Paws for Perfection WI

I just wanted to praise this pretty girl! This is Sagan. She first came to me in September of last year at my nail trim event. She was not having it for her nails, thrashing, fighting, even got me in the thumb. I let her owners know I am more than willing to work with her, but it will take a lot of consistency on both our parts. We did her nails every 4-5 weeks, taking her off of Acepromazine, which she was on that first appointment, and switching her to trazadone and gabapentin. Not worried about getting every nail every time, but building that trust with tons of praise. Her owners Joe and Sam Calliari worked at home with desensitizing her, playing with her feet, individual toes, bringing nail trimmers closer to her and eventually tapping them on her nails. The last couple nail trims we haven't had her medicated at all, no muzzle or anything. Last night with her appointment we trimmed every toe, with tons of praise and popcorn. That is a major accomplishment for her, and I am so proud of her. She has come a long way since day one and she deserves all the recognition for her bravery and hard work getting to this point ❤️

This goes for my clients as well. When dropping off or picking up my primary parking is in front of the two garage doors.

Exciting news! Plumbing will be completed this Friday! I have to move everything to the new location yet once it is complete, so appointments 11/02 and after will be at the new location at 100 Stimpson Street! I will be working on getting out a text with the announcement over the weekend to let everyone know, for anyone who may not be on here to see the post, also your appointment reminders will have the updated address 😊

I do have a good handful of appointments available in November before Thanksgiving and a few sporadic ones in December so if you don't have your appointments set, contact me asap to get your spots!

I'm sooo excited for this next step and am so thankful for everyone who has supported me throughout the past few years ❤️

Gave Miss Sylvie a makeover today!

Some dogs come with a few extra needs, and Sylvie is one of them. ❤️

At 8 years old, Sylvie has spent most of her life living outside, so she never had the opportunity to learn all of the things that come naturally to dogs who have grown up in a home. Despite our best efforts, she has never become fully house trained and may still have occasional accidents. Her future family will need to be patient, understanding and willing to work with her rather than expecting perfection.

Sylvie also has a special medical need that will be part of her everyday care. She requires prescription urinary food to help keep her healthy, which can cost several hundred dollars a month. This is a significant commitment, and we want to be upfront about it so we can find the right family for her.

We know that's asking a lot. But we also know that Sylvie has so much to give in return.

She is a sweet, loving girl who wants nothing more than a comfortable home, a soft place to sleep and someone to share her days with. Her cuddles, companionship and lovely personality are worth every bit of the extra effort.

If you think you might be the person Sylvie has been waiting for, please fill out an application on our website: www.whsadopt.org/adopt

Worked on painting the new salon today! Pretty awesome what a little paint can do! There's still a lot of work to be done but I'm so excited to see the progress. Peep Cassandra being the fabulous unicorn she is ❤️
✨she will have her own post introducing her addition to the team ✨

I wanted to go over some of the exciting things to come:

🐾 I will have a front lobby!
~I will have a front desk and check in area at the end by where the garage door is.
~ I do ask that when you arrive for pick up, please still notify me so that if I'm not quite finished with your pup, they don't get distracted and I can finish their groom safely ❤️
~I ask that pickups still be prompt within the time frame given with completion texts, unless discussed before hand, in which I can hold your pup for a reasonable amount of time. Late pickups past 15 minutes may incur a late pickup fee

🐾 I will be offering one on one and express grooming!
~We will still be a low-volume salon
~If you would like to keep one on one appointments, let me know and I will schedule as such
~There will not be extra fees for booking as one on one
~Express grooming will still be straight through, however appointments will be staggered where once one dog is bathed and dried, the next appointment will arrive to start their bath and dry while the other completes their groom
~There will be no more than two dogs at a time, unless there are multiple dogs in one household dropping off together in which case that family will be the only ones scheduled for that time frame
~I will have kennels that will only be used if someone is late picking up, or if there is a situation where a pup is too stressed with the velocity dryer that we may use a kennel dryer
*kennels will be within eyesight at all times with constant monitoring if/when in use

🐾 New hydraulic tub and bathing system!
~I have ordered a new hydraulic tub that will be great for pups that are nervous about climbing up steps and ramps that are on many grooming tubs
~New bather box bathing system which will help us to bathe dogs more quickly and efficiently

If anyone has any questions please ask away and I will be more than happy to answer! Official launch date TBD, but will continue to update as things tie together ❤️
