Gearing up for the HOWLiDays!

Hello Matted Doodle friends!

Before we all get swept away by the holiday season and wake up to find ourselves in 2024, I want share some updates and reminders to help make your pup's groom the easiest thing on the to-do list!

Farewell for now to our friend Morgan the groomer
Due to the current limitations of our grooming space being unable to accommodate two full-time groomers, Morgan accepted another job that would be able to offer her full time employment. Morgan is a fantastic groomer with one of the kindest hearts and I hope one day our grooming paths will cross again.

Holiday Business Hour
Sunday - Thursday 7:00am to 5:30pm
Friday and Saturday Appointments by Request Only

You will be able to schedule your appointments through the booking site for Sunday - Thursday; all Friday and Saturday appointments will have to be scheduled through me.

Booking for the Holidays
I highly recommend booking your pet's grooming appointments through the rest of the year. Since The Matted Doodle is a one woman show of grooming and managing the studio, pre-booking grooming appointments and using the online site really helps me out. Especially during the busiest time of the year.

Here are some tips for booking your pet's holiday appointments:
*Plan around the holidays are as well as when you have guest arriving or trips planned.

*If your family has holiday photos scheduled with your pet, plan any type of grooming appointment before then to have a photo ready pup.

UPDATED Best way to contact The Matted Doodle
Text 314-612-0881 - the best way to communicate with me.

Hey friends! Today was my first day back in the grooming studio after taking the week off to spend time with family and celebrate Finn’s 13th birthday!

I’m working through messages and I hope to get back to everyone by tomorrow night but feel free to follow up with me if you are waiting for a reply.

Here’s a small photo recap of what my time away looks like- including my high score on the TMNT pinball machine at Atomic Pinball 🧙‍♂️

Today we doodled!
Can you spot the non-doodle dog?

Looking for advice on how to keep my birds of paradise going strong!

She’s been with me since I opened the grooming studio and I want to make sure I’m doing right by this beautiful plant. She really grown in the last few months when I repotted her in a bigger container. Her stalk is really leaning - should I try to put a support in or repot it?

Should I give her some fertilizer?

Should I take it to a nursery to have a “spa day”?

what do you think- bring her to you all?

(I kinda feel like a first time dog mom looking at my matted doodle here, 😂😂😂)

My back may hurt and I might be picking husky hair out of my eyes but I honestly can’t imagine doing anything else.

I know I’m doing exactly what I was built to do.

FOUND pup in the Carondelet/Holly Hills area!

She is microchipped but the owner info is not up to date. Her name is Gwyneth, she’s 1 years old. She’s very sweet and friendly!

She is currently being kept by a neighbor. Please DM me if you recognize this sweet girl!
