I couldn’t imagine the heartache this family is going through for their baby Maxx. This family had gobs to every grooming salon, posted flyers, publicized on tv begging for the return of their son. No amount could stop me from trying as well to get him back . I will help this family by keeping my eyes open as well.
This costs nothing to share. 💔🐾💔

The Tragic Fate of Buck

The story of Buck has been weighing heavily on my mind for the past few days. There are so many upsetting aspects to how this situation unfolded.

Last weekend, Kayla noticed a new dog coming around the store. She watched as he carefully waited for a break in the traffic to cross the four lanes of 1764. It was a very hot and humid Saturday, so Kayla made sure to provide the dog with water. Over the entire weekend, the dog kept triggering the store's security cameras, seemingly hoping someone would come out to play with him or give him more water.

On Tuesday morning, Kayla saw the dog again and followed him back to his home. She spoke to the woman there and learned that this was indeed Buck, a dog that had been rescued just a few months prior. Kayla informed the owner about Buck's visits to the store, and the owner said she would need to do a better job of keeping him tied up. We assumed this meant tying him to a tree or a lead, but we didn't fully understand her plan.

The next day, Buck showed up at the store again, clearly craving attention and water. Around 3:30pm, he escaped from his home again and came to the store, doing his business on the side before running off. If we had known, we would have brought him inside for a few minutes to cool down then gave him a ride home.

As rush hour traffic built up around 5pm, Buck made a break to try and cross the four lanes. He had a chance, but then a sudden surge of vehicles dashed any hope. The worst had happened. A customer came in to sadly inform us that animal control had just arrived and taken Buck away. The next morning, Buck's distraught owner left a letter on our door, saying they had been driving around searching for him after he got out and didn't come home. We called her with the tragic news, and while she was understandably upset, she vowed to do a better job of containing the NEXT dog in the future.

In my opinion, if you can't provide a dog like Buck with proper supervision and a secure environment, especially during the dangerously hot days, then you shouldn't have a dog at all. No Dog loves this heat maybe 15-30 minutes tops then they need better conditions . Leaving a dog outside in extreme heat, even with HOT shelter and HOT water, is unacceptable. Treat your pets the way you would want to be treated yourself. Buck's unnecessary death is heartbreaking. We need to do better at loving our pets they are not just barking machines to let you know someone’s lurking they also want love and affection. 💔 RIP Buck

Happy Sunday 🐸! Boy it’s hot 🥵. A long but educational read.

So I wanted to give a bit of an education to our clients. We have had a lot of people ask or complain about how long the grooming is taking. The average pet grooming can be 2-4 hours. If we didn’t care so much then we wouldn’t take long.

Many clients that didn’t book in advance and called/ walked in day of if my groomer agreed to stay then you will get your pet back late. A 3 or 4 o clock drop off will be a 7-8 or 9 pm pick up. We do explain this it’s in the contract you signed. Please read below

Prep Work

There's a lot of prep work that needs to be done, including taking care of the basics like shaving or brushing out a dog's coat, cutting their nails, brushing their teeth and cleaning out their ears. Groomers will always brush a dog's coat before they bathe them to avoid tangles and knots!

The Bath

The bath can be relatively quick or take a lot longer depending on the dog's individual behavior, as well as their coat condition. Other than using the regular shampoos and conditioners the groomer might need to give the dog's coat special treatment to treat skin rashes or allergies and any other skin problems. Plus, if the dog is not being easy to work with, this can also prolong the time it takes to complete the bath.

Drying

Drying a dog's coat is important since it needs to dry properly before a groomer can cut it to make it even. This part gets tricky since the dryer often makes a dog nervous. Many times, a groomer will towel dry a dog or even turn on a fan on low to get them all dried up before the cut. This can take a while depending on the breed of the dog. Obviously, the smaller the dog the less time it'll take to dry. And if they have a short coat, the drying process shouldn't be more than 30 minutes, but can be up to an hour or more for a large, curly coat, matted up brush out , or hairy dog.

Clipping

The more intricate the style the owner wants, the longer the cut can take. Once that clipping is done, the groomer will do some last-minute tidying up to ensure that everything looks right on your dog before dressing them in a bow or bandana!

Multiple Dogs

You're not going to be the groomer's only client, so one reason why it takes so long is that there are multiple dogs there waiting to get groomed. Even though there are multiple groomers on staff, it can still take a while to see everyone – even if they have an appointment.

The Call

Once this is all done, the groomer will give you a call or text, alerting you that's it's now time to pick up your furry child.

The grooming process can be quite a lot of work, especially for a professional that takes pride in their job. That's the case with Sids Grooming & More. We don't rush the process to ensure amazing results pet owners love. We are a full-service grooming salon that provides premium-spa-like experiences for your dog and cat!

So yes this can take 2- 4 hours and on a Saturday can be a bit longer, but know your pet will look and snell amazing. 😻
