Caring for 1 week old (ish) kittens.

For all those with animals penned outside - dog, chicken, rabbit, goat... I don't care

Does your pen have SHADE and WATER?
Even farm animals need a reprieve from this weather or they can face deadly overheating.

I've come to the home of more than 1 family who are accidentally hurting animals that they obviously care about. A tarp for shade can be the difference between life and death

This is NOT me
But us small pet businesses support one another and this is a GREAT community service.
Get your pet groomed, even if you can't afford to. For their health.
Someone else? Please consider intentionally overpaying to compensate Haley for her community service.
There is no tax on tips.

Don't forget the Lyons event will be the 22nd of June!

Just pay what you can (even if thats nothing)!

Baths, nails, full grooms, brush outs or even just shave downs. Cat shaves too! As well as caged critters nails!

Many other things going on like treats and collars/leads for sale as well as basket raffle!!

Emily's Home Pet Care has been advised for about the 5th time in the past week that I should raise my prices.

I will proudly be ignoring that advice, as I have for over 4 years.

I'm doing just fine. I have enough clients for it to add up.

Not all of my clients are. For their sake and that of their pets, my prices remain frozen, but I accept tips from those that can afford to give them.
I appreciate the ego boost from the new client's whose eyes pop out of their head in pleasant surprise. That's pretty satisfying payment too.

The real trouble is expansion... How many pets can I handle? I still think training other's to do what I do is the next logical step...

Happy Mother's Day!

I haven't bothered updating my grooming portfolio in years...

Any clients want to help me get a jump start on refreshing it by commenting with a picture of a pet of yours shortly after I've groomed them?

Today is the 4th Year since the official incorporation / launch of this business!

It was a rough start. The first winter, my slow season still, I went weeks in a row without appointments.
Was I failing?
With the help of friends and family I survived that winter without having to quit the dream and get a day job.

I'll now boast - it's my anniversary! I have over 400 clients and was busier this last winter than I was 2 summers ago. I can not keep all the names and faces straight and apologize for that... but my goodness I love you guys.

Thanks for helping me build such a rewarding career
