To my amazing and valued clients :

I want to share that due to ongoing health struggles, I'll be cutting back my schedule and availability slightly. This change is necessary so I can focus on my wellbeing and continue to offer the best care I can to your special family members. I want to be able to continue in this career while I navigate this new chapter of my life. I am going to be okay I just need to make sure I don't overdo it.
Don't worry! I am not saying goodbye to any of my current clients, but I will not be taking anyone new for the foreseeable future.
This change just means my availability may be a bit less flexible.

My calendar is now open until December 2025 and I am working on reaching out to everyone who likes to pre book.

Thank you guys for always being so amazing and supportive! Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions regarding bookings and my availability

Flea and Tick season has arrived!

Actually Vancouver Island sees fleas and ticks all year long, but I definitely see an increase in periods from winter to spring, and summer to fall.

Contrary to what most believe, fleas can often be picked up in the environment, such as your yard, sidewalk, hiking trails etc. They don't always come from other pets. Especially since we have such an array of wildlife on the island (rats, deer, racoons, rabbits etc). People are often shocked if I find a flea or tick on their dog but I'm telling you they are SO common on the island that it's rare for a dog to go it's lifetime here and not be affected

Ticks are also pesky and can be picked up in areas you might not expect. It's important to be diligent about keeping your dog and house protected against these critters. Consider asking your vet for advice on a regular treatment that would suit your pet best.

If i find a tick on your dog I can remove it if you'd like. However dogs with fleas will be sent home immediately since I work from my house and they can easily jump into the environment!

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions! Photo attached from Google of what fleas look like in your dogs fur. They run and jump FAST. Ticks do not jump and are usually easier to see especially as they engorge.

From the bottom of it heart, thank you all so much for another amazing year in business. I sincerely love what I do and I couldn't do it without the trust and support from you and your doggies ❤️

And a HUGE thank you for everyone who helped with the food drive. This year you supplied 117 food Items which means I will be donating $117 on top of that. In addition there was $95 in cash donated! I will do my draw later today for a free groom and a half price groom!!

Thank you for everything and Happy Holidays ❤️❤️❤️
