⚠️ Dryer Safety & Seizures in Pets ⚠️
Today while fluff drying my own dog, Buddy, he began having a seizure during the drying process. Buddy is medicated daily for seizures, but like many epileptic pets, he can still experience breakthrough episodes.
This is an important reminder that even pets who are familiar and comfortable with grooming can become overstimulated. The combination of loud dryer noise, airflow, vibrations, handling, and the overall grooming environment can sometimes trigger stress or neurological responses in sensitive pets.
For some pets, especially those with seizure disorders or anxiety, grooming may need to be adjusted based on how they are feeling that day. Watching body language and recognizing early signs of stress is incredibly important.
Today, Buddy told me he had enough — so I stopped and I can continue grooming him another time.
As groomers and pet professionals, our priority is always the safety and wellbeing of the pets in our care. Sometimes that means slowing down, taking breaks, or changing the plan entirely.
If your pet has a history of seizures, anxiety, or sensory sensitivity, let your groomer know before appointments so accommodations can be made to help keep them safe and comfortable. 🐾

Friendly reminder to all our amazing clients 🐾

Our schedule fills up FAST — we’re currently fully booked for May and into the end of June! Just yesterday alone, we cared for 16 pets in a single day, and we are truly doing our best to accommodate everyone with the appropriate time and attention each pet deserves.

To help keep things running smoothly, we strongly recommend booking at least two appointments ahead.

For pets on a 3–4 week schedule, it’s especially important to stay ahead — we suggest booking out up to 3 months in advance. This helps keep your appointments consistent on the same day and around the same time, making things easier and less confusing for both you and your pet.

Thank you for keeping us so busy — we appreciate you all! 💜

Over the past two weeks, the number of no-shows and last-minute cancellations has been extremely high, and it needs to be addressed.

When an appointment is missed without notice, that time cannot be filled. This directly impacts our business, our staff, and our ability to serve other clients who are waiting for appointments. As a small business, we still have overhead expenses and employees to pay, regardless of whether a scheduled appointment shows up.

Our policy remains firm:
• No-call/no-shows and same-day cancellations are charged 100% of the scheduled service
• Payment must be made by the end of the day
• Any existing or future appointments will be canceled if the balance is not paid
• Clients with unpaid missed appointments will not be rescheduled until the balance is cleared, and a deposit will be required moving forward

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN SPOKEN TO REGARDING A MISSED APPOINTMENT AND HAVE CHOSEN TO NOT TAKE CARE OF IT, we will NOT be moving forward with future bookings.

We value and respect our clients who show up on time, communicate, and understand the importance of our policies. This allows us to continue providing quality care and service to your pets.

🦷🐾 It’s National Pet Dental Health Month! 🐾🦷

Did you know that by age 3, most dogs and cats show signs of dental disease? 😳 Dental health isn’t just about fresh breath — it directly impacts your pet’s heart, liver, and overall well-being.

In honor of National Pet Dental Health Month, I’m sharing a short video showing:
✔️ How I care for my own dogs’ teeth at home
✔️ The dental products I personally use

Prevention is key! Regular brushing, dental chews, water additives, and professional cleanings all play an important role in keeping your pet healthy and pain-free.

✨ Why it matters:
• Reduces plaque & tartar buildup
• Prevents painful infections
• Helps avoid costly dental procedures
• Supports long-term overall health

I will attach a Chewy link for the toothpaste below. If you search by Virbac, all of their dental products are excellent and very reliable.
While my greyhounds cannot have the VeggieDent chews, they do very well with Crump’s Plaque Busters thanks to the limited ingredient formula.
ProDen PlaqueOff is another great option. They offer chewable tablets that are easy to give, but I personally use the powder once daily on their food for consistent dental support.
Keeping up with at-home dental care makes a huge difference between professional cleanings! 🦷✨

❄️ Winter Coat Care Reminder ❄️

Snow days are fun, but they can be tough on longer coats! If your pup has any length of hair, it’s important to comb them out after being out in the snow.

Be sure to use a comb (not just a brush) and give extra attention to these common trouble spots where matting forms quickly after snow play:
🐾 Between the toes
🐾 The backs of the feet near the carpus pad
🐾 From the hocks down

Snow, ice, and moisture can tighten tangles fast, and a quick comb-through at home can make a huge difference in keeping your dog comfortable and their coat healthy.

As always, feel free to reach out if you have questions about coat care or need the right tools recommendation! 💕🐶
