It’s been awhile since I’ve posted any before and afters so enjoy this cute boy- W***y!

Update on scheduling-
June and July are nearly full!

I can add you to the August wait list but it is very possible I will not get to everyone!

I will not be taking on any additional new clients until after maternity leave.

I also I am having to be choosy on which larger dogs I am able to do as I am not physically able to move in the ways I need to or able to lift as much as normal so I apologize in advance if I am unable to take in any of my usual large dogs this spring/summer.

This is a fabulous program for those who qualify! I used their services for my dogs many years ago and it was a great experience! Be sure to sign up early as spots fill fast!

UPDATE: All dog and female cat appointments are filled, but there is still room available for male cats!

PLEASE SHARE!!

Pennington County Humane Society will be hosting MN SNAP for two clinics this year.

The clinics will take place in June & September!

MN SNAP provides low-cost spay/neuter services for Minnesota families who don’t otherwise have access to affordable services for their pet. We intend to serve families that participate in a needs-based program, meet income guidelines, or are caregivers for feral/community cats.
Please contact us to register at 218-681-8045 or send a request form back to us! Spaces are limited, so we strongly encourage early sign-ups.

Please request a spot using the form in the comments, and MNSNAP will let you know if you are registered.

**Updated May 14th**

Just want to update as far as scheduling as we close in on my maternity leave.

May- FULL

June- booking into the last 2 weeks

July- limited availability remaining

August- No one has been scheduled as of yet. I will be scheduling starting at the top of my wait list in the next couple of weeks. I cannot guarantee I will get to everyone but I will do what I can as we close in on our due date toward the end of August.

Maternity leave will run from mid/end of August (pending doctors suggestion to stop or birth, whichever happens first) until after Thanksgiving.

If you need suggestions on places to try while I am out, please reach out. I will try to get a list together of suggestions and post here as well.

I have had quite a few inquiries this spring regarding cats. Unfortunately my allergies have not allowed me to groom cats for many years now. But Chrissy Noell's Pet Grooming does a fabulous job! Her schedule is limited so reach out sooner rather than later to get on her schedule for your cat grooming needs!

Friendly reminder to get your pets flea and tick medicines ASAP!
I found a tick on a dog this week so they are active!

Up North Grooming Clients & Followers-

I have a client who is needing to re-home her sweet pup! Located in northern Kittson County.

She is fixed, good with other dogs, cats & kids! Fully kennel & house trained. Does fabulous when she comes for grooming and is really so so so sweet! She has a little anxiety in the vehicle so does best in a crate when traveling.

She does also have a spot on my client list if she goes to a local home who wants to continue bringing her to me for grooming!

If you are looking to add to your family, reach out and I will connect you with her current family! They’re needing to move her soon!

Important Announcement!!

Please see the photo in the comments for more info and please reach out with any questions.
Thank you all so much for being fantastic customers 🫶

If you need recommendations for places to try in my off time, please reach out. If you’d like to be on the list for when I return in November/December let me know and I will start that list now as well!

As I look ahead into the rest of 2026 I am so grateful to all of my clients whether you are longstanding or newer here 🫶 as of now my books are at capacity and I will be limiting the brand new clients I take on for full grooms based on availability at the time of inquiry.

New clients for baths, nail trims and quick, tidy up services are always welcome!

I am so lucky to have so many great clients who love sharing their experiences and my info with their friends, family & acquaintances- you all make this dream job a reality every day! 🤩

It’s the time of year where I begin booking out a little further! If you’re one who is on a regular schedule I am willing to book you in for all appointments up through June 2026! This can help ensure your dog stays on schedule- it’s generally easier to get moved around than to try squeeze you in. ☺️ Reach out if you’d like to schedule ahead for your spring & beginning of summer appointments!

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas week! ✝️
