Goose and Sassy miss Bella Mae are making history with their luxurious spa days this week and a huge de-shed!!! A lot of pups are very, very hairy right now and regular maintenance of their coats is vital to a happy and healthy pup (not to mention home for yourself!!) Goose was so happy we had to force him out of the van to even be able to get his sister done! 😇🥹💕 These are some very well loved pups!

Happy Wednesday Friends!!

I see a lot of banter about reasonable grooming prices nowadays. Please remember everyone's prices are completely relative to their establishment and skill level, employee load, overhead etc. Many salons are now charging more than mobile groomers in the area. With that being said, consult with ALL options and pick what best works for YOU and YOUR PET most importantly 💞💞 Our pets are worth the best we can give them and I assure you sometimes that is not dependent upon the price and maybe other times it comes with a larger one.

Understand we are all working very, very hard in this job each day and everyone should be able to win! One happy pup at a time. Xoxo

Hello friends!! I'm back!!! Thank you for sticking with us through the craziness of my maternity leave. I will be working 2-3 days a week and my lovely assistant will be covering the other several days each week. I can't wait to see you all again ❤️

To make this post a little more special, please relish in one of my very original clients miss Izzy who was been there through it all with me. She's the absolute best!

It's been a little while since we've had a nice "Ruff" check in 🙈

We've been staying extremely busy here and wanted you to just see several other of our favorite friends 🥰

I have had inquiries still about grooming. If interested, I'm happy to keep any of you on a cancellation list!

As always, we appreciate all of you more than you know. ❤️

For most of my clients and those left I have not had the chance to tell yet, my husband and I will be expecting our second little one soon this summer sometime in June!!
We have been so grateful for all of the love and support thus far in sharing this news, but I wanted to give a few updates to what scheduling may look like shortly.

Appointments for me will be coming up more frequently at a time and I do not have the opportunity to schedule them ahead as I've tried, so that does mean some of your appointments may be affected on the day they've already been scheduled. (most commonly just pushed back that day)
For anything else that may arise or complications you all know I would do my absolute best to accommodate you, but appreciate understanding baby comes first in this time and keeping us both healthy! I have been blessed to work as normal as possible up to this point and will continue to do so

Maternity leave:
My maternity leave will be covered at least 3 days a week currently by a trusted friend who has groomed for 14 years! You all will love her and her experience if you haven't met her yet! I have made this decision as to give you the best care for your pups along with so much experience and knowledge so please bare with us in scheduling. You will all be taken care of, but appointments may have to be slightly altered during that time in order to make sure everyone is still being groomed as regularly as possible. It's possible a 4th day a week may open up with me depending on how fast I can return to work.

For any questions please feel free to reach out 🤍

Thanks and so much love to you all

Edit >> For anyone still inquiring about services as a new client I am still taking a limited amount of new clients depending on location etc. We will just have to blend you in with the same schedule everyone else may be in during the leave, but if you're willing to be patient with us in this we'd love to have you!

Penny brings her platypus for her groomings and Odin..... look at that smile and tail wag 🥹🤍

For anyone wanting quickest information on pricing

*** Base pricing *** (this means if dog was badly matted and needed additional attention or stripping of coat, costs are subject to change.... as well as if sizing is misjudged etc)

Base pricing for small breeds can be between $90-95

Medium breeds may range in the ($105-$115)

Large breed and doodles base pricing normally starts at $120 (mini doodles are different)

Anything extra large breed may be based upon judgement and seeing dog

Please know this pricing may vary based on every single dog and other things are also taken into consideration as well, but hopefully this helps as it is a good marker to start at for everyone!
Inflation is at a high so costs have changed based on the pricing of goods for new clients and some existing clients as well.

10/01/2023

Hi friends❤️ it's been awhile and we've been busy around here keeping up with the holidays and all of your marvelous pups!

For any new clients requesting information about services, please allow 24-48 hours for response time. All of my clients are on a regular, and recurring schedule so if I can fit new clients in you may be up to 6-8 weeks out if I have a gap. If you are wanting to see if I have something that same week or days, you're welcome to still inquire; however, chances are likely my days are completely full! I do keep cancellations in mind as well and they do happen on occasion so you're welcome to be added to that list too!

>> Thank you for allowing me to be a mother, wife, and also a business owner with you. You are all so wonderfully appreciated and loved!

Any clients or friends looking for that special Christmas pup?! 🥰🥰

Male Australian labradoodle is available through a wonderful client/breeder of mine!! Will be between 40-50 lbs.

For inquiries please go to www.ohiodesignerdoodles.com

A lot of my clients receive their next appointment dates by text and do not respond or confirm in groomsoft (which is totally fine if you know you're always ok with the appointments) however; if you receive an appointment from me and know you can't do it, saying that because you did not confirm it will not result in there still not being a $75 cancellation fee if canceling within 24 hours. Please understand communication is key. If you cannot do the appointment ALWAYS let me know. There is no way for me to assume you don't want an appointment if I am not notified.
Thank you in advance!!!

>>Big News!!

01/09/2022

Hello all of my wonderful clients!!

A couple more *Important* announcements..

