This past weekend was the MASSIVE Groom Expo at Hershey Lodge!! I went with Stacey from Stacey's Styling Pets LLC and we had quite the haul!! We also ran into the crew from Jan's Paws-N-Claws while we were there and got to have lunch with Courtney from Classy Canines Pet Styling. We saw some amazingly talented groomers on stage and got plenty of new tools and products and of course visited Hershey's Chocolate World after our big day of shopping. It was a great Saturday and I’m so excited to use all of my new stuff to pamper your pups!! 🖤😍🐶🐩🐕🐾😍🖤

I have had some concerns brought to my attention about an event that I chose to share here that is to benefit four footed friends. Apparently it is highly controversial to some people. After being shown numerous articles with false information and some that were very clearly made just to play on peoples emotions, I decided I needed to speak up.

I understand having a fearful dog. I understand having an aggressive dog, because I spent eight years learning all I could from my Great Dane, Guinness. He was my heart dog. He was reactive to damn near everything. He is the reason I specialize in rehabilitating, fearful, and aggressive dogs for the grooming process. I learned so much about handling and helping fearful and reactive dogs because of him. I don’t use muzzles because I don’t have to. A big part of teaching fearful dogs is showing them that they can trust you even when scary things are happening. The only way to do that is to expose them to the things that they fear, and there is a way to do that safely for them.

Exposure training is incredibly important. It is best when you can start it from them being a puppy but not everyone has that opportunity. If you try to avoid every single thing that triggers your dog you are doing them a great disservice. We can not expect the entire world around us to stay still and stay silent. We must train and prepare our pups for the world we live in. Cherryhill Canine LLC will be at barks and brews, I highly recommend asking about classes if your pup is fearful.

As far as hearing health, the music levels at a small concert outdoors like what’s happening at Barks and Brews is nowhere near the level you would find at a big name rock concert. It is true that dogs hearing is better than ours so noises that are too loud for us were already too loud for dogs. I have linked below a scientific study that shows safe sounds for dogs are about 20 decibels lower than that of humans. A major factor in ear health and noises is not just intensity but the duration. As stated in the article “you can listen to sounds of 85 dB for up to 8 hours before damage begins to appear.” So for a dog 8 hours of 65 dB.

If you have a dog that is not fearful of people and loves socializing Barks and Brews is a great event to take them to. Obviously if you have a fearful pup they can stay home and you can come out to support a great shelter.

Sound intensity that causes damage to the ear is lower for dogs than for humans.

There’s a new one-on-one grooming salon in Black Lick!! 😍 currently taking small, medium, and large (but not too large) breeds. They’re hoping to have a setup to be accepting large and giant breeds by May. I’m currently mostly booked for the year. I only have a handful of openings available, so please contact Suds & Styles if your pup is needing groomed! 😊

Good afternoon everyone! I hope you’re all enjoying your first weekend of fall!! 🍁🎃🍂 I just wanted to make an official post to let everyone know that there has been a price increase. I’ve been trying to talk to everyone one-on-one to let them know so many of you have probably already been made aware. But if there’s anyone I haven’t remembered to mention it to, this will be my public statement.

I updated my prices through online booking around mid July so anyone that’s booked online since then has already seen the new prices when booking.

If you have any questions about what your price will be going forward, like I said my prices in the booking site are current so you can check them there, or you can text or message me and I’ll let you know. I’ll be out of the salon for the rest of today and tomorrow so if you message me over the weekend I will get back to you first thing Monday morning.

If you’re appointments are prebooked then I’ll be going through all of my appointmnets starting at October 22 and I will be updating each appointment one by one so you should automatically receive a text or email if you’re signed up for the reminders as to what your new price will be.

Thank you all so much for your continued patronage. I appreciate you more then you’ll ever know.

Please be sure to give yourself extra travel time when coming to your appointments. 🖤🐶🐾

Good morning everyone!! I know recently it has been taking longer for me to return calls and texts, I am currently booked out to the beginning of October, my schedule is packed full. I know this can be a huge inconvenience when it comes to getting your pup groomed in a timely manner but I am just a one person shop so unfortunately there’s not much I can do about it. However I wanted to let everyone know my good friend Stacey, whom I have spent my entire career working alongside, has opened up a salon from her house just like mine. She’ll be doing one on one grooming just like I do. She is a kind, talented, and patient groomer and I am so excited for her. Many of you may have met her at my salon as she’s been grooming her own clients here on weekends while she was in the process of building her salon. I highly recommend her, and we have a great working relationship so please do not feel like I will be upset if you need to contact her or another groomer if my schedule is too full for you to get in when you need to. Her page is linked below. Happy Monday everyone!! 🐾 🐶 🖤

Good afternoon!! I hope you’ve been enjoying the snow as much as we have! As many of you may know my family and I all had covid for the last two weeks. We’re all doing well and out of quarantine now. Due to this I’ve had to push back all of the appointments that were scheduled so right now my schedule is full until about mid/late February.

For those of you that aren’t pre-scheduled I highly recommend calling to schedule your appointments about 3-4 weeks before your pup needs in.

I had online booking blocked off while I was moving around my appointments from my quarantine weeks but it is back up now and available for you to book.

I believe I’ve got everyone rescheduled. If you haven’t received any contact from me regarding your appointment please reach out right away. It’s possible I may have missed some of you in the craziness of it all.

And lastly but certainly not least, thank you all so much for your continued support. Over the holidays, into the new year, and during my covid quarantine it was so abundantly clear how truly lucky I am to have the most amazing clientele. I get to spend my days pampering your pups and loving on them and it just brings me so much joy. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and stay healthy in the new year!

It has been almost a year since Facebook has allowed me to post anything on my business page, and what a wild year it has been. I was just informed that I can finally post again!! So I just wanted to say thank you all so much. It’s been 2 years now since my grand opening and I could not be happier!! Thank you so much for allowing me to spend every day doing what I absolutely love to support my family. Your pups and you all mean the world to me.
