Appreciating all those who have donated and gotten some Kilo’s Kookies 💖💖💖 Handmade treats from Kilo’s family. What a wonderful act of service in the name of a wonderful dog. All proceeds go to Samantha’s fund and help fund emergency vet services.

Our hearts are breaking. We get so attached to our dogs as well as the owners. We have had a couple very hard losses lately. My hope is you are making friends with all of our other kids on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

It is with broken hearts the St. Augustine Beach Police Department announces the passing of K9 Kilo due to an unexpected medical emergency. We can not thank the medical professionals at St. Augustine Regional Veterinary Emergency Center enough for all of their efforts, compassion, and professionalism during this time.

Thank you for your patience while our agency navigates through this unfortunate situation, we will provide more information when possible.

We ask that at this time you keep K9 Kilo’s handler Cpl. Cline and family in your prayers.

We have all lost pets and pieces of our heart. Until we can hold them tight again we can take comfort knowing they are happy and healthy.

What’s your favorite way to spoil your dogs?

While I pride myself on great customer service and the patience of a saint I lost my cool with a client today. Over something we have discussed many many times. I realize that I never explained the reasons why. Had she known, maybe tons of stress could have been avoided.
We always tell people we will call 15 minutes before the dogs are done. We can always give an approximate time but no day can be completely predictable when working with pets. We can’t allow people to wait inside while we finish the groom for many reasons. First and foremost when they are squirming and trying to get to you it’s just not safe for them or us. Second, we try very hard to build relationships and trust with the dogs. We want them to love and enjoy the time with us. We can’t do that if you are inside. Think of a child in class they may love and listen to the teacher but never more than the parents. Third, if it becomes a habit to arrive back early they spend the entire groom anticipating your return. They fight to watch the door, look around us at every opportunity and just have more anxiety. We love to finish the groom, get them dressed up with a bandana, fuss over them and tuck them away. Then they know any second mom/dad will be there. It’s a nice routine for them. They understand what comes next and act accordingly. Lastly if we are rushing and they are squirming the finished haircut might not look as nice. I know it’s not as important as safe and happy but at the end of the day we are groomers and we love for them to walk out showing off how amazing they look and feel.
If you have any questions on our process or handling we are more than happy to show you on a different dog but please, please, please be patient with us and give us the time to love on your pets until the groom is complete. I may tease that I’m going to steal them and run away but I promise they will always be here waiting for you with bandanas on 😀

While I would love to be “working” like this guy today that won’t be the case. I just need to decide if we should celebrate with Starbucks or pizza.

Share a pic of the pup you are celebrating with.

If anyone needs a luxurious spa facial while the pups are at spa day(or any day). Reach out to my friend Laurie owner of Bellus Tu Skin Therapy. OMG you walk out feeling so pampered and looking great. I couldn’t even begin to say what all the amazing things she does to my face but I love every minute.
