SOUTHSIDE GROOMING·WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 2018·

From growing up “pet-less” to owning three, and getting to care for many others all day, my journey to becoming a Professional Dog Stylist has been anything but boring ! Ever since I was young my sister and

I always begged my parents for a pet, more specifically a dog of our own. While it wasn’t practical for our lifestyle growing up, I jumped on the chance to adopt a cat when I moved out of Mom and Dad’s house. The excitement of a new responsibility was great, and within the next 4 years, my husband and I brought home 2 more (a dog and another cat)! Always aiming to be the best “pet mom” out there, I was constantly researching about what I could do to better their lifestyles. This led me to my first job in the animal industry, at a pet store in Ottawa. I learned so much working there and got to meet so many wonderful pets and their owners, but it still felt like something was missing. After two years on the sales floor, some wonderful ladies in the back convinced me to give things a shot in the grooming salon. Little did I know I would be stepping into a whole new world, and beginning one of the best chapters of my career ! From feeling like I didn't know what I was doing for months and constantly seeking help and advice, to having new found confidence when a dog showed up and I knew exactly what to do. I had a ton of fun learning in Ottawa, and couldn’t believe how much more I learned when we moved to Northern Ontario and worked in a whole new salon. Changing shops really opened up my eyes to the industry; how diverse the skills and techniques are, and how there is always SO much more to learn ! When the opportunity arose to return to Alberta I was ecstatic, especially being able to continue grooming after moving out here. After 2 1/2 years back in my home province, the next step has arrived and I am finally working for myself. I am so looking forward to pampering your dogs at Southside Grooming, continuing my education in the grooming industry, and helping improve the lives of your fur babies as well. I can’t wait to share the journey with you and your dogs. And the best part about this journey - it feels like it is always just beginning. 🐾

I’m sitting here looking at the beautiful flowers from Zoe’s mom, but she’s already looking ahead to Christmas! (Or her mom out the window, I’ll never tell 😉) But this is a great reminder to make sure your appointments are booked for the year. December is almost full, so message soon to avoid disappointment!!

Hello everyone!

Many of you may be aware of the developing Canine respiratory situation down in the States, but here is some more information from the VCA Animal Hospitals of Canada.
•
As is always the case for grooming appointments with me, your dog MUST be rescheduled if they are not feeling well. While I do work mainly one on one, I will be working harder to limit crossover between clients, and ask that you are prompt with pickups to help facilitate this. If you would like more than 30minutes notice for pickup, please don’t hesitate to ask!
•
If you have any more questions or concerns regarding the respiratory illness, please reach out to your vet for guidance. If you have any questions or concerns regarding any of my policies or practices, reach out to me via text or messenger anytime. 💜

Alert: While there have been no documented cases of Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex (CIRDC) in Canada, it's important to stay informed about the respiratory illness that is affecting canines in some areas of the United States.

Although the situation is currently confined to the U.S., we encourage Canadian pet owners to be aware and cautious. Diagnostic testing in the U.S. has not yet confirmed the cause of this respiratory illness, but we can take proactive steps to keep your dogs safe.

🛡️ Preventive Measures for Your Dog: Please see below for a few advisories we recommend for helping reduce the risks of canine respiratory exposure and sickness. If traveling to or from the United States, consider reducing your dog's interaction with other canines.
