We were contacted this morning to help Chloe. Her human has been facing some difficult life circumstances and Chloe finds herself a need of a new home at 8 years old.

We've had the pleasure of grooming Chloe for the past few years and can confirm she's a wonderful dog! She gets along with other dogs and kids and cats. Her current caretaker says her silliest quirk is that she will counter surf if food is left out... But hey I think we would all steal a snack here and there if given the opportunity ;)

Please help us help Chloe and share to all your dog lovers?

You can call the shop at 717-757-3312 if interested 🐾

It's going to be a hot time in the old town for the next few days! Here's some fun indoor activities you can do with your dogs, let's play it cool 😎

☀️🐶 TOO HOT FOR A WALK? Try These Indoor Enrichment Activities! 🐶☀️

When temperatures rise, it's important to remember that our dogs can overheat much faster than we do. On especially hot days, outdoor exercise may need to take a back seat—but that doesn't mean your pup has to be bored!

Mental enrichment can be just as tiring as physical exercise and is a great way to keep your dog happy, engaged, and stimulated while staying cool indoors.

🐾 Food puzzles
🐾 Snuffle mats and scent games
🐾 Treat scavenger hunts
🐾 Short training sessions
🐾 Tug games
🐾 Frozen lick mats and stuffed KONGs
🐾 Indoor obstacle courses
🐾 Calm-time enrichment activities

Did you know? Just 15–20 minutes of mental enrichment can provide similar fatigue and satisfaction as a much longer walk for many dogs!

🌡️ Signs your dog may be getting too hot outdoors:
• Excessive panting
• Drooling
• Lethargy
• Bright red gums
• Weakness or collapse

If the pavement is too hot for your hand, it's too hot for your dog's paws.

💙 How do you keep your dog entertained when it's too hot outside? Tell us your favorite enrichment activity in the comments!

A past reshare as this summer has brought us a high number of cancellations/last minute reschedules.

We truly do understand that "life happens" and we are the first to give second (or third or fourth) chances. However, with the current economy we are reaching a critical point that we are reconsidering our ability to reschedule frequent cancelers. We simply can't afford to repeatedly hold appointments that do not make it in the door. If we do need to have this conversation with you, we ask for your understanding and consideration that we are the tiniest of businesses trying to survive while we watch many around us closing their doors.

It's our honor and privilege to care for your dogs and our ultimate goal will always be to remain here doing so 🐾❤️

Hi there! It's your friendly neighborhood business owner here, just making what seems to be our bi-annual post asking for your consideration. We know "times are tough" right now and it seems like everyone has a lot on their plate. We are super understanding when emergencies pop up and you can't make it to your pet's appointment. But there has been a pretty drastic increase during the past few weeks of cancellations within an hour or two of the appointment time or just complete no shows. These really impact us as a small business! We are not like the big box grooming stores where groomers get paid whether dogs show up or not- if you are not there we do not get paid, it's as simple as that. We don't get paid = we can't buy groceries and pay our bills.

We don't currently have an official no show or cancellation policy in place, I really prefer to keep my business as simple as possible. I don't like having to be the "bad guy" by enforcing policies like that. But it also hurts me to see my coworkers upset and impacted as their third client of the week cancels last minute.

Will you help me keep Mahallah the down-home business that its been for decades? When you're making your pet's next appointment, please, please take a moment to consider if that day and time is truly going to be something you can commit to. Then use that fancy little computer in your hand that we still call a phone and set yourself a few reminders in your calendar ;)

It's truly our privilege to be able to do what we love for a living and to be here for our community! Help us continue to be able to do that 🐾💖

🚧 For our clients coming from East York:

It looks like CapeHorn Rd may be closed for the near future due to a bad accident at CH and Old Dutch Rd yesterday evening. Please plan a few extra minutes into your trip to accommodate whatever alternative route is set up. Thank you!

Ruh-Roh!
We just found out that some of you have been trying to call us this morning and can't get through. We checked with Comcast and have been informed there is system maintenance going on for the next few days. Sorry for any frustration or confusion, but we're still here for your pups appointment 🐾
