To my wonderful clients and community.

As many of you know, Kristi is the first person to show up and give a helping hand to anyone in need. Now, she needs our help.

​A large mass was recently discovered in her stomach, requiring unexpected surgery to remove it. Because Kristi is self-employed, being out of work while navigating medical bills is going to be a huge financial burden.

​If you can donate—even a small amount—it would mean the world. If you can't donate right now, please consider sharing this post.

​Please keep Kristi in your thoughts, prayers, and send all the healing energy her way! Kristi has dedicated so much love and support to those around her and our community, and now it's our turn to show up for her 💜

Everyone who knows Kristi knows that she is one of the kindest, happiest, and … Ashley Barrows needs your support for Helping Kristi During Her Time of Need

Running Ashley Preite Grooming has brought so many wonderful people into my life, but before this journey, I had the privilege of working alongside Natasha.

She was the kind of coworker who made every tough day easier with her incredible humor; today, she is facing one of her toughest battles yet after being diagnosed with breast cancer this year.

While she fights this head-on with incredible grace, medical bills and daily expenses are adding up quickly. I wanted to use this platform to spread the word and help raise funds to ease her mind so she can focus entirely on her health.

Please consider donating if you can, or sharing this post to reach others who might be able to help.

As the air turns crisp and leaves change, autumn brings cooler weather, muddy paws, and seasonal shedding—the perfect time for extra coat TLC! Here is what’s happening at the salon, seasonal tips, and exciting 2027 booking news!

​💜 APG Is Fully Booked for the Rest of the Year!
A massive THANK YOU to my amazing clients! My calendar is 100% booked for the remainder of the year.

​
💜 Menu & Fall Care Tips
Even though my schedule is full, keeping your pup's coat healthy at home during autumn is essential:

•All-Inclusive Value: Every service at APG remains fully all-inclusive—including our Standard House Bath, nail clipping and filing (if tolerated), teeth brushing, and a relaxing full-body massage.
•Special Pampering: Pups on the schedule can upgrade to our $10 Organic Spa Detox Add-On! It features a 2-step bath with 100% USDA Organic shampoo and a clarifying apple c***r vinegar rinse (available in Cedar Flea Defense, Lemongrass, Lavender, or Unscented).
• Autumn Coat Maintenance: As dogs shed their summer coats, daily brushing prevents trapped undercoat from matting. Focus on paws and legs to keep damp leaves and mud from tangling in their fur! (P.S. Keep an eye out—we’ll soon be offering At-Home Maintenance Kits)

Hey everyone, exciting news and a quick question for our salon family!

As a one-on-one grooming salon, my top priority has always been making sure your dogs have a peaceful, stress-free experience with the best care possible. To make that care even better, I'm thinking about switching all our bathing products to 100% USDA Certified Organic, synthetic-free shampoo.

Why go organic?

▪️ No Harsh Chemicals: Free from synthetic detergents, sulfates, artificial dyes, and parabens.

▪️ Great for Sensitive Skin: Perfect for pups with allergies, itching, dry skin, or hot spots.

▪️ Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic: Better for your pet’s overall health, our environment, and their coats!

Before I make the official switch, I'd love to hear what you think! Would you be excited about an all-natural, holistic approach for your pup’s spa days?

Drop a YES or share your thoughts in the comments below—your feedback means the world to me!
