🐾 Flea & Tick Prevention Reminder 🐾
Your groomer will always check over your dog to ensure they are free of fleas and ticks.
Sometimes, even during the bath and drying process, we may discover fleas or ticks. If that happens, we’ll give you a call and discuss what we’ve found before proceeding—especially for tick removal.
🛁 For fleas, we’ll give your pup a regular bath followed by a soothing Nagayu treatment, which is an additional $20 on top of the grooming price. We use only natural products—no harsh flea shampoos here!
🚫 If your dog has a heavy flea infestation, please get it treated before coming in, as we want to keep all our furry clients safe from fleas.
💡 Additional flea and tick preventatives are available through your veterinarian. You can also consult an essential oil specialist for natural remedies—just be sure to ask a professional, as some oils can be toxic to dogs.
Let’s work together to keep your pups happy, healthy, and itch-free! 🐶💛

WHAT YOU DON'T SEE AT THE DOG GROOMERS.......
You dropped your dog off at the salon and picked them up few hours later - fluffy, fresh, and happy. But what you saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

You didn’t see your groomer arrive early to open up the salon, disinfect tools, lay out fresh towels, and check the day’s appointments. You didn’t see them look over your dog from nose to tail before even lifting a brush - checking the coat condition, skin, eyes, ears, nails, and weight.

You didn’t see the careful way they clipped around a wriggly paw, or how they paused to let your dog calm down during the bath. You didn’t notice the matting hidden beneath your dog’s topcoat, or the way the groomer worked slowly to avoid hurting the skin beneath it.

You weren’t there when they spotted a red patch of irritated skin, or a small lump you hadn’t noticed. You heard them gently mention it to you at collection - not to worry you, but because they genuinely care about your dog’s wellbeing.

And after you left, you didn’t see the clean-down , the floor swept, tables cleaned, blades oiled, messages replied to, notes written up for your next visit, and laundry on again.

All of that… for a price that’s often lower than what you’d pay for your own haircut. And your hairdresser?
They don’t have to bathe you, clip your nails, or hold you still while you try to bite the brush.

The truth is ……. dog grooming is so much more than a haircut.

It’s about health, hygiene, comfort, and trust. It’s about knowing dog anatomy, coat types, skin conditions, behaviour management, handling skills, and safe sc******ng techniques. It’s a profession that takes training, practice, and patience.
Most groomers got into this work because they love dogs. But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be paid fairly for the physical, emotional, and skilled work they do every single day.

If your dog leaves their groomer happy, healthy and looking good - it’s not by luck. It’s because you have got a good groomer.
So next time, take a moment to thank them. Leave a review.

Tip them if you can. And above all - don’t undervalue them.
They’re doing far more than just washing the dog. Credits& Kudos
