Mutt'Stache's Mobile Grooming

01/07/2024

The Fourth of July can be a stressful time for dogs and owners alike. Here are some annual tips for the doggos that make our lives better.

1. Make sure all tags are up to date.
This also would include microchips as well. If your pup decides to run away you want to be able to have him/her easily identifiable so keeping up to date on all tags is an important step.

2. Notice when too much is too much.
Fireworks are a way to celebrate, however it might not be too much of a celebration for your best friend. Notice when your dog is panting too much, hiding or whimpering. You may need to grab a blanket, some extra medication and find a room where you can turn on some relaxing music.

3. Remind your guests to keep doors closed.
Your pup may try to escape looking for some where to go where the noise isn't as loud so keeping your guests informed that you do have an anxious pup inside is important.

4. Take them on a long walk prior to the evening celebration.
Allow your dog to run, chase a ball, go swimming or bring them HERE so they can get some energy out. This will help in relaxing at the end of the evening.

5. Create a safe space.
Fluffing up the crate or bathroom is a great way to give your dog a safe space to be when and if anxiety hits at any point in time. Put all of their favorite stuff in the room or crate with them including a shirt that smells like you.

We are here to support the positive mental health of the dogs that complete our lives. Let's have a wonderful and safe July 4th!

🚨🚨ATTN clients who live in the 80921 zip code near Voyager&Ridgeline Road/possibly Flying Horse area🚨🚨

Coco is a current client and is a darling 18 year old toy poodle who is white and light brown/tan. Her momma messaged me this morning to let me know she has been missing since Thursday but was spotted yesterday around 1130 near Leaping Lizard Park. Please help keep an eye out for this sweet girl. She can be very shy but is very sweet. If you see her, please call me at 719-482-6007 and I can forward it to her very worried family. 🤞🏻

We are LOVING these complementary holiday photos for our clients between now and Christmas! 😍

We have less than a handful of open appointments between now and Christmas(at the time of this post there are four) and have a running waitlist for clients who need availability outside of what is currently available for their area. To join the waitlist or snag one of our last appointments, call us at 719-482-6007.

Tell your dog we said “Hi!” 🐾

🚨‼️**RESPIRATORY ILLNESS POST**‼️🚨

These past couple of weeks we have had several clients reach out to see what we thought/knew of this mystery respiratory illness that has popped up in our canine companions. I wanted to try to gather a little more information before making a public post to share.

As most of us know at this point, there is a respiratory illness making its way around dogs across the country. This is not isolated to our area. While the illness is just making its debut on the media headlines, it is reported to have been in circulation for the majority of atleast this last year.

I have been in contact with a couple of our local vets to help keep as up to date as possible with need to know information and continue to learn how I can best help to keep my clients safe during their grooming visits. We are doing our part to keep tools and surfaces sanitized and disinfected between pets as well as requiring anyone exhibiting any signs of illness to postpone their visit with Mutt’Staches.

This morning I came across this post from an out of state vet clinic and I really appreciated his two videos he had on this illness(if you have 10 or so minutes, take a peek). In short, the message was “take precautions and be aware as this is a valid concern, but know there has been a bit of media fear mongering”. I did save this clip that pertained to grooming to share with this post to hopefully help put some minds at ease. I will also try to attach the links for the full videos in the comments for those of you interested in those.

Rest assured, Mutt’Staches has your pets health and well being as a top priority. 💛🐾

Happy Small Business Saturday!

As a small business, I cannot express how much your support means to me, my family, my employee and her family. It is because of you that we get to wake up and do what we love every day.

Many of my clients, friends and family members are also small business owners. I would like to invite you to share your favorite small business to this post in support of Small Business Saturday. I encourage each of you to consider making atleast one of your holiday purchases this season through a locally owned business.

Whether you are a current/past client or just a follower of the page, please feel free to share your small business on this post! I know several of you own beauty salons, mechanic shops, vet clinics, plumbing businesses, clothing stores, lash studios and many more.

Even if you do not personally own a small business, please share one of your favorites!

Ill go first and tag my cousin’s boutique in downtown Colorado Springs, Terra Verde Boutique.

Wishing you all a day full of reflective gratitude and time spent with those we cherish most(even if they only have four legs).

