Good morning!
Thank you for your patience as we sort out our summer schedule. We will be contacting everybody in the next few days to book your summer appointments.

Please note: we are taking some time off in May and might not be able to get you on your regular schedule. We are doing our best to accommodate all our clients to ensure your pets continue to get the amazing care they deserve.
Thank you

Do you have questions about how to maintain your dogs' coat at home in between appointments? Would you attend a workshop offered in Angus (date TBD) that would include learning how to use the correct tools (and take them home with you)?

Please fill out the attached survey and help us, help you gain that knowledge!

Fun Fact Friday:

Did you know? that the Kong dog toy started out as part of a hard rubber rear suspension bump stop for a Volkswagen Bus?
Joe Markham invented the Kong in the mid-1970s when he tried to distract his German Shepherd, Fritz, from chewing rocks and threw him some left over rubber parts from a VW bus he was working on.
The picture is not a Kong -- it's a rear bump stop from a 1964-1979 VW Bus.

Fun Fact Friday:

Did you know that Northen breeds, AKA "Primitive breeds" (Siberian husky, malamute, samoyed, etc) have a TRIPLE coat! They have guard hairs, a thick undercoat and a 2nd undercoat that lays very close to the skin, making it next to impossible to see through. This is to keep them extra insulated in the harsh winters of the north.

Did you know: Rabies vaccinations are legally required in Ontario for cats and dogs, whether indoors or outdoors.

As of April 15th, we will be requiring a VALID rabies certificate on file for your dog to comply with provincial law. We will be sending everybody a form to fill out and return with all the required information. If your pet can NOT have vaccines for any reason (medical), a vet letter is required.

Please understand that this is for the well-being of all pets, whether in my care or not. Thank you for your understanding.

How pets get rabies, what do to if your pet is exposed and what you need to know about the rabies vaccine and travelling to the United States with your pet.

Some of you may have seen the "trend" going around of groomers aiming the dryer nozzle directly at a dog's face to the sound of an Eminem song. Although they might find it funny, rest assured at Wag in Style, this is NOT how we treat your pets. The actions in those videos are not cute or funny, those pets are already stressed about the blow dryer and being tormented even more for views, likes and shares. While we may post pictures or videos of your pets while in the salon, it is for education purposes and not to go viral at the expense of stressing out your pets.

I care about all my clients like they were my own, and my goal while they are here is their comfort and safety first and foremost. I love seeing their wagging tails and smiling faces when they arrive and would be doing them a disservice if I were to behave the way those groomers are. I build a trusting relationship with not only the dogs I work with, but with YOU, their owners.

With that being said, please know I would NEVER put any of your amazing pets in any stressful situation to go viral.

If you have any comments/concerns/questions, please feel free to reach out.

For our first Fun Fact, here is an easy way to find out if your pet is over or underweight.

*If you have any concerns regarding your pets overall health, please consult your veterinarian.
