🩷🩵Surprise🩵🩷

Our crew is growing by one more this April! With this new addition, there may be a few adjustments to our operations, but we’re committed to keeping everything running as smoothly as possible.

I plan to continue working as usual for as long as I’m able before the baby arrives. Afterward, I’ll be taking approximately 4–8 weeks off, depending on how things go. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

Thank you so much for your continued support and love,
Carly, Tyler, C**t, and Kayslee

Soooo true plus I’m dealing with boarding dogs, phone calls, people stopping to talk, and bookings to make. We try our hardest to get them done as quickly as possible 🤎🤎

Anxiety trigger for almost all groomers that we never talk about.🐾
The dreaded question...how long will this take.
45 minutes to 4 plus hours 🤷‍♀️
Scenario
You have a 10 am for Fluff Butt cutie pants.
You come in we talk and if all goes well you pick up Fluff Butt around 12:30... in the mean time... we wash fluff butt and get him drying and the noon appointment shows up at 11:15 so you stop to check them in and chat. You come back to and Fluff Butt has p*ed a river and and is covered in p**p and p*e. So the new dog is put up and Fluff butt is pulled out for another bath. You start bathing and you are covered in soap and someone comes in.
The person to pick up their dog that was ready at 10:30 is here.
You chit chat check them out but you can't start your noon because you have to start over on Fluff.
You are almost done with fluff and the owners call to see why it is taking so long.
All your concentration is on Fluff now.
Your Noon is still not started and you have another dog coming in soon.
You are full of anxiety and rushing which will cause you to send out a bad groom.
Then the phone rings....
Lastly in walks in a dog that isn't matted according to the owner he gets there and welp matted and very territorial of personal space so you have to spend 10 minutes coaxing him out a kennel.
See how this can snowball quick.

I promise we never are trying to keep your dog longer than they should be here.
Nothing happened today but it does every week.
I have heard lots of complaints about my last groomer kept them all day.
Even in the best run grooming salon it happens.
The variables are great.
I promise I will let you know if we have an issue and when they are ready :)

Carly’s Weekly Info Post!

We’re excited to start sharing weekly posts on pet care topics! If there’s something you’d like us to cover, feel free to drop a comment.

This Week’s Topic: Overweight Pets

We’re seeing a growing number of overweight dogs and cats—and it’s heartbreaking. Many pet owners mistakenly believe their pets should eat the same way humans do, but that’s not the case.

Some dogs can eat freely and never gain weight, while others will eat themselves sick if allowed. Unfortunately, an overweight pet is not just a “chunky” pet—it’s an unhealthy one. Excess weight shortens their lifespan, strains their joints, stresses their organs, and reduces their overall quality of life.

Maintaining a healthy weight not only adds years to your pet’s life but also helps them move more comfortably and reduces their risk of health issues down the road.

From small breeds to large, I’ve managed to maintain ideal body condition by following consistent feeding guidelines—using a measuring cup, not a random scoop or mug. Here’s a general guide:
• 1–10 lbs: ¼ cup per day
• 10–20 lbs: ½ – 1 cup per day
• 20–50 lbs: 2 – 2.5 cups per day
• 50–80 lbs: 3.5 – 4 cups per day
• 80–100+ lbs: 5 – 6 cups per day

Keep in mind, spayed or neutered pets require about 30% less food due to reduced metabolism. This is a common cause of post-surgery weight gain that many owners aren’t aware of.

Adjust portions based on your pet’s activity level, body condition, and whether they are intact or fixed. Consistency is key!

We hope this helps—and we’d love to hear your thoughts.