Happy Thanksgiving from Mutt’Staches! I, for one, am so thankful that you are here. 💛

Here’s a fun throwback that brings me so much joy that I have to share it every year! One of my creative grooms was featured on the local news and it will forever be a personal highlight for me! 🥰

Aloha!

Mutt’Staches will be closed 9/16/23-10/1/23 while I run off to Hawai’i to celebrate my 20th anniversary with my better half 🥰🥳. I will be checking voicemails and messages periodically but I appreciate your patience in response times while we are away.

I will be taking some time while we are here to work on my October, November and December schedules. If you do not yet have set dates for those months and would like to secure a holiday appointment, please leave a voicemail or send a text to 719-482-6007. I have been scheduling holiday appts since early August and space will be very limited this year. The further ahead we can plan, the better!

Thank you all again for your patience while I play hooky at the beach for such an extended period of time! I appreciate you and will see you in October! 💛

I am pretty fortunate that I get to celebrate my love of dogs every day. However, according to the internet, today is officially !

Whether you are a past/present/future client or just a follower of the page, share a photo of your pet in the comments!

I’ll go first! 💛🐾

🥳 Big news! 🥳

The scheduling system that we use works hard to help us groomers provide the best service to our clients! This week they announced that they were launching a new feature…. Digital report cards!

How snazzy are these?! I’m still working on fine tuning them to my liking but these will be a great way to recap Fido’s spa day and make note of anything that may be concerning (I.e. new lumps and bumps, dry skin, broken nail, any ear issues, etc. etc.).

These will be especially handy for clients who utilize latch key services and are not home to chit chat about their pet’s visit.

I should have them dialed in and hopefully rolling out some time this week!

Some of you may have asked at one time or another, “Why is Mutt’Staches so expensive?” or what makes us worth it?

While I have been grooming in the industry since 2006, 12 years ago I attended my very first continued education seminar. I was instantly hooked! Ever since then, I have traveled the country every year to attend grooming expos and seminars. These continued education classes cover everything from sanitation, to business specific classes, to CPR/basic first aid classes for pets, to specialized handling for nervous or geriatric pets, to equipment, to individual classes specializing in specific breeds, and over all keeping up to date with the latest techniques and tools of my trade.

If you spend 20 years doing the same haircut that you produced in your first year without learning refined skills and techniques, how much experience is truly packed into those years of experience…? And this is why it’s so important to me to continue to invest in myself and my business so that I can provide the very best service and care for my clients, each and every time.

This year Colorado finally hosted an expo for the first time in over 10 years and it was great being able to continue to further my education(I will never stop wanting to continue learning about my trade and pet care passion!) and catch up with some other local groomer friends. I thought I would share some behind the scenes photos of what a grooming competition looks like, some of the pets used in the competitions, some of the grooming demonstrations and photos of the class schedules to see what we were up to this weekend.

🐇🐣Happy Easter! 🐣🐇

I know things have been pretty quiet on this page since the holidays! We have had so much going on behind the scenes and I have all of you to thank! I wanted to give you all a sneak peek at one of those things that has been keeping me so busy…

May I introduce you to our SECOND unit?! That’s right! Van number two has been out and about for the last month or so and will be getting her official makeover in early April! Some of you have already met our new groomer who came on board and I’ll be making a post formally introducing her in the near future.

I had stopped accepting new clients at the tail end of last year and now that we have brought another set of hands on board, we are temporarily accepting new clients again! Please help us spread the word with your friends, family and neighbors. 💛

Thank you all again for all of your support! I so very much appreciate each and every one of you. It’s because of you that we get to wake up and do what we love every. single. day. 🐶

😍Van #1 and Van #2 🥰

This tree stand is usually where I set up my Christmas village…. This year the shelves are filled with treats, cards and home baked goodies from all of you. This year I have dubbed this my “Gratitude Tree”! I don’t even really have the words to express how full my heart is; so I’ll keep it simple: Thank you to each of you for supporting my dreams, my small business and for trusting me to care for your pets this year! I’ve truly enjoyed getting to know you and your pets.

I will be closed 12/24-1/1 so in the meantime, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy(and safe) New Year! 💕💕
