I don't often jump my business on board with things like this, but I feel it's important to share when I read misinformation in regards to dogs health and safety.

Even if a dog is vaccinated, it is not "extremely rare" for them to pick up a virus they have been vaccinated for. I spent years working at the city shelter here as well as working years with a vaccination clinic around salt lake and I can tell you, vaccinated dogs can still get sick. Certain dogs may be more vulnerable due to a variety of immune related issues.

If you have any questions or concerns in regards to parvo or any canine virus please contact your vet. I would love to share more but I am not a vet or here to give medical advice.

I personally already have my puppy extra vaccinated, opting to do boosters a week early and will be doing 4 sets opposed to 3 since we have extra exposure to lots of dogs being in this business.

Dog parks can be great for excersize and socializing however I personally do not visit dog parks for a multitude of reasons. My dogs get walks and they get to socialize here since I own my own entire pack of dogs.

What an accomplishment for our small shelter! I know their staff has been putting in a ton of work for this.

📣 We have a BIG announcement to make. 📣

The City of Elko Animal Shelter is incredibly proud to announce that, for the first time in our history, we have achieved a save rate for our animals to be considered “No-Kill”!

What does that mean? “No-Kill” (as defined by Best Friends Animal Society), means that no less than 90% of the animals who entered the shelter in the past 12 months have found happy homes, been reunited with their families, or been saved by one of our amazing rescue partners. It means that any animal whowas healthy and treatable was given the opportunity to live a full and happy life. It also means that the only time humane euthanasia occurred was when it was the absolute last option available. That means that in the last 12 months, 1,837 animals entered the shelter and 1,679 were saved; a 91% save rate!

Operating as an “Open Admission” shelter means we don’t say “no” when an animal is brought to us. We may provide resources, give alternatives, and do whatever we can to keep that pet in the home, but we are the last resort and always there if needed. Being “Open Admission” makes this an even bigger accomplishment for us.

To be clear, we are not sharing this accomplishment just as the staff of the Elko Animal Shelter. We are sharing this accomplishment because YOU are part of the reason we got here. For an animal shelter like ours to be successful, it’s not just because of the hard work of our staff or the dedication of rescues; it’s because we understand and fully believe lifesaving is a community effort. Every member of our community plays a role in our success and impacts saving lives.
• If you are an adopter, foster, volunteer, and/or donor, you have helped save a life.
• If you are a pet owner who struggled to keep your pet and took the time to find a new loving home for them instead of bringing them to the shelter, you potentially saved the life of not just your own animal, but helped make sure we had the space for an animal who was abandoned or lost.
• If you spayed or neutered your pet to make sure there were no accidental litters.
• Or if you took part in any other program or alternative that meant every space in our shelter was filled only by the animals who truly had no other choice, you saved a life.

Going into 2025, we aim to make this level of lifesaving the standard for Elko! It’s what our staff have always wanted and we believe our community deserves. That means that we will continue to work towards implementing programming that would be considered “Best Practices” in Animal Welfare. We will continue to build partnerships with both local and national organizations. Most importantly, we will continue to care. ❤️

We can’t do it on our own though, so please, help us continue this amazing progress in any way you can. To learn more on how you can support the Elko Animal Shelter or to find your new best friend, please visit our department’s site here:

I offer transparent pricing and have prices posted here as well as in my shop.

Charges vary depending on coat condition and the amount of time and products used to complete a groom.

Specific prices are notated to each customers file.

My prices have been selected by comparing national averages, as well as to other shops in our area.
Groomers in our area are actually LOWER than MOST national averages.

I do generally charge above local averages on dogs over 80lbs

💙Tips are very appreciated but not expected💙

Reminder; I will not schedule your dogs if you have any unpaid invoices.

You will likely see our new baby Sasha when you bring your dogs in. Feel free to say hi to her, we want her to have plenty of early socialization ❤️

It's been 2 years since I've updated my pricing because I really haven't wanted to.
I think it's insane how much everything is going up. That being said I do want to give a heads up here that I will likely be having to raise my prices come January.
Thank you all for understanding and your support. ❤️ love to you all and your pups

🎃🎃Seasonal Shampoo🎃🎃
◇$5 add on
◇FREE for all customers who are on an every 6 week or more regular appoinment
(Just ordered so should be here around the end of the week)

I'm going to remain closed tomorrow.

09/13/2024

Me and my son have been hit with a bug.
Will be closed today.
My apologies

If an appointment is not cancelled at least 24 hours in advance, you will be charged 50% of the total services you had scheduled. This fee must be paid on the day of their missed appoinment and before another appointment is made. This payment can be made by venmo or by phone.

When you don't come in to your appoinment, especially when you have multiple dogs coming at the same time, it wastes hours of my time and prevents others from getting their dogs in.

Multiple no shows or late cancellations will result in a required non refundable prepayment of services in order to have your dogs scheduled.

Any dogs arriving more than 10 minutes late may be considered a no show so please arrive on time or even 10 minutes early is great with me!

I do sometimes have flexibility and of course I will always try and go the extra mile to make accommodations and be understanding as I get how life can be while at the same time I do have to watch out for my business as well!

Thank you

09/07/2024

Text 775-385-3394 for an appoinment

Let's be prepared in case of an overnight emergency.

I have used the airvet app and I think the exam was 50$. Unfortunately the connection was awful for a video call but I was still able to use the chat feature.
I'm hoping we get more vets out here or some that are able to work over nights. 🙏

***I will require all dogs are picked up promptly from their appoinments please***

08/27/2024

Trying to figure out my schedule now that my son has started full day kindergarten. For now I will be out of shop between 3:40 and 4:00 to pick him up. I may end up just starting to close at 3:30 in the near future..

I do have a camera in the shop and AC control from my phone to check on things while I'm waiting at school, however if you have an afternoon appointment and have an issue with me leaving your dog unattended for up to 20 minutes please let me know and we can reschedule you!
