As many of you know, Britt will be going on maternity leave later this year. Because we will be down one groomer during that time, our schedule has filled extremely quickly.

At this time, we are completely booked from now until the end of June and then the beginning of September through November and no longer have availability during those months. From now until she goes on leave, appointments are also filling extremely fast.

We wanted to reach out and see who may be interested in pre-booking the rest of their grooming appointments for the year! 🐾

About 90% of our clients LOVE this option because it guarantees them appointments at the times they prefer and helps keep their pups on a consistent grooming schedule.

If you’d like us to get your pets scheduled out for the remainder of 2026, please message us or let us know at your next appointment and we’d be happy to get everything set up for you! ❤️

Starting Monday, we will be handing out everyone’s pre-booked schedules, as well as sending a photo of your appointments directly to you.

We did our absolute best to accommodate everyone while planning for my upcoming maternity leave. Unfortunately, not everyone was able to get their preferred days or times. With one less groomer, we simply could not fit the same number of dogs into the schedule.

We ask that you please be patient and respectful if we were unable to get your pup in exactly when you hoped. We truly tried to make this as fair and accommodating as possible for everyone.

If you were unable to get on the schedule, I highly encourage booking as soon as possible. We currently have limited availability at the end of May and beginning of June. We are already booked from mid September through mid November leading up to and after my maternity leave.

We will be closed starting 9/17/26 and will reopen on 9/28/26 for a quiet week at home with our newborn and Ashleigh can take a much needed vacation. Following that, I will be on maternity leave for 7 weeks. Ashleigh will be grooming during that time, aside from the first week we are closed.

Thank you all for your understanding and continued support. It truly means so much to us! 🐾

Okay sooo I totally forgot to draw the winner last night 🤦‍♀️ but better late than never!!

🎉 The winner of the Fur Ball tickets is… Megan Stowell!! 🎉

Please message me to arrange pickup! Tickets must be picked up between 8–4 today or 8–12 Friday so you can enjoy the Fur Ball Saturday evening!

Thank you so much to everyone who participated and shared your adorable pups & kitties, I loved seeing them all!

I just want to say thank you to all of my amazing clients for bearing with me over the last couple of weeks. My little guy has been under the weather, and I’ve been balancing taking care of him in between grooming appointments.

Because of that, wait and pickup times have been a bit longer than usual, and my response time to messages hasn’t been as quick as I’d like. Running a business while caring for a sick kiddo has definitely been a challenge.

I know this can be frustrating, and I truly appreciate those of you who have been flexible with timing, understanding with communication, and supportive during this hectic stretch, it has not gone unnoticed.

We’ve even added extra days to try and keep up with the demand, but we’re still doing our best to catch up. At this time, we are booked out at least 6 weeks.

If you no-show or have to reschedule due to not having updated vaccine records, please understand that we may not be able to get you back in before your next scheduled appointment.

I kindly ask that you continue to be courteous and patient with us during this time. I truly appreciate your understanding and support more than you know. It means everything to me 💛

🐾 Important Scheduling Update – Please Read 🐾

We are so incredibly thankful for all of our amazing clients who keep us busy and booked! 💙 Most of our clients book their appointments up to 6 months in advance, and we are typically booked out at least 6 weeks at a time.

Unfortunately, we have had 4 no shows just since Tuesday. When a client no shows for an appointment, it leaves a spot that we are unable to fill and it also makes it very difficult to get your pup back in before your next scheduled appointment.

With this recent increase, we will be strictly enforcing our no show policy moving forward.

❗️ No shows will be charged 100% of the scheduled groom cost.

Appointment reminders are sent as a courtesy, but it is ultimately the client’s responsibility to keep track of their scheduled appointments.

We completely understand that things come up, and we always appreciate communication. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let us know as soon as possible so we can try to offer that spot to another client in need.

This policy is not meant to be harsh, it is simply to respect our time, our business, and the many clients waiting for appointments.

Thank you for understanding and supporting our small business! 🐶✂️

We couldn’t have done this without your time, hard work, and big hearts. 💕

It was such a fun (and busy!) day getting to see all your pups and be part of something so meaningful together.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for showing up, supporting local, and loving on these animals with us. 💕

We couldn’t do it without you!
