🐾 HELLO, PET PARENTS! 🐾
A few important updates as we head toward the holiday season and the new year! ❤️
🎄 HOLIDAY APPOINTMENTS
The last two years of grooming have been absolutely SLAMMED in November and December, with everyone wanting their pups pampered and picture-perfect for the holidays! And since opening my own salon, I have QUADRUPLED my client list! 🥹❤️
I am SO incredibly grateful for every single one of you, but I also know that this coming holiday season is going to be absolute chaos! 😂
I’m normally pretty good at squeezing pups into my schedule and doing everything I can to get everyone in when they need to be, but I am only one person—and there are only so many hours in a day! Considering I am already booking into mid October, and have quite a few pups booked for the remainder of the year, it’s time to start getting your pups scheduled for holiday prep.
If you know you want your pups fresh and fluffy for Thanksgiving, Christmas pictures, holiday parties, or family gatherings, PLEASE get them on my schedule ASAP! Do NOT wait until the last minute. 🎅🏼🐶
I will be working additional days and hours throughout November and December to accommodate as many pups as possible, but unfortunately, appointments are not unlimited. I do need a little time outside of work to eat and sleep. 😂
PLEASE BOOK EARLY! 🐾
🎅🏼 SANTA PAWS?!
I’m also dabbling with the idea of potentially offering pet photos with Santa toward the end of November! 🎄📸
Before I put everything together, I’d love to see if this is something you’d actually be interested in.
👇🏼 Drop a comment below if you’d love to bring your pup for a Santa photo this holiday season! 🎅🏼🐾

📅 2027 SCHEDULE + PRICING UPDATE
I know it feels crazy to already be talking about 2027, but I’m officially starting to plan out my schedule!
I also want to give everyone plenty of notice that my prices will be increasing slightly in 2027.
This increase allows me to continue using high-quality products, investing back into my salon, and providing the individualized care and attention that each pup deserves. ❤️
The 2027 price increase will also apply to clients who currently receive a discounted rate.
Here’s what’s changing:
🐾 $5 increase across the board for every weight category and service.
🐾 Nail trims will remain $10. This is the ONLY price that will not increase because I truly believe every pup deserves to have well-maintained nails at an affordable price!
🐾 Additional $5 fee for any appointment scheduled at or after 3PM and for Saturday appointments.
🐾 3% credit card processing fee will begin in 2027. This is something I originally planned to implement this year, but I have chosen to waive it for everyone through the remainder of 2026.
To avoid the additional credit card fee next year, please come prepared to pay with cash, check, or Venmo! ❤️

✨ BUT HERE’S THE GOOD NEWS! ✨
Any 2027 appointments booked BEFORE January 1, 2027 will be LOCKED IN AT MY CURRENT 2026 PRICING! 🎉
That means if you schedule your pup’s appointments for all of 2027 before the new year, you’ll keep your current rate for every one of those appointments!
The 3% credit card processing fee will still apply to all appointments.
⚠️ Please note: If one of those appointments needs to be rescheduled after it has been booked, the affected appointment(s) will be adjusted to the new 2027 pricing.
Booking ahead also helps me:
🐶 Plan vacations and continuing education throughout the year
🐶 Make sure you get the days and times that work best for your schedule
🐶 Keep your pup on a consistent grooming routine
🐶 Better manage my schedule and avoid overbooking
If you’d like to get—or keep!—your pup(s) on my 2027 schedule, send me a message with:
📅 Your preferred day(s) and time(s)
🐾 How many weeks you’d like between appointments
This is especially important for anyone who prefers Monday, Friday, or Saturday appointments, as these are the days I try to reserve for time off whenever possible.
It’s also especially important if you prefer late afternoon/evening appointments, as those spots are limited and tend to fill VERY quickly!
⚠️ ONE VERY IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT 2027 APPOINTMENTS! ⚠️
Please DO NOT assume your pup is already scheduled for 2027 simply because you have appointments booked for the remainder of 2026!
If you have not received specific appointment dates for 2027, your pup is NOT currently booked for 2027.
If you’d like to continue your current grooming schedule into 2027, it’s super easy! 🐾
Simply send me a message and let me know that you’d like to continue your current grooming schedule into 2027. I’ll get your 2027 dates added to the schedule for you!
I just don’t want anyone to accidentally assume they’re booked and then realize later that they don’t have appointments scheduled. ❤️
If you want to keep your pup on their current routine, just shoot me a message and I’ll take care of the rest! 🐶✂️
Thank you all SO much for your continued support of Pooch Perfect. ❤️
I truly wouldn’t be where I am without all of you, and I’m so excited to see what the rest of 2026—and all of 2027—has in store! 🐾
Happy booking! ❤️🐶
