Hubbell is one of my favorites, he is so sweet. He gets groomed every 3 wks because his coat is so fine and soft, it tangles easily. See you again soon buddy!

Spent my day grooming Fancy (white Doodle), Trixie (sh*tzu mix), and Ginger (goldendoodle). Now they are ready for summer heat.

My foster kitten has a leg injury (possible abcess) and will be going to the vet in the morning (or sooner if needed- have already been in contact with rescue and vet). Please consider donating to help the rescue cover his vet bill! Partners For Pets Marianna, FL

I have tiny foster floofs from Partners for Pets Marianna. It's a litter of two week old kittens that need to be bottle fed every 2-3 hours. So far so good.

1000% this!

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.

Miss Memphis got a de shed bath blowout and brushing. I love this sweet old girl, she's a total love bug.

Wanted to share a customer testimonial that made me smile:
"LeBron James had a vet appointment yesterday. The doctor could not stop complementing how great he looked. She said that she could tell someone had been taking really good care of his ears, paws and coat. So we totally bragged on you! Vinny came for moral support and she thought he looked wonderful too and was totally digging his mohawk.

Thanks for taking such good care of our boys!"

Freshly groomed, my handsome Oliver got his spring cut (5 on the body, 10 on the face, scissors on top of head and ears.)
