🎄✨ THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS FAST APPROACHING! ✨🎄

It may feel early, but the holidays will be here before we know it! 🦃🎅🐾
Our holiday grooming schedule fills up VERY quickly, so we highly recommend booking your appointments NOW through the rest of the year to make sure your pup has a spot! ✂️🐶

Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s appointments are some of our busiest of the entire year, and once our schedule is full, we may not be able to squeeze in additional appointments.

📅 Don’t wait until the holiday rush!
If you know your pup will need grooming before family gatherings, photos, parties, or Santa comes to town, now is the perfect time to get those appointments on the books! 🎁🐕✨❤️

🎄 Book ahead. Beat the holiday rush. Keep those pups looking festive and fresh! 🎄

Well, it seems PepeLePew and Penelope are making their rounds visiting everyone right now so be on the look out!

We try to accommodate squeezing in skunked dogs but our schedules are currently very busy and sometimes its truly not possible!

Please understand we absolutely hate not being able to help! If we cannot get you in please feel free to call around for help!
Owosso also now has 3 dog wash stations located in Tractor Supply, Magoos, and Pet Supply Plus! Heres our tried and true skunk recipe!

DO NOT GET YOUR PET WET. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. NO PRE RINSE.
1 quart (4 cups) of 3% hydrogen peroxide
¼ cup baking soda
1 teaspoon liquid dish soap, such as Dawn
Mix solution right before use and do not store after. Put solution on your DRY dog, directly to the worst areas first. DO NOT GET IN EYES OR ALLOW THEM TO LICK IT. let this sit for 5-10 minutes and rinse throughly. Can repeat once more if needed.

We truly hope this helps beat the stink!

Just a heads up to all of our wonderful clients! 🐶🐾
The annual Curwood🎡Festival is happening in downtown Owosso this weekend, so traffic and road closures may cause some delays getting to the salon.

If possible, we recommend avoiding the downtown area during the busiest times. If you do get caught in traffic and are running late for your appointment, please just give us a call and let us know. We completely understand! ❤️

Also, don’t forget the Curwood Festival Parade will be Saturday at 2 PM, so please plan accordingly if you have an appointment around that time.

Thank you all for your patience, and we hope everyone has a fun and safe festival weekend! 🎡🎶
