Updates!

No groom expo this year, so I'll be open those dates, but I added another couple days off in November. Again - this list is subject to change.

Stay safe in the heat, folks!

And please, google "pet heat safety" - there's way too much for me to list here.

Also, I mean it when I say learn how to recognize heat related medical emergencies and how to treat them!

So, here are a few dates that I know for sure I will be closing early or closing entirely.

Obviously, these dates may change and others may be added. Any additions or changes will be noted in separate posts AND this post will be updated as well.

Got some changes rolling out for June. For most of my regulars, especially those on re-booking schedules, the prices won't change too much... but they WILL unfortunately be changing.

More to come on this over the next week, including details about the de-shedding services! Website should be updated by late next week as well.

Limerick had a ball at Pet Fest in Downtown Glens Falls today, and got lots of love walking around. He was on his best behavior: I'm very proud of him!

And for those of you wondering where Dublin and Bailee were, they did not come to Pet Fest this year. For their own safety and wellbeing, and for everyone's sanity, I rarely bring all three dogs anywhere together - I mean, there's a reason I refer to them as The Three Stooges!

Instead, we tackle events like this one-on-one so I can focus on each dog individually while we're out. (I think they actually prefer it this way!) And today was just too warm by the time we were ready to switch. I was also exhausted, thanks to recent health issues.

So, instead, Bailee and Dublin will have the chance to debut their fun colors and have some fun at their own events this summer. Dublin is probably going to Glens Falls Pride again. And Bailee will either get to go to Saratoga Pride or LARAC.

Weather depending, of course. And if there are more events I think they'll enjoy during the summer, you might see us there too!

I told them that it's almost time for Pet Fest! I don't have the heart to say it's tomorrow, though.

We don't have a booth this year, but we'll be there for the fun: Who will we see there?

Yesterday was Dublin’s turn for some color!

This dog is a superstar for putting up with this one lol. I had to band off each section of hair on his legs and then apply each color separately to get this effect - he was on the table for a good two hours, at least.

But don’t worry, he got lots of breaks! And now he’s ready for Pride!

Getting everyone ready for all the events we have coming up! Starting with Mr Limerick, modeling a new design: the rainbow zebra (or tiger)!

Dublin is up next (likely tomorrow) and we might go back in with Lim at some point to darken those colors a bit if we have time.

Do I offer dye services in the shop? I sure do! But please note that I'm fairly NEW at this, and still practicing. I can't guarantee exact outcomes, and will only be able to work with pets who are comfortable with the grooming process and who do not have any skin conditions or allergies.

What dye do I use? I use Opawz semi-permanent dye, it is the only dye I have experience with and recommend. It is pet safe and lasts up to 12 washes on most coats. It doesn't run when wet. But please note that if we don't cut it out, it can last for MONTHS.

What is the process to dye a dog? The dog must be clean and dry, so I usually bathe first. If it's a long coated dog, I will clip down first as well as I've found that the colors pop more then the coat is shorter AND I can get crisper/neater lines. Then I will apply the dye while the dog is on my table. It then has to SIT on the dog for up to 30 minutes before I can bring them to the tub and rinse them (until the water runs clear). I will usually shampoo them again as well, before blow drying and finishing off the haircut.

How long does it take? Depending on the design, number of colors, etc it can take as little as an additional 20-30 minutes OR up to an additional hour.
