Our exciting news!! 🥳

🐾 Meet Kelsie! 🐾

Hi, I’m Kelsie! I’ve been grooming for 4 years and have experience working at four different grooming salons, a veterinary clinic, and in mobile grooming. I’m CPR and first aid trained, and I’m passionate about making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. ❤️

I’m a proud mama to my beautiful 4-year-old daughter, who is my entire world, and I have a German Shepherd of my own! Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality.

Some of my favorite breeds are Bernese Mountain Dogs, Rottweilers, and Dobermans. When it comes to grooming, I especially love working with long-haired, deshedding breeds, as well as giving Shih Tzus, Doodles, and Poodles their fresh new haircuts! ✂️🐶

For me, grooming is more than just making dogs look good. It’s about building trust, showing patience, and treating every furry friend like family. I’m so grateful to do what I love and help every pup look and feel their very best! 🐾💕

Give us a call to get scheduled with Kelsie! 🐶✂️💜 319-540-1127 or send us a message.

🐾 Wishing Emma the Best on Her Next Adventure! 🐾

We have some bittersweet news to share! Emma will be leaving the Yappy Hour Pet sPaw team as she begins an exciting new chapter in her career, moving from the pet industry into a customer service position.
Emma has been a wonderful addition to our team, and she will be greatly missed by me and, of course, all the furry friends she has cared for! ❤️ Throughout her time with us, Emma has always made the safety, comfort, and well-being of the pets her top priority. I’m so grateful for the care, kindness, and dedication she has brought to our Yappy Hour family.
While we’re sad to see her go, we’re excited for her and wish her nothing but happiness, success, and wonderful opportunities in this next chapter! 🐶🐾
💌 Please join me in wishing Emma well! If Emma has cared for your pet, made your day a little brighter, or left a paw print on your heart, we’d love for you to leave her a comment below with a kind word, a favorite memory, or some encouragement for her new adventure. Let’s send her off with lots of love and positive wishes! ❤️🐾
Thank you for everything, Emma! You’ll always be a part of the Yappy Hour family! 🐾💕

✨One of the most common questions we get is:

“How often does my dog need groomed?” 🐶✂️

The truth is, it depends on:
💖 Coat type
💖 Desired length
💖 Lifestyle
💖 Maintenance at home

Keeping your pup on a regular grooming schedule helps prevent:

✨ Matting
✨ Excessive shedding
✨ Overgrown nails
✨ Skin & coat issues

Regular grooming also keeps your pup looking, feeling, and smelling their BEST 💎🫧
