WHAT YOU DON'T SEE AT THE DOG GROOMERS.......
You dropped your dog off at the salon and picked them up few hours later - fluffy, fresh, and happy. But what you saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

You didn’t see your groomer arrive early to open up the salon, disinfect tools, lay out fresh towels, and check the day’s appointments. You didn’t see them look over your dog from nose to tail before even lifting a brush - checking the coat condition, skin, eyes, ears, nails, and weight.

You didn’t see the careful way they clipped around a wriggly paw, or how they paused to let your dog calm down during the bath. You didn’t notice the matting hidden beneath your dog’s topcoat, or the way the groomer worked slowly to avoid hurting the skin beneath it.

You weren’t there when they spotted a red patch of irritated skin, or a small lump you hadn’t noticed. You heard them gently mention it to you at collection - not to worry you, but because they genuinely care about your dog’s wellbeing.

And after you left, you didn’t see the clean-down , the floor swept, tables cleaned, blades oiled, messages replied to, notes written up for your next visit, and laundry on again.

All of that… for a price that’s often lower than what you’d pay for your own haircut. And your hairdresser?
They don’t have to bathe you, clip your nails, or hold you still while you try to bite the brush.

The truth is ……. dog grooming is so much more than a haircut.

It’s about health, hygiene, comfort, and trust. It’s about knowing dog anatomy, coat types, skin conditions, behaviour management, handling skills, and safe sc******ng techniques. It’s a profession that takes training, practice, and patience.
Most groomers got into this work because they love dogs. But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be paid fairly for the physical, emotional, and skilled work they do every single day.

If your dog leaves their groomer happy, healthy and looking good - it’s not by luck. It’s because you have got a good groomer.
So next time, take a moment to thank them. Leave a review.

Tip them if you can. And above all - don’t undervalue them.
They’re doing far more than just washing the dog. Credits& Kudos

Hi, I’m Asta

Let’s get one thing straight—I’m a survivor. Life started out pretty rough for me. I was found abandoned in a cardboard box, way too skinny at just 29 lbs. But thanks to some amazing people, I’m now up to 36 lbs and working my way to a healthy 40!

I’m about 2 years old, and I’m what they call a hound mix—which means I’ve got a great nose for adventure and a whole lot of love to give. I get along with dogs of all sizes, cats, kids, and even chickens! I do like to jump when I’m excited, so I might be a little much for tiny humans.

Some of my favorite things? Chew bones (like Benebones), stuffed toys (I promise I don’t destroy them!), car rides, and running around outside. I’m completely housebroken, sleep in my crate all night, and even nap in it during the day. I don’t guard my food or toys, and my foster mom can take a bone right out of my mouth—no problem!

I am still learning a few things, like not putting my paws on counters and tables (what can I say, I’m curious!). I’m also a little shy, especially around men at first, but I warm up with time. Storms? Not a fan. You’ll probably find me hiding under the bed or in my crate when they roll in.

I’m heartworm positive, but don’t worry—it doesn’t slow me down! I’m on the slow-kill treatment, which means I can still run, play, and enjoy life while I get better. My rescue can explain the details if you’re interested.

I’ve come so far in just a short time, and I’m ready to find my forever family. All I need is patience, love, and a safe place to call home. If that sounds like you, let’s meet!

📍 Available for adoption in Central Florida/Orlando
📌 Apply today to make me part of your family!

Foster notes below! ‼️🚨
I did a doggie date with Wally and he was wonderful. He was fine in our house as well and lovedddd sniffing around the yard. He did not have any accidents. He rode great in the car and was super gentle on walks. He loved lounging as we watched TV and didn’t destroy anything while with us.

WALLY, AS IN ALL POSTS IS A SOLO DOG HOME
