Aprils Grooming & Boarding

Hi everyone, Just a quick update on the status of the van and mobile service.
I have had a lot of people reach out and it’s been amazing. I don’t have a time frame just yet but I’m really hoping in the next month to be up and going.
I think I will set two days a week for going to houses and two days doing what they call a hybrid mobile which is where I set up somewhere and you meet me there. This will save some clients money if you prefer to not pay the home fee. As far as fees go I’m still doing research it’s just difficult because most mobile businesses are in big cities and the price is well just down right insane.
For instance some charge $150 per hour.
A doodle can take 3 hours to do. That’s insane.
So my thoughts right now are keeping prices the same but add a $20 charge for home visits depending on your location.
Again this is just a thought and not a plan yet. I’d love positive feedback if anyone has any ideas please share them.
The van will be looked at soon my a mechanic to get everything sorted out and any issues taken care of. I have decals on the way and I’m getting the inside cleaned and yes there is a bathtub with hot water on demand. This van is a full service grooming shop on wheels 😊

It’s official
I’M GOING MOBILE 🐾
I still have a little bit of work to do on getting everything inside how I want but it’s all set up with tub, table and dryers but I want to change some things around a little bit. Need some decals on it and figure out how everything runs. Hopefully in the next month I will be ready 😁
I have no plans yet and no pricing info just yet but I will update when I know more.
Thank you to everyone for the kind words of encouragement and support the past few weeks.
I will not go into details on why I left the shop but I will say I feel fantastic mentally
And I have a spark back that I haven’t had in awhile.
It’s just going to be me the van and the grooming pups ❤️🐾❤️

Hey everyone I’m looking at mobile grooming vans this weekend. If all goes well I will be be up and doing mobile grooming in the next few months.
Still going to get a home base spot started eventually but this is a great option for a few days a week and I’m supper excited.

Hi everyone it’s April, I just wanted to give a quick update.
The hardest decision I have made in a long time was made official today.
I have decided to leave the shop in Barlow
It’s in good hands and I need to get back to how it all started for me.
Just me and my grooming dogs. One on one, no stress, no other dogs or noise.
I will be temporarily grooming at the vet office in LaCenter. Dr Rodgers is allowing me to rent a space from him until I get my little space set up for grooming from my home.
This is what my heart needs and what I feel I have to do right now.
To schedule appointments with me please call 270-816-0509
This is my personal phone number and I ask that calls be made during business hours Monday-Friday 8:00 to 4:00
If you have to cancel or reschedule last minute please send me a txt if it’s after 4:00.
I am truly blessed and grateful for all the years in Barlow!
I’m sad, scared and not a fan of change of any kind but I know I have built a bond and a relationship with many and I pray that all will continue.
Thank you to Dr Rodgers and staff for giving me the opportunity to start my new journey ❤️🐾❤️

Up for adoption. Duke is a Golden Doodle Dane mix. He will be 2 years old December 2nd and is about 72 lbs. up to date on all vaccines.
Duke is my daughters dog and this post is not easy for any of us and I do not want to see any negative comments please.
As most of you know I became a grandma December of last year and unfortunately Duke does not deal well with Miles.
Miles just wants to crawl around and love all over the dogs. Duke has snapped at him multiple times and we cannot risk him acutely biting Miles. Duke is a good dog
And he will be a great addition to a family that doesn’t have babies or small children.
He has been around kids and loves everyone but not little ones that want to crawl on him.
Duke is house broken and crate trained.
Please msg me if interested and again if you don’t have anything nice to say please don’t comment.
Thank you
April.
