Grooms to go

01/07/2024

From nails only to baths, de-sheds, cute & comfy clipping to full grooming & styling we do our best to make your dog look and feel their best!

We do most of our grooming by appointment to ensure your dog is groomed in an appropriate time frame for your dogs size, coat, condition, temperament, etc.

Once all of Paula's & Samantha's appointments are filled for the day ~ We will schedule some dogs as work - ins. These spots are for owners & dogs who do not mind being at the shop from 10-5 and someone other than Paula grooming them.

Only if our time permits do we accept walk- ins until 1 pm Monday - Friday.

We are no longer accepting dogs on Saturdays.

Please call 229-421-4102 to schedule a spa day for your fur baby ❤️

If anyone is interested Samantha has availability tomorrow and Friday for a few baths, and de- sheds. Please call 229-421-4102 or stop in before 1 pm. Availability is first come first served. Thanks for sharing!!

If your like me, you want the best for your animals. Recently I was given an opportunity to try pawTree foods, supplements and products! I am hooked! I love this company and what it has done for my dogs so much, I decided to become an independent petPro!

Please visit my site, take the time to do the pet profile, ask me how nutrition has played a huge part in helping my animals live their best life!

I have been steadily working on transitioning our schedule to accommodate my need to slow down to be available for family.

We will continue to groom by appointment, scheduled work ins, and if we have the time walk ins will be accepted until 1pm.

Please understand there will be a time your dogs stay will need to be extended, shortened, or possibly rescheduled

We have done our best to hire another person to groom over the last few years but unfortunately none have stayed.

We have decided to stop looking to hire and concentrate on what Samantha and I can handle on our own with the added help of my hubby Larry.

Please be patient with us as we work with animals. Animals are unpredictable, make messes, or just need a break as well as the staff. We do all we can to be sure the the shop is clean, sanitized, the dogs are cared for & handled safety, and our staff is properly cared for too. We need to be able to take a break, eat lunch, and leave at closing time.

We have been overwhelmed with, calls, texts and stopping by during business hours checking on the status of dogs. This takes valuable time away from our daily tasks and grooming.

We do our best to give everyone who has an appointment with Paula an estimate time for pick up and if you are scheduled with Samantha or Bonnie as a work in you can expect your dog to be here from 10 am to 5 pm.

Express grooming is available for an additional fee and you must prebook with Paula as an express groom.

WE WILL TEXT YOU A TOTAL & A PICK UP TIME WHEN YOUR DOG IS READY TO GO HOME

Thanks for your cooperation, understanding, and patience.

We will be in the shop next week regular hours. Samantha and Bonnie have a few openings for baths, nails, shaves,and simple Grooms. For more information or to schedule a spa day for your dog please call 229-421-4102.

Enjoy the peek of the week!

"He's afraid of X, so he must have been abused by/with X."

In rescue, a lot of dogs come into care with unknown histories. Many of these dogs present with specific or generalized fear and anxiety.

It can be easy - so, SO easy - to attach a story to their behaviour. In fact, it's becoming increasingly common for people to adopt dogs BECAUSE of their story. The more tragic, the better.

The problem with this is that it tends to freeze dogs into their neuroses. Their owner becomes so attached to the story, so emotionally invested, that they themselves cannot move past it. When the owner gets stuck, so does the dog.

Then the story becomes an excuse.

He's aggressive to the postman because one must have abused him.

He's leash reactive to other dogs because he was a 'bait dog'.

He runs from us when we grab the fly swat because someone has hit him with it.

In most cases, these behaviours are caused from a lack of experience in the critical period of socialization. Their inexperience can present itself as fear, anxiety, stress and aggression; mechanisms they develop over time to cope.

But what exactly caused their rescued dogs behaviour is irrelevant. It's a fools errand to try to figure it out; an addictive oxytocin-fueled quest to justify a lack of action.

He's afraid of men? Make men = good things. He runs from the fly swatter? Pick the damn thing up and throw the dog a handful of steak a few times. See what happens.

When we adopt a dog, we're making a commitment to BETTER their life. Holding on to their past is doing the opposite. Show them they're in a better place by overcoming their problems, not nurturing them.
