Did you know that on the 4th of July, more dogs go missing than any other day of the year?

Unfortunately, the fireworks tend to start several days before the holiday, and last several days after the holiday.

Now is the time to take precautions.

Protect your pets!

Please take additional steps to secure pets who are anxious around loud noises, especially if you will be having company in and out of your home.

If you’re traveling, ensure your pet sitter knows if your dog is prone to anxiety, and they that have your pets’ medications on hand, as well as their microchip ID, vet information, emergency contact(s), and that they know the most secure spaces for your pet(s), whether that be a crate or their own room.

If your pet is a known escape artist, purchase and activate a GPS collar TODAY.

You can never be too cautious when it comes to keeping your pet(s) safe.

It's so cool to get a new breed in the salon. Say hello to this adorable Briard puppy! At 6 months old, he worked hard to convince Alyssa he is in fact a lap dog.

We got mail ✉️✉️!
First, we are so excited to be the first AKC certified SAFE Salon in Tallahassee. The American Kennel Club created a program for salons to certify to industry standards of safety. Your pet's safety is always our top priority and we are so happy to meet the rigorous standards set out by the AKC.

And secondly, Kat's updated master groomer certificate. She has maintained certification through the National Dog Groomers Association of America for 4 years now. She had to pass 9 exams, including written and hands on tests on all breeds, as well as dog safety. We are so thankful to have such a knowledgeable groomer.

We are busy bees this spring! We are trying to be as flexible as we can, but please let us know asap if you can't make an appointment. Kat will be heading to a dog show and Canada 🇨🇦 for her birthday. We are excited for her celebration 🍾 but it does mean we are booking extra far out with limited flexibility to move appointments.
We are currently booking the week of May 13th. So thank you all for the referrals and continued support! We can't wait to see your pups!

In honor of Kat's recent trip, we thought a little breed trivia would be fun!

🇫🇷While this breed is the national dog of France, it originated in Germany. Created as a hunting dog, the French called them 'Caniche' for duck dog. 🦆 In Europe, this breed is recognized in 4 sizes although in America only 3 sizes are recognized.

Drop your guess in the comment!

We are back! 🛩
Kat has returned from a whirlwind trip through London, Paris, Venice, and Rome. She had an amazing time, but we are all so ready to see you and your pups again!

It wouldn't be normal to go on a trip without a dog, so Winston tagged along. Enjoy some pictures as well as a few dogs Kat couldn't resist snapping pictures of. It was so neat fo see some rare breeds, you may catch the PBGV (petit basset griffon vendeen) she saw in Venice.

We'll be catching up on grooms, hopefully Kat is able to get back in the swing after eating nothing but pasta for a week 😆

We're still booking a few weeks out while we catch up, so please continue booking early.

We will be closed Feb 15-26th, and shockingly not for a dog show! Kat and her husband are taking 10 days to travel to celebrate their anniversary. Moving to Florida to be with her husband was the best decision, and we're so happy she's here. We have a few appointments left before she leaves so be sure to book soon to get in. A common side effect of trips is we are extremely busy afterward, so please also keep that in mind when booking. Thanks to everyone for all their support and looking forward to a little break.

✨️2023 Stats are posted! Kat finished 2023 as the #4 sporting dog groomer in the United states!! ✨️
A huge amount of dedication goes into all these shows and Chicago was a great start to the year. No placements, but a lot of very helpful feedback to keep improving.

The reason Kat first got into competing was to learn techniques to be a better pet groomer. While not every dog gets a show trim, tricks tips and techniques from the show ring translate to better grooms in the salon. She never thought she would even compete at the level she does, much less be nationally ranked. We are all excited to see what she accomplishes this year.

A little late but a huge congratulations to Kat and Percy. Last weekend they went to Orlando and placed in the top 10 out of 35 groomers from across the country!
And the fun keeps going - we will be closed Jan 18-23 while she and Jackson head to Chicago for a big competition. We're wishing them all the luck!
Alyssa will be taking a much needed vacation so Kat is managing the phone for the next week - SORRY! 😅 She's a little out of practice so we appreciate your understanding if it takes a bit longer to reply.

See you all next week!

🥶 It's getting frosty out! Wanting to keep your pups hair longer this time of year is very common, so here's some tips to avoid matting.
❄️ Keep regular grooming appointments. Booking for a bath and brush more often keeps longer hair maintained and beautiful.
❄️ More at home maintenance. You can check out this great video for at home brushing.
❄️ Keeping difficult to brush areas short - behind the ears, belly, armpits, and bum are all easy spots to go shorter to help prevent matting

Stay warm and we look forward to seeing you soon!

✨️A friendly reminder for everyone ✨️
We are cracking down on our late and no show policies this year. If you are 15 minutes late your appointment will be canceled and you will be charged a no show fee. Our no show fee is 60% of your scheduled appointment. If you cancel within 24 hours of your appointment there is a 30% late cancelation fee. We try our best to fill any cancelations to recover the full appointment but short notice doesn't leave much opportunity. We try our best to keep our wait times for appointments as short as possible but when rescheduling no shows it very quickly extends that time. This week alone we have had 11 no shows. It really affects the business and we appreciate your support and understanding.

We look forward to seeing you at your next appointment!
