Good morning everyone,

I wanted to make a post regarding the current wait time for appointments. I am taking time off in September & October and that has caused a longer wait time. In the past I would have made room, however this time, I’m sticking to my scheduled time off. At the moment I am booking 11 weeks out. That means dogs will have to wait about an extra 3 weeks for their regular grooming. I do apologize, as I do like to see dogs groomed on their regular schedule. This is not caused by taking new clientele, as I have not taken a new clients for about a year now. It is simply due to the time off that I’m taking. I hope that you can understand and please feel free to reach out to me if you would like to book your dog in for the rest of the year. I am NOT booking for 2027 as of yet. Thank you 🐶

currently booking for mid-November

Let them sniff 🐶

Research confirms that allowing your dog to engage their sense of smell is essential for their mental and emotional health. Because dogs process the world primarily through scent—dedicating roughly 40 more times brain power to smell than humans do—sniffing act as a high-intensity mental workout. Studies suggest that just 20 minutes of sniffing can provide the same level of mental stimulation as an hour of walking them.

Allowing your dog to explore new smells every day can lower the dog’s heart rate and trigger the release of dopamine, a “feel-good” hormone that promotes relaxation. Research published in Applied Animal Behavior Science found that dogs given more sniffing opportunities showed a more “optimistic” mindset in problem-solving tasks.

Scent-based activities improve focus, decision-making, and memory, which is particularly beneficial for preventing cognitive decline in senior dogs. Also, through “scent mapping” dogs organize information about their surroundings which allows them to feel safe and grounded.

This is also important for you as well because a happy dog can improve your own mental and physical health by reducing stress and anxiety, boosting mood through serotonin release, and encouraging daily physical activity like walking. Interaction with a happy dog also increased oxytocin, the “bonding hormone”—while decreasing cortisol, which lowers blood pressure and helps manage anxiety, depression and even PTSD.
