Happy Saturday ☀️🐾

🐾 We love ALL dogs, and we don’t discriminate by breed! ❤️

In fact, we encourage them! We have a special love for our bully breeds and know firsthand what big puddles of mush they can be, while also recognizing just how powerful they are. Every dog deserves to be treated with love, respect, and understanding.

We will NEVER charge more because of a dog’s breed, and we will NEVER turn a dog away because of their breed. Every dog deserves a fair chance, and we’re proud to stand by that. ❤️🐶

‼️Our grooming business is not going anywhere!‼️

This has been an incredibly difficult decision for us to make, and one we haven’t taken lightly. ❤️ Country Mutts Stay & Play

In all honesty, it would probably be a lot easier to walk away from a business that was struggling, but that’s not our situation. We’ve built a successful kennel business, established a name for ourselves, and created something we’re incredibly proud of. We’ve put so much time, hard work, and dedication into building what we have, which makes walking away that much harder. As proud as we are of what we’ve accomplished, sometimes you have to recognize when it’s time to put other things first.

The kennel industry is a 24/7 commitment, and over time, the constant demands can take their toll. Burnout is real, and finding a healthy balance between work and family isn’t always easy when your business never truly stops. Time is precious, and we’ve realized just how important it is to protect the time we have together as a family.

With our family growing, we’re looking forward to a different pace of life. I’m especially looking forward to having my husband home every night instead of only getting two or three hours together before he heads back to work. We want more time with our kids while they’re little, more memories together, and the opportunity to simply enjoy life a little more. As hard as this decision is, we know it’s the right one for our family. ❤️

We’ll always be proud of what we’ve built and thankful for the relationships we’ve created throughout this industry. Our grooming business is not going anywhere! We look forward to continuing to see your familiar faces and your beautiful dogs through our grooming shop.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, trusted us, and been part of this journey. Walking away from something so successful is bittersweet, but we believe there’s more to life than business, and right now, we’re choosing more time, more balance, and more memories with the people who matter most.

We’re sad to close this chapter, but excited for what the future holds. Thank you for being part of our journey. 💜

Please enjoy these pictures of over the years 🐾♥️

This has been an incredibly hard decision to make, but with our growing family, we have to put them first. 💜

We are beyond thankful for all the love, support, and trust you’ve shown us over the years. It means more to us than you know, and we don’t take any of it for granted.

With that being said, we will only ever recommend someone we truly trust and would feel comfortable leaving our own dogs with. For us, that person is Caitlyn at Country Bullies K9. We know your dogs will be in good hands with her, and we couldn’t recommend anyone more confidently. 💜

‼️ Please note this is about our kennel only , this will not effect our existing grooming business on west st. ‼️

💙 An Important Announcement 💙

After many long and difficult discussions, we have made the decision to close this part of our business so that we can focus on creating a healthier work life balance and spend more quality time with our family and kids.

This has not been an easy decision to make. What started as something we loved has grown into something far beyond our wildest expectations, and we are incredibly grateful for everything it has become. Caring for your pets is a 24/7 commitment, and while it has brought us so much joy, we have reached a point where we need to make more room for family life and the moments that matter most.

One of the things that means the most to us is the trust you have placed in us to care for your beloved pets. We know they are more than just animals they are family. Being given the opportunity to welcome them into our lives, care for them, and love them as our own has been an absolute privilege that we will never take for granted.

Every family who has supported us, trusted us, recommended us, and allowed us to be a part of your pets' lives, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You have helped us build something truly special, and we will always be grateful for the friendships, memories, and wagging tails along the way. 🐾

This decision comes with a lot of mixed emotions, but ultimately, we know that family time is precious, and we want to be more present for our own kids as they grow.

Thank you for understanding, for supporting us, and for being part of this journey. We will forever appreciate the love and trust you have shown us. 💙

After spending almost 7 years in this industry we know that not just any place can provide the care your dog deserves which is why we won't recommend just taking your business anywhere, please do your research in where you choose to send your pups. We do recommend as we have worked with them for years now.

With love and gratitude,
Country Mutts Stay & Play 🐾

Happy Thanksgiving friends!
Enjoy the long weekend eating turkey! 🧡🧡

🚫1. Skip the table scraps!
Turkey bones, fatty foods, gravy, and turkey skin can cause serious tummy troubles. Cooked bones can splinter and cause injuries.

🧅 2. Watch out for toxic foods!
Onions, grapes, raisins, chocolate, alcohol, and anything containing xylitol should stay far away from your pups.

🦃 3. Turkey can be a treat!
A little plain, fully cooked, boneless, skinless turkey is usually safe in moderation. Keep seasonings and rich sauces out of the picture!

🍂 4. Keep garbage out of reach.
Turkey carcasses, string, foil, and food scraps can be tempting but dangerous if swallowed.

🚪 5. Be mindful of open doors.
With guests coming and going, make sure your dog can’t sneak outside unnoticed. Keep their ID tags up to date!

🐶 6. Give your pup a quiet space.
Busy gatherings can be overwhelming. Make sure your dog has a cozy spot to relax away from the hustle and bustle.

❤️ 7. Don’t forget the cuddles!
A walk, their favourite toy, or a dog-safe Thanksgiving treat is a great way to include them in the festivities!

From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡

We’re thankful for every furry face that walks through our doors and for all the amazing families who trust us with their pups.

Reign says don’t forget to come by today 9-10 for nails with Shannon and don’t forget to buy a bone or 2 to keep your pups occupied during the thanksgiving festivities!! 🦴

As we roll into the thanksgiving weekend, I want to share how incredibly thankful I am for all my amazing clients.

I’ve been battling a nasty sickness for 2 weeks now, and today it hit me even worse and needed to stay home. I absolutely hate canceling my days, it gives me the most anxiety disappointing you guys. Being pregnant with a head/chest cold and not being able to take anything or able to get a decent nights sleep it started to add up. Thankful for the most patient, understanding and supportive clients ever.

Thank you ♥️

I will be back tomorrow, with that smile on my face ready to groom! All messages and calls will be responded to tonight ♥️🐾
