what I do I can brush out their matted dogs! What a compliment. However, some of you would be booking my entire week and paying thousands of dollars for all those time slots 😬 not feasible. Dog gets shaved.
The cost of a blade +timely shipping can fluctuate anywhere between $30-50 depending on where I purchase for quickest delivery. So that's why it will be an additional $30 minimum for me to shave a matted pet before their bath. My doodle clients are already familiar with this policy, but now it applies to everyone 😃
I try to be very lenient and understanding, because I get it! Life gets very busy and sometimes there just isn't enough time or energy to wrestle with your little fur monster and brush for 30 minutes at the end of the day. However. Matted fur is considered NEGLECT. It is PREVENTABLE. If someone doesn't brush their teeth, they are not mad at their dentist when all their teeth have to be removed. Thank goodness your dog's hair will grow back! 😃 And I promise to never make you feel bad as long as you are understanding that it does cost more.
In the comments I am going to post my list of products that I send to all my doodle people. Doodles/poodles are very high maintenance but other breeds can benefit from them as well. A great idea for stocking gifts for your pet this Christmas! Thank you so much for your support and understanding!! ❤️🐾
I hope everyone is having a great week!
I have the following appts available due to rescheduling that are not visible on my square booking site:
Thursday November 3rd: 9:00 am & 1:00 pm

What a pretty mama to be! 💕🐶
We are out of town this weekend for a conference. I will be replying to everyone’s appointment requests and inquiries as I am able. I’ve got an exciting debut for you all later today so stay tuned 💕🐶
That feeling when someone is playing with your hair. 💕🐶
Due to increased demand resulting in longer wait times for appointment availability — we are considering transitioning to a Referral Only model in early 2019. I will only be accepting new clients that are referred by current or previous clients. Please keep in mind when referring friends that prices are determined on an individual basis based on breed, coat type and condition, & temperament. I will keep everyone updated on this policy. Feel free to share if you know of someone in need of a new groomer. 💕🐩 -Shelby
Roscoe’s voice if he were human 🤣🐶💕
Look at how much Yuri trusts me! She loves everything about being spoiled and pampered 😉 the crinkle of a treat bag will stand her up real quick though! 😂
This is how the majority of them act for nails, btw 😉
