Hi all! I’ve recently been aware of a new salon in the area that has a very similar name to mine. If you book through Facebook groups, please verify that it is my business name you are booking with. Thank you for the years of support 🥰

Hi all! 🔥I am so sorry but the amount of last minute/day of cancelations and no shows lately, I have to start enforcing my Cancelation policy. It is really hard to drive an hour one way to have what was a fully booked schedule, only half my dogs show up. Thank you all for understanding!!

No Show/Last Minute cancelation policy - 24hr notice for Full Groom & BathBrush (not Nails or SplashDashs). $25/per dog. An invoice will be texted to you and will need to be paid before booking your next appointment.

Good information on matting

Good information on matting

The severity of mats. Mats are more than just a tangle in your dogs coat. A lot of people are unaware just how detrimental a mat is. Here is some knowledge on mats that will be quite the eye opener.
1. Mats pull on the skin.
2. They harbor bacteria, dead skin, debri and can smell.
3. They can create sores and wounds underneath.
4. Mats in the paw pads or armpits can change your dogs gait.
5. They are painful just existing. Creates bad blood circulation and can cause the blood to rush back to that area when removed. Hematomas. Bruising.

Removing mats:
1. Removing mats by brushing them out takes ALOT of time. And therefore costs more money.
2. Brushing them out still damages that hair.
3. Cutting them out can be dangerous especially if done by a non professional and will leave holes in the coat.
4. Clipping them out is still a lot of time, stressful and painful as the mats are pulled and tugged. It takes a very close (short) cut to get underneath mats to get them out. About 1/4 inch of coat will be left or bald spots.
5. When your dog needs the groomer to remove mats they are not set up for success. It is far more difficult to remain calm, comfortable and cooperative
