🐾 Attention Muddy Pawz and Snazzy Snouts Grooming Clients! 🐾

Fleas have never been much of an issue in our area, but this year has been a different story 😱! We are now seeing fleas in our shop at least once a week, sometimes even more.
We kindly ask that you please check your dogs for fleas, ticks, and lice before bringing them in for their grooming appointments. If you find any, please treat your pet before coming into the shop.
Keeping our salon clean and bug free is important for the health and safety of every dog that comes through our doors. ❤️
Moving forward, if we discover fleas, ticks, or lice during your dog’s appointment and have to treat them, an additional treatment and cleaning fee will be charged accordingly.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us keep Muddy Pawz and Snazzy Snouts a safe, clean, and happy place for all our furry clients!

🐾 Thank you!
Krissy and Shelby 🐶

Just a little heads up to all of my amazing clients! 🐾💕

My schedule may be a little inconsistent over the next few weeks because we are very impatiently waiting for my daughter to have her baby! 👶🏼🤍

I plan to keep appointments as scheduled as much as possible, but there may be times when I need to reschedule or make last minute adjustments. I’ll always do my best to give as much notice as I can.

Thank you so much for being patient and flexible with me while our family welcomes this sweet little one. 🥹🤍

Humanity Over Vanity
In dog grooming, humanity over vanity means always putting your pet’s physical and emotional well-being above appearance or “perfect” looks.
It’s the choice to:
• Leave the face slightly damp instead of drying it bone-dry
• Scissor the legs for a softer finish rather than running clippers over sensitive skin
• Shave out matting instead of brushing it out aggressively
This philosophy is the result of deep knowledge, refined skill, proven technique, years of experience, and genuine compassion.
By choosing humanity over vanity, we help create a confident, trusting dog who associates grooming with positive experiences instead of fear. We never want to push a dog to its breaking point—shaking, panting, crying, pooping, biting, or vomiting from stress. That’s not grooming; that’s trauma.
Our shared goal as groomer and owner is to help the dog, not hinder them. Open communication is essential. Ask your groomer how they handle your dog’s specific needs:
• Will they hold the dog down and push through the groom?
• Will they brush until both the dog and groomer are exhausted and upset?
• Or will they slow down, offer breaks, adjust their approach, and shave matting when necessary?
The best groomers understand that a slightly less “fluffy” or “perfect” dog who leaves happy and relaxed is always better than a beautifully groomed dog who is terrified of the next appointment.
Humanity over vanity isn’t about cutting corners—it’s about doing what’s right for the dog.

Just sending this reminder out due to the amount of no shows I had this week. I will be enforcing my policies. Thank you ☺️

A dog can be perfect for one groomer and terrified for another. That does not make them bad .
That does not make them difficult. That also does not mean they should be forced through it.
Dogs know who they feel safe with.
They feel energy.
They feel pressure.
They feel patience.
They feel when someone is truly listening. And when someone is just trying to get it done.
Not every dog is meant for one groomer. And you know what? That’s okay. 🥰🥰🥰
