Why did the dog bring a vacuum cleaner to the park?
Because he was shedding all over the place!

It's warming up outside, the birds are singing and the grass is getting greener but you're stuck inside vacuuming!
Can't figure out how they manage to lose so much hair and not be bald??

If you have a dog you've been told that regular grooming is important, but you might not know WHY!

You wouldn't wait weeks between bathing to take care of your own hygiene needs, why wait so long for your furry friend? Having a well groomed, beautifully smelling bestie is great for both you AND them! While bathing and brushing them is a great bonding exercise sometimes the hair just gets out of hand.

And thats OK! I'm here to help.

Call or text to book or to get more information and come see us out in beautiful Alix, AB!

Alix Home Hardware greeter, Buddy, came to visit me today for a little freshening up then proceeded to fall asleep on my lap.

I opened my little shop last year in April and Alix Home Hardware made the challenges of opening a small business so much easier by having a wide variety of goods available and great advice when I needed it.

It's been a heck of a week so far and it's only Monday! But I encourage everyone to shop locally at the many businesses we have around this area and to buy Canadian whenever possible!

Thanks again for trusting me with your sweet greeters, guys.
