Rocket the Aussie had a heck of a fun time getting his first bath and brush at Faerie Dog Grooming Salon just outside of Oskaloosa, Iowa, and he wants you to hear all about it!

Nova is a 10-month-old Corgi/Terrier mix who came to Faerie Dog Grooming Salon for a full groom.

Like many dogs, Nova has anxiety around having nails trimmed. In order to alleviate this anxiety, we did half of her nails with the traditional trimmers, and the other half with handheld nail filing paper (it’s a bit like sandpaper or a dremmel in texture).

As time goes on and trust is built, we believe the nail clippers will become more tolerable to Nova. In the meantime, the filing method helps cut down on the fear factor during grooms while keeping nails down to a healthy length.

Thanks for coming in, Nova. We believe you’re ABSOLUTELY a good dog and you deserve ALL the scritchin’s.

Remember Rue the Pomeranian? As it turns out, she’s big sister to puppy Poppy the Pomeranian!

Meet the rambunctious, fuzz ball of energy: Poppy. Poppy came in for a “puppy version” of a groom, which entails getting used to the space, equipment, and me (her groomer!) without too much added pressure for her.

We bathed her, blow dried her, brushed her, and trimmed her little b***y floofs down a tad before sending her back home to her family.

Poppy did great for her second time ever in a grooming salon! She chased her fluffy little tail while I brushed her out, and it was the funniest and cutest thing I’ve seen all week.

Thanks for coming in, Poppy! I hope to form a bond with you as you grow up, and get the process of grooming down pat for you in no time.

The prettiest Pomeranian just got a doggy bath and haircut at Faerie Dog Grooming Salon: Rue!

She’s stoic.
She’s grace.
She’s cuteness in your face.

Thanks for coming in, Rue! We hope to see you again in a few weeks.

It was great spending the day with Oakley the Husky and Ellie the German Shepherd recently. Both got a thorough bathing and brushing, complete with deshedding, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and bandanas.

Have you put off getting your cat or dog groomed this season? Quit procrastinating their health and hygiene (they DO sleep in bed with you after all) and book your appointment today!

Do you still need to find pet care for spring break? It’s not too late to book in-your-home pet care with Paw Prints Pet Services.

My name is Hailey Van Weelden and I offer pet sitting and dog walking services in Oskaloosa and the surrounding communities.

I’ve been in this business for over a decade, caring for dogs, cats, horses, snakes, fish, birds, and more. I come with a wealth of knowledge, compassion, (and pet sitting insurance!). Prior to focusing on my business full time, I worked as a vet tech at a local veterinary clinic, as a caretaker at a local animal shelter, and I currently own my own dog grooming salon in rural Oskaloosa (Faerie Dog Grooming Salon).

Want to learn more about me or the services I offer? Send me a DM today and let’s chat. 💬

Uki the Siberian Husky is a happy boy after a deshedding bath and brush, just in time for spring.

Do you have a husky overdue for a bath or brush out? Message me with relevant info (pet name, breed, weight, and a CURRENT photo), and I’ll get you a price quote back in 24 hours or less.

If you end up wanting to book, send vaccination records to [email protected]. Once I have verified vaccination status, my calendar will open up for you and your pup.

I have a couple openings left this month yet, otherwise we are looking out to April/May for current availability.

Thanks!

Happy 2nd birthday to Faerie Dog Grooming Salon!

We just passed our yearly inspection with flying colors, and look forward to serving the community more in the coming year.

Thank you to all of my clients who keep me going, and their amazing pups, as well as my supportive husband Tyler Van Weelden. I couldn’t do it without you.

Paw Prints Pet Services + Faerie Dog Grooming Salon + Brownwulf Media booth at PRIDE IN THE ALLEY with PFLAG Oskaloosa last weekend was a vibe!

Thanks to everyone (and their dogs) who came out to support.

I was not able to make it myself but my adoring husband set up shop for me and sold paintings, handed out business cards, and made LOTS of friends in the community.

It can be hard in the current social climate to know where you’re welcome. To know when you’re wanted. To know that you’re loved.

ALL of my businesses support the rights of ALL human beings. I myself am q***r as heck. Non-binary. THEY/THEM.

And baby, I was born this way. 🌈

ALT TEXT: a photo of a husky sitting in a dog grooming salon. The salon walls are white and the door is pink. The salon floors are grey. The dog is multi-colored and has one blue eye, one half blue, half brown eye. His tongue is out of his mouth and he looks happy. His ears are standing straight up. There is dog fur all around him in the background of the photo.
