A Little Life Update & Holiday Grooming Schedule 🐾🤍

If I haven’t seen you lately or haven’t had a chance to tell you personally, I have a little life update to share… I’m pregnant and we’re expecting our sweet baby in November! 🥰

With baby arriving soon, I only have a couple of openings left in October for full grooms, so if your pup needs to get in before my maternity break, please reach out soon!

I’ll be taking some much-needed time off during November & December to rest, enjoy the holidays, and spend time with our new baby. Because of that, I will not be offering full grooms during those two months and plan to return full swing in January.

However, Brandon will still be here throughout November & December offering baths, feet/face/fanny trims, and basic maintenance to help keep your pups clean, comfortable, and looking their best through the colder months. ❄️

Thank you all so much for your patience, understanding, and continued support of our small business. We’re so excited for this next chapter and appreciate you giving us a little time to soak it all in with our new baby. 🤍

If you need a full groom before my time off, October is the month to get on the books! 🐾

🎉 5 YEARS IN BUSINESS! 🎉

Today, we just want to take a moment to say THANK YOU. ❤️

Five years ago, we started this journey with a love for dogs and a dream of building something of our own. We never could have imagined how much this business would grow or how many amazing people and pups would become such a special part of our lives.

Every appointment, referral, review, recommendation, and returning client has helped us get to where we are today. We truly don’t take a single one of you for granted. You’ve trusted us with your fur babies, supported our family, and allowed us to do what we love for a living—and that means more to us than we can put into words. 🐾

Five years is a huge milestone, but we aren’t stopping here. We’re always looking for ways to improve, grow, and provide an even better experience for both you and your pups. We have a lot of exciting things we want to accomplish in the years ahead, and we’re so grateful to have you along for the ride.

Thank you for 5 incredible years. Here’s to many, many more! 🐶🤍

With love and appreciation,
Thank you for trusting us with your best friends. 🫶🏼

Hi Friends! Good news/bad news 😬

At this time, we are not accepting any new full groom clients. In order to maintain the level of consistency, quality, and care that you and your pups expect from us, we’ve had to make the tough decision to pause adding any additional full groom appointments.

The good news — we are still accepting bath and nail services as always! 🛁🐕 So if your pup just needs a freshen-up we’ve got you covered.

We’re incredibly grateful for all of your support and trust in us. It truly means everything to our family and our business. ❤️

If anything changes down the road, we’ll be sure to update everyone!

Thank you for understanding!

One of the most common things I hear from families is, “I just hope they pass naturally in their sleep.” And I understand that feeling so deeply. The idea of a peaceful, quiet passing at home is what we all wish for the animals we love.

But I also feel a responsibility to share something many people don’t realize.

Natural death is rarely as peaceful as the movies make it seem. In reality, the body often struggles as organs begin to fail. Breathing can become labored, anxiety can increase, and discomfort can grow. Our pets don’t understand what’s happening to them. They just know something feels very wrong.

Euthanasia, at its core, means “good death.” It is one of the most compassionate gifts veterinary medicine can offer. Instead of waiting for suffering to take over, we are able to provide a calm, pain-free passing surrounded by the people who love them most.

That said, none of this is simple. There is no perfect moment. Loving someone so much that you must choose their last day is one of the heaviest decisions a heart can carry. Some families wait too long because the thought of letting go is unbearable. Others worry they might be too early. And some choose to let nature take its course. Every decision is made from a place of love.

There is no shame here. Only love and grief and the impossible responsibility of caring for a life that cannot speak for itself.

My hope is simply that families consider what a good death truly means. Not the one that is easiest for us emotionally, but the one that spares our beloved companions fear, pain, and distress in their final moments.

If love alone could keep them here, they would live forever. Since it cannot, the greatest act of love we can sometimes offer is a peaceful goodbye.

And if you’re ever facing that decision, please know that you don’t have to carry it alone. Never hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to talk you through it. ❤️

🌸 Spring is here and grooming season is in full swing! 🐾

As of right now, our schedule is booked out until about mid-April, and the earliest weekend date available is mid-June. If your pup is needing a groom, please reach out soon so we can get them on the schedule!

I also highly recommend pre-booking multiple appointments ahead of time to make sure you always get a day and time that works best for you and your pup. This helps keep them on a consistent grooming routine and prevents missing out on spots when things get busy!

Thank you all so much for keeping me busy and trusting me with your fur babies. I appreciate every one of you! 🐶🫶🏼est ail
