Well, that’s a wrap and all I can say is THANK YOU! 🐶❤️🐶 It’s been an amazing 9 years but my heart was calling me elsewhere. I built a business from 0 clients to where I was so busy I couldn’t take on anymore and I have you all to thank for that. Thank you to all my clients past and present! I have met some amazing people over the years, some of which have become great friends. Thank you for letting me be a part of your pups life, I truly enjoyed it. I literally had pet therapy every day I stepped through that door. We have celebrated the new and we have cried together over the losses and then celebrated again when I got the call “Susan, we got a new pup!” I will miss you all!!! Many of you may not have known me in my previous life but I have my Masters Degree in Social Work and will be returning to the field. I have accepted a position as a Hospice Social Worker.

Thank you Shanna Tharan for feeling the call. With your artistic abilities and your heart and love for these dogs, I know you will continue to do great!!!! Shanna has been training with me daily and will be remaining at the shop, which will now be called Pawsh Pups, until mid June when she moves to her new location in Wentlings Corners. She is taking it slow and is busy with many of my existing clients so she may not be taking on any new ones until her move so keep her number handy. 724-372-0790. 🐶🐾🐶

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. Credits& Kudos
