We have been contacted by a number of customers due to a post by another local groomer in regards to opening earlier than the current date of May 26th as stated in the governor's order. We have contacted local authorities and they have told us the following: "In reviewing the Governor’s Safer At Home Order #12 and his updated order which is to take effect on Friday, Pet Groomers are clearly considered non-essential businesses and should not be open for business. I have seen nothing in any of the orders that calls for a May 5th opening of Pet Grooming Businesses, with this being such a fluid situation those things are always subject to change with little notice. If ************************** (redacted) Pet Grooming opens in violation of the Governor’s Order they would be visited by Law Enforcement and we would issue a cease and desist letter from the Health Department. We have had to deliver a number of those to various businesses throughout this crisis. We know how tough it is for everyone, including the business community. Most have been very good and compliant with the Health Orders, with everyone’s help and a lot of prayers we will get through this soon."
It is our hope that everyone will contact their veterinarian if there pet is in need of medical attention and continue to comply with the current safer at home order, whether in agreement or not, to promote lawful compliance and unnecessary contact for our officials that are considered essential and carrying out their duties as required.
