Choosing the right pet groomer is crucial for your pet’s health and happiness. Here are some key points to consider when interviewing potential groomers:

1. Lack of Industry Regulation
The pet grooming industry is largely unregulated in many areas, meaning there are no mandatory educational or licensing requirements for groomers. This lack of oversight can lead to varying levels of skill and safety. It’s essential to ask about a groomer’s training, experience, and any certifications they may hold. Look for groomers who have voluntarily pursued certification from reputable organizations, such as the National Dog Groomers Association of America (NDGAA).

2. Importance of Continuing Education
A quality groomer should be committed to ongoing education. The pet grooming industry is always evolving with new techniques, tools, and safety protocols. Continuing education helps groomers stay updated and improve their skills. Ask potential groomers about the last seminar or workshop they attended and how they keep their knowledge current.

3. Home-Based Salon vs. High-Volume Salon
The environment of a home-based salon can differ significantly from that of a high-volume salon. Home-based salons often provide a quieter, less stressful environment for pets, with more personalized attention and one-on-one care. Home-based salons often plan for more time to be spent with each pet to establish a bond based on trust and respect as well as spending more time and attention to detail during each step of the grooming process allowing for a better quality finished look. In contrast, high-volume salons typically handle multiple pets simultaneously and complete each groom with almost mechanical assembly line efficiency, this can be beneficial for families with multiple pets grooming at the same time but can also be overwhelming for some animals. High volume salons are often concerned more with the quantity of productivity than the quality of each individual service. Consider your pet’s temperament and needs when choosing between these options.

4. Importance of Coat Preparation
Proper coat preparation is vital for achieving a high-quality groom. This includes brushing out tangles and mats, bathing and conditioning thoroughly, and blow drying the coat completely before the actual grooming begins. Well-prepared coats allow for smoother cuts and a better overall finish. In and one on one home based salon you can expect each dog to receive the groomer's full attention allowing for thorough service from assessment at drop off, through bathing and coat preparation and finally to acute attention to detail in the finished groom. Ask your groomer to walk you through each step of their process to ensure they take the necessary steps for a top-notch groom.

5. Client Relations
Building strong client relationships is essential for a successful grooming experience. A quality groomer should be willing to schedule meet and greets and take the time to answer any questions you may have. They should also assess any health concerns noticed during the grooming process and communicate these to you. Establishing a good rapport and working as a team with your groomer ensures the best care for your pet. Trust and open communication are key to building lasting relationships that benefit your pet’s well-being

I guess it’s time to make this extremely difficult announcement. Last Saturday we very unexpectedly lost the inspiration for everything Iron Wolf K9 stands for. My soul dog and best friend, the incredibly special boy that started it all, Chaland's Lost Storm CAA DCAT CGCA TKI call name Styrmir crossed the rainbow bridge. It has been the hardest week of my life and will mourn and grieve him forever but I will honor him everyday by continuing his legacy and watching Iron Wolf K9 flourish under his watchful protection even if it is only in spirit now. From the day I brought him home he gave me his all. He never paused to think about himself. He never questioned my leadership. He would walk through fire to protect to me and do anything and everything I asked of him. Though I am still grieving this monumental loss, business will resume tomorrow. Thank you all for your continued loyalty and I look forward to everything Iron Wolf K9 will achieve in his honor.

Attention clients: We are experiencing a family emergency and will have to out of town longer than I expected. As of right now I will reopen Nov. 9th. If your appointment is scheduled for next week I will be reaching out to reschedule. Thank you for your understanding and continued loyalty to Iron Wolf K9.

*Attention clients*
I will be closed Oct 29- Nov 4, if you’re needing an appointment in that timeframe please send a message or call to book ASAP. I’m trying to get everyone scheduled before then so we don’t disrupt our normal schedule.

Every single dog I groom or train supports my children’s Iives in some way. Choosing to support my business means my kids can enjoy their extra curricular activities: dance, theatre, dog sports. Allowing me to care for your pets means my kids can continue to homeschool, you’re also encouraging them to pursue their goals and dreams because they see mine manifesting. Your patronage allows them to have pizza nights and ice cream trips and to go bowling and skating and to the movies. You’re teaching them work ethic and responsibility as they help in different aspects of the business. I appreciate every single client that walks through my door and the opportunity to build friendships as we chat when you drop your pet off and pick them up. Many of those friendships extend outside those simple exchanges. My children become friends with your children and build potentially lifelong friendships so thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing me to care for your pets❤️
