Good afternoon, everybody. This is my concluding post about PetPocketbook. I apologize for any inconvenience resulting from its notifications. As per a major query people had, the company has adjusted the sign-up process for accounts, making the credit card field optional under Settings. Users now have the flexibility to add a card or not during account setup. For those opting to add a card later, it can be done through billing settings. A new post will follow with the updated prices for the upcoming year. Should any questions arise, do not hesitate to contact me via call, text, or message.

Good afternoon, valued clients. On this cold and snowy day, I would like to inform you that our new app is now live. You will receive an email with setup instructions for PetPocketbook. Please note that the app requires credit card information for processing purposes. Rest assured, I will only charge your card with your explicit permission. If you intend to pay via cash, check, Venmo, or Apple Pay, please let me know, and I will annotate the invoices accordingly to prevent any unauthorized charges. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Happy holiday season. Please be advised of our upcoming office closures from November 27 to November 30 for Thanksgiving weekend, and from December 5 to December 7, as I will be on a Winter vacation.

🌞 Morning Pack Post – The Truth Behind What We Do

Good morning Pack Family! 🐾💛
Today I want to shine a little light on something most people never truly see:

✨ The REAL work of a Pet Stylist. ✨

People see the cute dogs, the bows, the bandanas, the fresh cuts…
But what they don’t see is how physically demanding this job really is.

Most groomers handle 5–6 dogs a day…
But our Pack Leader?
💪 She runs an entire pack AND still grooms 10+ dogs every single day.
That takes skill, patience, speed, and a level of strength people don’t even realize.

Grooming is NOT just “washing dogs.”
It’s hours of:

• Power grooming that strains the wrists, shoulders, and back
• Lifting and holding dogs of every size
• Standing all day with no real breaks
• Endless bending, brushing, detangling, drying, clipping, and sc******ng
• Maintaining control of the dog while keeping them comfortable and safe
• Working through matted coats, anxious pups, senior dogs, and unpredictable behavior

And let’s talk facts:
Power grooming can take a serious toll —
🔥 Tendon strain
🔥 Back and neck pain
🔥 Hand cramping
🔥 Fatigue that hits your whole body, even long after work is done

But we still show up.
We still pour love into every groom.
We still make each pup feel their best.
We still give 100% because this is what we were chosen to do.

And our Pack Leader?
She does it with heart, with faith, and with strength that comes straight from above.
Because when God calls you to serve with love, He gives you the endurance to keep going. 🙏🐾

So today…
Show love to your groomers.
Lift them up.
Appreciate the work they pour into every fur baby.
Because this job isn’t easy —
But it’s a blessing to be trusted with your pets. 💛🐾

As my business continues to grow, I would like to take a moment to address a few key aspects of how it is being run. I have informed numerous clients that while I offer grooming sessions, I do not provide professional grooming services, including breed cuts or foot rounding. I do my best to provide a high-quality service. I am also currently pursuing certification as a fear-free groomer, as I am a strong believer in this approach. I am committed to avoiding harsh methods when working with animals, as I believe that grooming should be a stress-free experience. To accommodate clients who share this perspective, I offer in-home grooming sessions. I understand that some clients may have differing opinions, but I wanted to notify everyone that changes will be implemented in our grooming methods going forward.
