Anxiety trigger for almost all groomers that we never talk about.🐾
The dreaded question...how long will this take.
45 minutes to 4 plus hours 🤷‍♀️
Scenario
You have a 10 am for Fluff Butt cutie pants.
You come in we talk and if all goes well you pick up Fluff Butt around 12:30... in the mean time... we wash fluff butt and get him drying and the noon appointment shows up at 11:15 so you stop to check them in and chat. You come back to and Fluff Butt has p*ed a river and and is covered in p**p and p*e. So the new dog is put up and Fluff butt is pulled out for another bath. You start bathing and you are covered in soap and someone comes in.
The person to pick up their dog that was ready at 10:30 is here.
You chit chat check them out but you can't start your noon because you have to start over on Fluff.
You are almost done with fluff and the owners call to see why it is taking so long.
All your concentration is on Fluff now.
Your Noon is still not started and you have another dog coming in soon.
You are full of anxiety and rushing which will cause you to send out a bad groom.
Then the phone rings....
Lastly in walks in a dog that isn't matted according to the owner he gets there and welp matted and very territorial of personal space so you have to spend 10 minutes coaxing him out a kennel.
See how this can snowball quick.

I promise we never are trying to keep your dog longer than they should be here.
Nothing happened today but it does every week.
I have heard lots of complaints about my last groomer kept them all day.
Even in the best run grooming salon it happens.
The variables are great.
I promise I will let you know if we have an issue and when they are ready :)

🌞 Morning Pack Post – The Truth Behind What We Do

Good morning Pack Family! 🐾💛
Today I want to shine a little light on something most people never truly see:

✨ The REAL work of a Pet Stylist. ✨

People see the cute dogs, the bows, the bandanas, the fresh cuts…
But what they don’t see is how physically demanding this job really is.

Most groomers handle 5–6 dogs a day…
But our Pack Leader?
💪 She runs an entire pack AND still grooms 10+ dogs every single day.
That takes skill, patience, sp*ed, and a level of strength people don’t even realize.

Grooming is NOT just “washing dogs.”
It’s hours of:

• Power grooming that strains the wrists, shoulders, and back
• Lifting and holding dogs of every size
• Standing all day with no real breaks
• Endless bending, brushing, detangling, drying, clipping, and sc******ng
• Maintaining control of the dog while keeping them comfortable and safe
• Working through matted coats, anxious pups, senior dogs, and unpredictable behavior

And let’s talk facts:
Power grooming can take a serious toll —
🔥 Tendon strain
🔥 Back and neck pain
🔥 Hand cramping
🔥 Fatigue that hits your whole body, even long after work is done

But we still show up.
We still pour love into every groom.
We still make each pup feel their best.
We still give 100% because this is what we were chosen to do.

And our Pack Leader?
She does it with heart, with faith, and with strength that comes straight from above.
Because when God calls you to serve with love, He gives you the endurance to keep going. 🙏🐾

So today…
Show love to your groomers.
Lift them up.
Appreciate the work they pour into every fur baby.
Because this job isn’t easy —
But it’s a blessing to be trusted with your pets. 💛🐾
