Look at this handsome Dude!
Bubba was really very good this morning- especially for being so young! And it was his first time at the groomers! His Mom should be very proud!

Meet Our Groomers!
Today we’d like to highlight Olivia. She came to us a few years ago as a newer groomer who graduated from the San Diego Grooming Academy. Over the years she quickly became proficient doing cute haircuts. She enjoys deshedding and tidying up Golden Retrievers and Australian Shepherds. She has an eye for detail and has become one of our groomers that is frequently requested by our clientele.

There’s a new canine respiratory illness.

Here’s what we know:
It’s unknown if it is viral or bacterial. Its symptoms include coughing, sneezing, red/runny eyes or runny nose.
Our shop has had no occurrences of dogs getting sick.

What we’re doing about it:
We are pre-screening all dogs for symptoms.We have stepped up the cleaning and disinfecting protocols between each and every dog. We’re asking that dogs are picked up ASAP to minimize how long they are here. As we have done since Covid, we use powerful ceiling vent fans to constantly pull fresh air into the salon. The dogs are never in direct contact with each other unless they are members of the same household.

What you can do:
No need to panic, but it’s good to be mindful. At this time it’s recommended to avoid dog parks/beach, boarding facilities and community water bowls.
It is advised that your pet is up to date with vaccines per your veterinarian’s recommendation.
If your pet is showing symptoms, please do not bring them in for grooming and consult your vet right away.

This outbreak comes at a particularly bad time of year as many pet owners want grooming before Christmas. It is not our intention to alarm anyone. We want to let everyone know that we are meeting this challenge head-on and we are doing everything we can to protect the beloved dogs of our clients.

We are constantly researching the latest information available. If you’d like updates please email or text us and provide your name and email address.

Meet Our Groomers! This is Lucy and her little dog Ellie. Lucy has been with us for two years. In her words: “I love working on big fluffy dogs; Aussies, Huskies, Samoyeds, Goldens, Doodles - I love them all. If I’m not covered in dog hair, I’m not doing it right!”

Meet Our Groomers!
Today’s highlighted groomer is Sunny. Sunny came to us in 2014 at an entry level position. She climbed the ranks learning first how to bathe and handle pets and then full on pet styling. Now, her specialty is taking care of geriatric pups that need extra time, love and patience. As a stylist that has been employed here the longest, she is a popular request and is often booked far in advance. She has an AKC S.A.F.E. (Safety, Assurance, Fundamentals, Education) certificate, and has also been certified in animal first aid.

We had a fun weekend of learning and shopping at the Groom Expo in Pasadena! This is our annual educational convention and trade show where we learn about safety and handling, skin and coat care, haircut tricks and tips (the instructors are leaders in the industry) and we can look, touch and shop for new products on the market. We can network with other professionals and meet fun dogs!
Thanks to our team for attending! It means a lot to us that you too value education!!
