Happy new year, everyone!

I thank everyone for their continued support for the last couple of years and looks forward to grooming all your furry friends in the years to come.

I am away for holidays the last 2 weeks of January. I have a couple spots open before then but if you are in desperate need while I am away, please don’t hesitate to contact Callie at How Fetching grooming!

Sorry I haven’t been keeping up on socials, many of my grooms are now posted by Callie so make sure to head over to how fetching and give the page a like!

Moving day is here!

I am doing one very last groom this morning at my current salon before packing up, moving to town and tackling a Standard poodle in the new space with Callie this afternoon!

I have decided to open up my client list now that there are 2 groomers in one location which makes things easier for scheduling and helping with more difficult grooms!

As of July 1st I will be accepting new clients! I am still only part-time grooming so you may be booked in with Callie 😁

This weeks feature dog is Cosmo, because he drug up a dead deer from the highway and has spent the last week proudly dragging it around the farm… so you can imagine how he smells.

Facts about Cosmo:

-He is a purpose bred cross between a Belgian Malinios and a German Shepherd.
-He is an amazing family dog and he loves his people, especially the little ones.
-He is genetically predisposed to be protective and was bred that way since he was part of a litter that was police-requested. They breed the GSD with the malinios to make the dog more compact and extra agile. A Belgian malinios is commonly referred to as “a German shepherd on crack” and I totally get it now.
-Since he is incredibly intimidating, you will never see him when you bring your fur babies for their groom. He does love all animals including cats so rest assured that your animals are safe if he should ever weasel his way to the grooming area (which won’t happen anyway) 🤣

Here is Cosmo, right after his bath and during the drying process (vid in comments). He is currently blowing his winter coat.
He got the full groom today- bath, blow dry, ear cleaning, tooth brushing and nail 💅

As usual, I forgot to take pictures but yesterday, Callie from How Fetching grooming in Kelvington joined me to groom this beautiful standard poodle named Annie, and managed to get a “before” picture of Annie half dry after her bath. And then as I was walking Annie out, I quickly grabbed a quick “after picture”. I was going to take her outside in the natural light and take some model style pictures but I got side tracked 🤣

Anyway, Annie was very fun to groom and it was great to meet a fellow groomer! If anyone is looking for a groomer close by, let me know and I can get you in touch with her! I’m still currently full for clients 🐕

Here is the pictures we managed to snap.. Annie’s owner wanted a full shave down, no fancy poodle cut, no poodle top-hat. Annie is a show dog turned farm dog 🐶 she she needs a shave to keep clean while running through the barn!

Anyone looking to buy some new nail clippers for dogs, read this post!

After seeing so many recommendations in a grooming group I’m in, I decided to finally order some RED handled millers forge clippers.
They just came in and even though I just did my shepherds nails, I wanted to see how good these things really are.

The answer is Ah-mazing!

Smooth like butter, no pressure on the nails, no cracking under said pressure, and can take off literally the tiniest slices imaginable without any splintering. Definite game changers for those dogs who hate dremmels but want closer cuts to the quick!

I am going to start featuring some dogs in an attempt to take more pictures and show more of my work!

This weeks feature is Gizmo (he was here today and sparked this idea)

Gizmo is a French bulldog who has stolen my oldest daughters heart. Gizmo is the reason you will see Brynn fully decked out in frenchie pants, frenchie shirts with a frenchie stuffed animal.

Gizmo has been coming here every 4-6 weeks since we opened, he is very well behaved and is the only dog I’ve met who seems to enjoy getting his nails dremmeled.. the back ones anyway. Don’t let his short hair fool you, this cute little guy sheds more than a German shepherd. I’m constantly amazed at how much hair can come off such a small dog!

I just love this little guy and his cute snorting 🥰 Gizmo is such a pleasure to have here

The end of this week marks our very first anniversary!

Although my heart lies in behaviour and training, it’s become truly a joy to groom. When I started, I was only interested in grooming medium-extra large dogs but a few of you asked that I groom your smaller fur babies. I was hesitant but let me tell you, some of those little guys have become my absolute favorite!
Thank you so much to all the clients that stuck with me through my learning phase and kept coming as I went from nervous to much more confident in my grooming skills. Many of the things I was not so good at in the beginning have become second nature to me now.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me with your pets and I look forward to keep grooming them in the many years to come!

**I am still full and not accepting new clients but if you have a dog on file from the last year, you and any other pets you acquire are automatically current clients :)

Happy Sunday!

As usual, we’ve had soooo many amazing dogs lately and I have not taken a single photo 📸

We’ve had to reschedule this whole week due to c19, and can’t wait to get back at ‘er.

Booking into second week of March 😁 trying really hard to keep those wait times lower, but please remember to book early as we are usually atleast a month in advance!

27/01/2022

Good day, everyone!

How’s everyone doing? Hope everyone is safe, healthy and happy!

As things roll through *cough omicron cough* we have had to reschedule this week due to it closing down our daycare.

As a reminder, I am currently not accepting new clients on account of already having over 85 dogs on file and only being a part-time groomer 🦮
I will let everyone know when spots become available!

Enjoy a picture of a diverse pack of some of my favorite 4 legged personalities

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

We hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday!

Now that December is over, I will be calculating up the grooms for the month and then taking 50% out for a donation to a Saskatchewan rescue! I will make a separate post with that 😁

****Important news heading into 2022 is that we are unfortunately full for clients as of right now****

With a growing list of regulars and the inability to add any more days (I’m still having to run my kids to and from playschool, dance, skating, appointments, take care of the farm/books, cook everyday for the farm men, and we are just starting a massive renovation 😱) it’s just not possible to add more clients to the roster right now!

If you are currently on file with us or already have a booked appointment, you are considered a current client!

I will post any openings if any become available!

Thank you to every single person who has supported this hobby of mine in the last year! You all have fantastic dogs and it’s truly a pleasure to get to spend time with them 😁