I have been very flexible in trying to appease schedules ranging from clients wanting grooming services every 2 weeks all the way up to 8 weeks and then few at 12 weeks. A normal grooming rotation period is normally around 6 weeks! When scheduling, this can be very difficult when some clients start flooding into certain weeks heavier than others and then leaving some weeks a little more bare.(My schedule normally still fills in with waiting list etc) I am making several changes to be a little more consistent to make sure everyone is not getting moved too far outside of rotation. If you are wanting to be on a different schedule other than every 6, 8, or 12 weeks please know I will do my very best to fit you in between, but you may have to flex by a week or two just to make things run as smoothly as possible. :)
Most of the time this is not an issue, but I want to be as upfront with everyone as possible!!! I am covering four cities so it is not every day of every week that I can fit clients back in or rearrange, but I do my very BEST!!!

I have changes in my schedule as well alongside of raising a family so you know I all appreciate your flexibility with me at times as well!!

With that being said, if for any reason you are not feeling well the day before or of your appointment I am kindly asking clients make me aware before I would show up to groom your pup.I am very reasonable with Covid, but I do have a family to protect as well as myself so I can be of best service to all of your pups. We can make the best educated decision together before grooming :)

Thank you guys so VERY much

Hi friends!!! ~~ IMPORTANT~~
PLEASE READ

I have had a lot of clients texting my business phone number. For best response, please do not text it. If you would like to leave a detailed message of where you are located as well as as much information as you can give me I try to get back to everyone within a day or two! 🙂 A lot of you have my personal cell phone number and that is OK to text, but the business phone number is not meant for texting and makes it difficult for me to know or see there were messages. (419) 775• 3991 (this is business phone)

Also, in raising a family I do try to step away from business on the weekends and I ask for patience in this as I want to have the best balance in my personal and business endeavors. If you have not heard back from me on the weekend do not be alarmed! Most of the time there are not many changes to my schedule at the time.

There have been several price changes throughout the last couple of weeks. With inflation, goods and services have become more expensive so some of you may be altered a little in pricing. (This is mostly related to the larger dogs or doodles) If this personally affects you, you may already know or will be reached out too soon. If you have not heard anything do not worry about it!

For best efficiency of the van I do like to keep everyone on a regular rotation as I can easily not be able to get you back on schedule later on if not as well as i want the dogs to be comfortable with the process and well maintained for you! If you are a client of mine that would prefer to have the dog done on an irregular basis and I can fit you back in please understand that will affect pricing as more work and time will be involved. I appreciate you all so INCREDIBLY much!! ❤️❤️

These sweet pups make my job the best!!! 💕

I am currently looking to fill several spots with some clients in the Madison area and potentially Lexington/Ontario with the passing of a few of the sweetest pups I had the privilege to groom.
:: If you are interested please message me! I am looking for regular scheduled clients who are ready to book ahead after each grooming. The van is a flexible unit and so it is also helpful if your schedule allows the same flexibility as well so as to best serve you and your four-legged friends (there are many ways to go about getting to the pup) 🤍 ::

A note to all of my current clients as well.... thank you!!! Thank you for your steadfast love! In covering four cities it is imperative that I be as efficient as possible to make sure I can do the best I can to serve you and you all have been so gracious with some of the schedule changes to accommodate that! I am willing to work for you and it makes it all the sweeter when youguys are working to help me as well so THANK YOU!! It doesn't go unnoticed! 

If you feel you'd be interested and we can make it work please reach out! Limited spots!

Wanted to let everyone know my phone issue has been FIXED 🤍 you should be able to call away!!!

As for any calls I've received recently I am currently on hold with scheduling new clients unless I have cancellations or can fit you in when my regular clients are off rotation. Please know I am doing my very best to service all of you and your lovely pups! 💓

A huge THANK YOU to all of you who've been so wonderful in supporting me in this journey! Here's a sweet new pup to brighten your day 🌞

Happy Friday, friends!! Hope you've all been enjoying the wonderful weather and excuse to cozy up inside and do nothing 🥶
I wanted to personally apologize for my lack of response just this week to a few of you. I have been in quarantine from having the yucky Covid and then the weather also prohibited any grooming at the end of this week!
I am diligently working at trying to reschedule a lot of you and should be in touch as soon as possible. If you are a new client, please know you may be a bit out in getting on schedule but I will do my best to fit you all in too, accordingly! ♥️

How about these two cuties?! Two of my my most favorite girls 💕

Hello to you all 🤍
Wanted to explain several things regarding pricing changes for mobile unit! I felt it better to explain some reasonings for the price adjustment in the van and exactly WHY this is an exceptional service brought to you!

These vans are extensive in the way they work. They run off of diesel fuel as well as are powered by an inverter and generator all which use either the diesel during nearly half or sometimes the full groom and electric all day at the end of the night being plugged in to recharge the inverter as well as continual propane at night! They use propane to heat the water and the van (which in the winter requires being refilled sometimes every other day😜)
These vans are filled with my high end shampoos and products specified to give you the best service and extend the life of your dogs coat even if it's matted!!!
The vans have multiple dryers and most wonderful of all, a clipper vac system. The clipper vac system is a game changer as it attaches to the clippers and lifts each hair at the same length to create a sufficient and refined look to any dog that comes into the van!
Lastly, I feel confident my time and experience in the grooming field is an exceptional service to you and your pet. My care and love for them will not go unnoticed which can be priceless within itself 🥰
These vans are serviced very regularly(every other month) to also provide the best maintenance and service to you all 🦮🐕‍🦺🐩

I have acquired so many WONDERFUL clients in this mobile unit already as well as some original clients from the van.

I look forward to seeing you all in this transition and am excited to have any more of you join me in this wonderful new adventure ✨
