Your dog called… they want to look boo-tiful for Halloween. 🎃🐾

Only 4 October appointments remain at River Dog Grooming! If your pup needs a fresh bath, tidy trim, or full groom before Halloween, now’s the time to book.

Planning costumes and photos? Keep these tips in mind:

🐾 Comfort comes first. Costumes should allow easy movement without covering eyes or restricting breathing. If your dog seems uncomfortable, skip the outfit—a festive bandana is cute, too!

🍬 Keep candy out of reach. Save the Halloween sweets for the humans and have dog treats ready for your pup.

✂️ Fresh groom, then costume. A clean, brushed coat and trimmed nails are the perfect finishing touches for those Halloween photos.

One dog. An entire spare dog in the tub. 🫠

Putting Houndsly USA deshedding shampoo to work! Watching that loose coat release is ridiculously satisfying—and yes, I’m a tiny bit obsessed. 🤌🏻🫧

The dog gets the pampering. I get the cleanup. 😂

Alfredo brought home FIRST PLACE at Ocala Pet Palooza, and I will be absolutely unbearable about this. He also got his own portrait by Arts n Tails so naturally we’re letting the fame go straight to his freshly groomed head.

In other news, my husband has been FIRED as my cameraman. Please enjoy this footage of my proudest moment, filmed like he was gathering evidence of Bigfoot.

Coming home with a blue ribbon, a fish with legs, and an opening in our media department. 💅

Someone please tell Alfredo he’s supposed to be upset. He keeps voluntarily clocking in at the alleged crime scene. 🙄🎣

(Ignore the messy table- we had a late night)

Creative grooming isn’t abuse because a dog comes in white and leaves looking like a rainbow trout. 🐟😉 But the dog’s comfort should ALWAYS come before the design.

Here’s how I select dogs for creative grooming:

🐾 Comfort comes first. They must already feel comfortable on my table and with being groomed.

🐾 We build a relationship first. Dogs who aren’t mine must complete at least two regular services before we book a creative groom. This lets me assess their temperament, comfort, and tolerance. Two visits don’t automatically mean they qualify.

🐾 Temperament matters. They need to follow commands, settle without constant fidgeting, and calmly remain on the table without relying on a grooming lead to keep them in place(obviously with me right there supervising)

🐾 We take plenty of breaks. Time to stretch, potty, relax, and just be a dog. Their body language determines our pace.

🐾 Products matter, too. I use coloring products(Opawz) made for dogs and follow their directions.

And Alfredo? He willingly hops onto my table and into my tub with a wagging tail. That willingness, along with his relaxed body language throughout the process, says a lot about how comfortable he feels with me. 💁‍♀️🐟

Not every dog is a candidate, and that’s okay! If a dog is uncomfortable or isn’t tolerating the process, we adjust or stop. Finishing a design is never more important than the dog wearing it. 💙

This one’s 40 pounds, and is legally named Alfredo. Catch and release isn’t an option. He knows where I live. 🐟

🐟🌈 From Poodle to Rainbow Trout! 🌈🐟

Alfredo got a colorful makeover!
From his vibrant colors to his hand-painted spots and dorsal fin, every detail was brought to life with a little creativity! 🎨✂️

Creative grooming is quickly becoming one of my favorite ways to challenge myself!

🎣 What do we think? Did I catch a keeper?!
