Kmetz kennel started over 30 years ago. April has been with me as a bather for 18 years. She pampers and plays with all her clients. She is patient to know end with her pups & kitties.

Sue Kmetz would like to introduce Cheri Dye who is our five star groomer joining us in October. Cheri’s cuts are very attractive for each pet. Personalized cuts are her speciality. Cuts are on point even with the wiggliest pups or the feistiest feline.

Kmetz Hawthorne Kennel can accommodate most all dogs or cats. Call 815 672 3871 to book a grooming appointment or kennel for the holidays. We have a holiday special going on $10 off of shed-less blowouts
Well suited for your husky, doodle, German Shepherd,
Golden—any pet (kitties included) who leaves a snow storm of fur behind.

🐾 HOLIDAY ALERT from Kmetz’ Kennel! 🐾
The countdown to Christmas is ON, and we’re making sure your pets steal the show at every family gathering, holiday card photo, and cozy couch cuddle session! 🎄✨

Susan and our incredible 5-STAR groomer Cheri are both here and ready to turn your furry family members into absolute holiday heart-breakers… but the magic actually starts with our bath-time queen, April! 👑🛁

April has been loving on your dogs and cats for 18 YEARS (yes, eighteen!!) as our lead bather. She’s the gentle, patient, miracle-worker who gets even the most nervous or wiggly babies squeaky clean, fully fluffed, and totally relaxed before they ever hit the grooming table. There’s no one on the planet we trust more to start every spa day with hugs, warm water, and the best suds in town!
And right now, we’re putting April’s bath magic to work with our famous Shedless Blowout — the gift that keeps on giving (way less fur on your furniture and festive outfits all season long!).

❄️ CHRISTMAS SPECIAL ❄️
Get $10 OFF any Shedless Blowout treatment now through January 2nd!
Perfect for doodles, shepherds, huskies, golden retrievers, long-haired cats… anyone who leaves a snowstorm of fur behind!

This fan-favorite treatment (thanks to April’s deep-clean bath + high-velocity blowout) washes away loose undercoat, leaves the coat shiny and soft, dramatically cuts shedding for weeks, and has your pet smelling like a winter wonderland dream. Your house (and your black pants) will thank you!

With Susan, Cheri, and April all on decked out in holiday cheer, spots are booking faster than reindeer on Christmas Eve!
Message us, or call us, and we’ll get your baby scheduled for their holiday glow-up! 🎅🐾
Kmetz’ Kennel — where tails wag, purrs never stop, and April gives the best baths in history, and pets leave looking merry & bright! ❤️💚

It is with a heavy heart, that I tell you I have lost my husband, Bobby on October 22, 2024 due to several health issues. Clients will remember the man right next to me in the morning or playing cards on the computer. He was a good man and is missed terribly.
He was a dog's best friend and enjoyed seeing all the different breeds arrive in the a.m.
