Happy 2 year "Gotcha Day" Stormie!!!

From feral pregnant street cat to shop cat queen and she would like to remind you to PLEASE spay and neuter your pets! Especially your cats!

Did you know an average of 900,000 cats are euthanized in shelters every year?

Did you know there are roughly 70 million feral cats in the USA?

Did you know 80% of kittens born die within their first year of life?

Did you know one female cat can produce over 100 kittens during her life?

Stormie is one of the lucky kitties who has found her forever home with us, and for only $20 I was able to get her spayed at the Bowling Green/Warren County Humane Society !!!

If you need help getting you cat/dog spayed or neutered please let me know and I can help you. ❤️

Also for today, in honor of Stormie, we will be donating all tips and spa package sales to The Dollar Club, helping animals one dollar at a time. Last year we raised $61 dollars. I'd like to shoot for $75 this year!

No matter how booked I am, no matter how exhausted I am I will always make time/space for shelter pets.

The Bowling Green/Warren County Humane Society called and said they had 2 doodles who needed help, and they weren't lying.

Sophie is a Sheepadoodle (Old English Sheepdog x Poodle) and her whole body was encased in heavy matting. I wasn't sure what kind of doodle she was until I saw those gorgeous eyes and I'd recognize a sheepdog face/eyes any day!

Her body is covered in bruises from the heavy and tight matting pulling at her skin, and I found wire wrapped around her leg but she never once argued when I was shaving her and her tail wagged the whole time. I probably removed a good 10lbs of matted and dirty hair off of her.

Oreo the 3 legged doodle. (I think aussiedoodle) was very very sweet and had some matting but not so bad I couldn't give her a proper fluffy haircut.

Whoever adopts these girls will be so lucky!

We are at the time of year where things are so insane we are running around and hardly have time to eat or cry depending on the day! Today was busy but we did manage to eat lunch and now that our day is over I can post pics from today and one from last week!

1) Luke doing what he does best, being adorable!
2) Cassie the aussie!
3) Waylon the doodle!
4) Nova the doodle from last week but she looks so good I had to post her pic!

Just a reminder that 2025 ALL dogs must maintain an 8 week or less schedule.

Not only is this mentally and emotionally beneficial for your dog but my dominate shoulder with a torn rotator cuff cannot handle the overgrowth of dogs on 9+ weeks of growth.

Thank you for your understanding!

As many of you are aware, I have restructured my business model to retain only clients who maintain a grooming schedule of 8-weeks or less.

This decision is rooted in my commitment to prioritizing the well-being of your pets as a fear-free salon. Research shows that pets who keep a consistent 8-week or less grooming schedule perceive it as a regular part of their daily routine, often enjoying the experience as much as they would a walk or any other outing.

Conversely, pets that do not have a regular grooming routine often exhibit signs of fear and stress, viewing grooming as a form of punishment.

It would be hypocritical to proudly boast about being a fear-free salon while accommodating dogs that visit only two to four times per year and are consequently fearful during their appointments.

Consistency in grooming not only alleviates anxiety and stress but can also transform the experience into a calming and enjoyable one for your pet. I engage with them using gentle touches and verbal reassurance, fostering a soothing environment that strengthens our bond and contributes to their overall happiness and well-being.

As well as can help manage shedding, reducing the hair your dog loses around your home and keeping their coat healthy and vibrant, regular grooming also is an excellent opportunity for me to inspect your dog’s skin for any issues such as rashes, dry patches, parasites, lumps, bumps, and other abnormalities. Identifying and addressing these problems early on, you can help prevent more severe health issues down the line.

As always, thank you for your continued love and loyalty and choosing me to be your pets groomer.

Much love ❤️ ~ Laska
