I have a grooming client who needs to rehome 2 border collies. Both lovely, well trained, confident, and sweet dogs. I would take them both if I could and had the space, they are wonderful. Prefer if they go together, but understand that may be difficult. The male is intact, 4 years old, and about 40-45 pounds. The female is spayed, 3 years old, and about 35 pounds. Please message me for more information, as I am trying to keep this as private as I can! 🐾

Today marks the 2nd anniversary of The Muddy Mutt! I cannot believe time has flown this fast, and we have grown this much! Opening a small business can be very scary and uncertain, and I am so thankful we did it anyways. Thank you to all of our wonderful customers-canine and human- for giving us the opportunity to do what we love everyday. We could not do this without all of your loyalty and support! Thank you🐾
-Libby, Sarah, and Madison ❤️

WHAT YOU DON'T SEE AT THE DOG GROOMERS.......
You dropped your dog off at the salon and picked them up few hours later - fluffy, fresh, and happy. But what you saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

You didn’t see your groomer arrive early to open up the salon, disinfect tools, lay out fresh towels, and check the day’s appointments. You didn’t see them look over your dog from nose to tail before even lifting a brush - checking the coat condition, skin, eyes, ears, nails, and weight.

You didn’t see the careful way they clipped around a wriggly paw, or how they paused to let your dog calm down during the bath. You didn’t notice the matting hidden beneath your dog’s topcoat, or the way the groomer worked slowly to avoid hurting the skin beneath it.

You weren’t there when they spotted a red patch of irritated skin, or a small lump you hadn’t noticed. You heard them gently mention it to you at collection - not to worry you, but because they genuinely care about your dog’s wellbeing.

And after you left, you didn’t see the clean-down , the floor swept, tables cleaned, blades oiled, messages replied to, notes written up for your next visit, and laundry on again.

All of that… for a price that’s often lower than what you’d pay for your own haircut. And your hairdresser?
They don’t have to bathe you, clip your nails, or hold you still while you try to bite the brush.

The truth is ……. dog grooming is so much more than a haircut.

It’s about health, hygiene, comfort, and trust. It’s about knowing dog anatomy, coat types, skin conditions, behaviour management, handling skills, and safe sc******ng techniques. It’s a profession that takes training, practice, and patience.
Most groomers got into this work because they love dogs. But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be paid fairly for the physical, emotional, and skilled work they do every single day.

If your dog leaves their groomer happy, healthy and looking good - it’s not by luck. It’s because you have got a good groomer.
So next time, take a moment to thank them. Leave a review.

Tip them if you can. And above all - don’t undervalue them.
They’re doing far more than just washing the dog.

Happy happy birthday to the crazy horse lady, Sarah! Thanks for being the best mom ever. Thank you for teaching me everything I know about animals, grooming, owning a business, and how to be the best person I can be. I learn something new from you every day. While you can be a difficult employee at times (just kidding!😂), I am so thankful to be able to work with my mom every day. Happy birthday, I love you!!
