So true, your fur babies become ours when we see them as often as we do. From one groomer to another, my heart goes out to what she's going through. ❤️

A true problem in the pet world, when your focus is animals and not people! I have been sick and trying to focus on improving. I hope this post finds everyone in fantastic health and cuddling their fluffy babies🥰

Ok, who says cats and dogs can't be friends? This bring so much joy to my heart and soul. The very definition of family🥰

How has your pet trained you? Mine has me trained to give him a bite of every item on my plate😅 How many can say their cat likes BRC burritos, brussel sprouts and broccoli though, even cheetos and doritos he is like a second child, if I'm eating it, he wants some! 😂

Our pets make our lives 100% more entertaining, there’s no question about that. From iguanas to fish, to the more common cats and dogs, people love their pets. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, about 57% of American households have at least one pet under their roof. We don....

"My pet has fleas and my groomer is booked for days, weeks, maybe months. Now what?"
First off, this should always be one of your first steps because it places your pets well-being first and reduces the spread of fleas to other homes/pets. Capstar is an oral medicine that you can give to your pet, even if they are already on a flea and tick medicine. It's intended in case of an emergency and works for 24hrs, but super effective in the beginning to make your pet and home flea-free again. You can also pick it up at places like Wal-Mart, which you can generally find all over the place these days. Fleas have a 2 week life cycle, if they are in your home and/or pet, generally treating bedding, carpets, toys, yard, everything, should be done diligently for 6 weeks to ensure any eggs or larvae that may have escaped the initial cleaning are killed before they can continue the cycle and spread. As a groomer and pet owner, I like natural flea deterrents around my home year-round as pests will hitch a ride on people to get to their next meal or even hop the fence between neighbors. Grow catnip, peppermint, rosemary, lemons and lemongrass. Lavender is also great as a deterrent. Using any of these scents in an essential oil diffuser or mixing them into a spritz for your hair is another way to protect yourself or your pet.
I had a client call exasperated because she even tried washing her dog in Dawn and it still had fleas. Dawn is great in an emergency, but shouldn't replace actual pet shampoos and do not use often or regularly because it will dry out your pet's skin and possibly lead to new issues. The reason you find it recommended for flea treatment is because it can work in a pinch. To have it work though, lather it into your pet's coat, avoiding eyes, nose and mouth and let it sit for at least 10 mins before rinsing your pet. At this time, you can then use a fine tooth flea comb to run through the coat and pick out the dead fleas, rinse off the comb in a tub of hot water and let them drown if any are still moving.

How many feel the same about their fluffy companions as well? I love this little guy so very much even when he's trying to re-adjust on my face in the middle of the night😅🤣

Aww, this puppy needs a new home. Is anyone looking for a German Shepard?

Hope everyone is having a happy and safe 4th of July!

The 2 pics with me wearing the black smock are from 12 years ago when I was a "baby groomer" of just 5 years! Even after 17 years of sticking with it, grooming still has so much more to teach me and so many more wonderful pups and their families to meet. This pic with Thor next to the drawing I made back in high school, almost 2 decades before I ever met him will always have a close place in my heart as do all the puppies I have met and look forward to meeting♡ Have a great day and hey, the weekend is almost upon us!🤗
stay sweet, dear girl😘

Had a 17yo, white toy poodle in today and a pup named Ziggy. I spent today feeling so nostalgic and mournful recalling you, Ziggy boy. I hope you're having a great time over that rainbow bridge, you were such a sweetheart all the way to your last groom. Until you're reunited with your family again, we miss you over here♡

Your pet's health and well-being matters to us. Flea and tick season is upon us again. Please, look into preventatives. They are much easier to keep away than to get rid of once they've become a part of your home. They also don't hold themselves to only feasting on your pets and visiting furbabies. While not the preferred meals, people, like yourselves, can also become their next meal. &tickprevention

Nope, no blow dryer needed, haha. I dub them "Action ears!"
