Thank you for considering Royal K9, LLC for your grooming needs. Below is some information on Royal K9, LLC and policies to better serve you and your dog. Since Royal K9, LLC is a home grooming salon located in my basement I only give out the exact address upon scheduling an appointment. I am located near the cross streets of 76th and Burlingame in Byron Center, Michigan. Please only come by if
you have a scheduled appointment. Rabies information is required prior to setting up an appointment. You can email a copy or text a picture of the certificate. New client paperwork can be filled out online at https://form.jotform.com/211525914437051 or in person at appointment time. I offer one on one grooming so late drop offs may result in the need to reschedule. I ask that you pick up within 15 minutes of a completion call/text so the next dog can have my full attention. For your dog's safety and to respect workers, you can not stay in the home while your dog is being groomed. Please reschedule if your dog is sick, injured, has unexplained skin issues, coughing, sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea, fleas or anything potentially contagious to others. Please check your dog over for signs of fleas before their grooming appointment. Royal K9, LLC is located in my home and therefore can not accept dogs with fleas. Please give 24 hours notice of appointment cancelations or rescheduling. Royal K9, LLC is a holistic, humanity over vanity salon that strives to make as stress free of a grooming environment as possible for your dog. Holistic/humanity over vanity:This means I take the full, physical and mental well being of your dog into consideration during the grooming process and always try to do what is best for them. This could result in matted dogs needing to be shaved and special needs dogs having their appointments broken up into two sessions. I also incorporate positive training techniques into teaching your dog how to behave during the grooming process to help them enjoy their visits. Extra fees that could apply: Late pick ups, no shows, dogs that take longer than normal due to behavior, physical ailments…, a contagious element being discovered on your dog that would need the salon to close for the day to clean. About the groomer
My name is Brooke and I am the owner and sole operator of Royal K9, LLC. I have always had a passion for animals, especially for dogs. I worked as a veterinary assistant for three years before becoming interested in pet grooming. I attended Michigan School of Canine Cosmetology in 2012 and have been grooming ever since. To better understand dogs and pursue another of my passions I later attended Animal Behavior College and received certificates in their dog obedience program, shelter dog training program, pet message, pet CPR, and pet nutrition and diet. I also regularly pursue continuing education at grooming conventions, through books and other sources. I have obtained certificates in workplace safety, the healthy salon sanitation and disease prevention, treatment and prevention of dog aggression: biting and fighting. I previously owned and operated a mobile grooming and training business before transitioning into my home salon and focusing on grooming. I am the proud owner of two Labrador Retrievers and a Husky who love their walks. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s) in the future!
