Hello everyone,

As promised we wanted to introduce you all to the newest member of the Barks & Bubbles family, our beloved Valentine’s Day baby, Leland Andrew Tait 🩵🐶

Although his arrival was earlier than expected, He is quite the little fighter and we couldn’t be more happy to finally hold our long awaited rainbow.

Special thank you to Taylor Crawford Photography for capturing our growing family today. We appreciate you endlessly and cannot recommend her services enough !

With so much love,
The Taits 🩵

So excited to share the awesome news, please welcome the ever lovely Taylor, the owner of Diggy’s Doos, to the shop!

I’m so excited to work alongside you once I return from maternity leave, and cannot recommend her services enough 🧡

I had the pleasure of grooming this adorable lady recently💛

I am now offering grooming services at 274 N Foord St, Stellarton(side entrance), alongside the lovely Barks & Bubbles Dog Grooming 🐾

For anyone needing a nail trim, this is a great opportunity to support a family in need 🤍

Starting at 10:00am today, I have appointments until 12:30pm, followed by walk-ins until 2:00pm. I look forward to seeing everyone as we support those in need during times of tragedy ❤️‍🩹 274 N Foord St, Stellarton(side entrance)

A family close to my heart recently experienced the tragic loss of their home and beloved dog due to a devastating fire.

In an effort to provide some assistance, I will be offering nail trims by donation on Sunday, March 2nd, starting at 10:00 AM
(I will be updating this post with additional information)

Hello everyone,

Just an update that due to unforeseen circumstances, I have officially begun my maternity leave sooner than expected in preparation to bring home baby Tait in the coming weeks 💛

As hard as it is to step away from what I love to do most, this is certainly not goodbye, just a see you later. But in the meantime, I am sending so much love and pets to all the Barks & Bubbles puppies who I will miss terribly, and I can’t wait to see you all when I return to the shop!

As a lot of you requested, I will be keeping my page updated with the arrival of our son, plus any other fun updates to come that you may not want to miss!

With so much love and happy tails,
Leah and Family 🌼🧡

To the ever lovely Barks & Bubbles family,

We hope that you all had a wonderful holiday season and a happy start to your new year!

As most of my wonderful clients already know, My husband and I are expecting the arrival of our baby boy this coming March, so I will be off on maternity leave starting March 1st, 2025.

That being said, I am very limited for appointments spots for the remainder of January, and going into February. At this time, I will only be able to accept small and medium sized pups due to the progression and safety of my pregnancy. I will also not be accepting any new clients due to the importance of being able to continue with a routine schedule with them, but am more than happy to recommend other wonderful groomers that are local!

For all missed and no show appointments over the next few weeks, please note that with the limited spots available my time is very valuable to both myself, and to my regulars that are trying to get in before my leave. So I may not be able to continue services for your pup should appointments be missed without notice.

** Please understand that these plans may change at any given notice, and ALL previously booked appointments are susceptible to being canceled in a moments notice, should the baby decide to arrive sooner! But I will keep this page updated, and will let everyone know of any changes as they arise! **

But most importantly,
Thank you all for another successful year of business. 2024 was a year filled with the best puppy snuggles, wiggly tails, skill building and learning, growth, and big life changes. And I can’t express how grateful I am to you all for the continued support and patience as this new chapter starts for our growing family. So thank you again, from the bottom of my heart. I appreciate you all so much and will miss your doggies terribly while I’m off!

Sending so much love and well wishes,
Leah, Family, and Baby Tait 🩵

Hi everyone, important update for both November & December Bookings!

UPDATED AS OF THE 7th:
I have only ONE spot left for all of November, and ONE spot left for all of December before I am fully booked for the 2024 year, and moving forward with 2025 appointments.

This year for Barks & Bubbles has been so much fun and we greatly appreciate everyone for coming in and brightening up the shop with all the happy faces, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, and we look forward to seeing your pups very soon ! 💛

Happy Tails,
Leah, Ruby, and Boomhauer 🐶

Hi everyone, hope your week is going well!

I just wanted to update my availability as November approaches and full service spots are filling up quickly. Space is very limited at this time, as I am currently booking for the week of November 19th and onwards into December.

Christmas appointments are almost gone also, with less than five slots left for the holiday season before Santy-paws arrives, so it is highly recommended to book sooner rather than later! 🎄🐾

I appreciate you all so much, and look forward to seeing all the fur babies in the incoming weeks 💛

As always, happy tails!

Leah, Ruby and Boomhauer 🐶🍂

October appointments are now officially filled. Thank you everyone 💛

Now booking for November and December!

09/23/2024

Good morning everyone, and happy fall! 🍁

Just wanted to post an update that I am filling up quickly for October appointments, with limited space available at the end of the month before moving on to November appointments.

Due to ongoing health concerns, I am having to limit the intake of medium, to large breed pups, as well as appointment times per day, to ensure that I am still able to keep up with my spaw day demands. During this time, I would greatly appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding 💛

Another note to keep in mind, is that I am currently booking for Christmas appointments aswell, so I highly recommend booking your pup’s santypaws appointment sooner rather than later! 🎄⛄️

And as always, If you are unable to make your appointment slot, please let me know as soon as possible, preferably *24 hours* prior to the scheduled time, so that I may fill your spot with another pup waiting for a hair day!

Thank you all so much for being amazing, and we look forward to seeing all the pups over the incoming holiday seasons!

Happy Tails,
Leah, Ruby, Boomhauer!

And a special thank you to our handsome friend, baby Kash (pictured below) for being a great model during his first spaw day 💛
