🌵🐾 A New Chapter for Cactus Critters 🐾🌵

To my wonderful clients,

After much consideration, I've made the difficult decision to relocate Cactus Critters Pet Grooming and return to a home-based setting.

While this wasn't the direction I had originally envisioned, sometimes circumstances lead us down a different path. Although leaving my current location is bittersweet, I'm looking forward to continuing what I love most about my work: providing personalized, compassionate grooming for your beloved pets.

Cactus Critters isn't closing. We're simply moving! ❤️

The same one-on-one attention, quality care, and dedication you've come to know will continue in our new setting.

I'll share details about the new location and scheduling as everything is finalized.

After 15 years in the grooming industry, one thing remains certain: it's not the building that makes a business special. It's the relationships and trust built along the way.

Thank you for your continued love, loyalty, and support.

Same groomer. Same dedication. New chapter. 🌵🐾

With gratitude,
Cactus Critters Pet Grooming LLC

ATTENTION!!

For accurate and consistent pricing, all pets will now be weighed at each grooming appointment.

Pet weight is one of the factors used to determine grooming rates, along with breed, coat type, coat condition, grooming requirements, and the time and effort necessary to complete the requested services.

We understand that pets may gain or lose weight between appointments. We therefore use the weight recorded at each visit to ensure that the appropriate pricing is applied to the current appointment.

Our goal is to maintain fair, accurate, and consistent pricing based on each pet's individual grooming needs.

🚨🐾 **IMPORTANT PET HEALTH ALERT – NEW WORLD SCREWWORM IN COCHISE COUNTY** 🐾🚨

As many of you may have heard, New World Screwworm (NWS) has been confirmed here in Cochise County, Arizona. This is something we want all pet parents to be aware of, especially those with dogs and cats who spend time outdoors.

There have been confirmed cases involving a dog near Elfrida and a horse near Hereford.

**🪰 WHAT IS NEW WORLD SCREWWORM?**

New World Screwworm is a parasitic fly whose larvae (maggots) feed on the living tissue of warm-blooded animals. Unlike ordinary fly larvae that feed on dead tissue, these larvae invade living wounds and can cause serious, rapidly worsening injuries if not treated promptly.

**🐶 WHAT SHOULD PET PARENTS WATCH FOR?**

Please inspect your pets regularly, paying particular attention to:

• Open wounds, cuts, scratches, or sores.
• Wounds that appear to be getting larger or are draining.
• Maggots or clusters of eggs in or around wounds.
• Unusual irritation, discomfort, or excessive licking.
• Areas around the ears, nose, mouth, and other body openings.

**🛡️ HOW CAN YOU HELP PROTECT YOUR PETS?**

• Check your pets regularly for injuries or unusual wounds.
• Keep wounds clean and seek veterinary attention promptly.
• Keep pets away from areas where flies are especially active when possible.
• Keep your pets current on an appropriate veterinarian-recommended parasite preventative. While preventatives are not a guaranteed protection against New World Screwworm, they can help protect against other external parasites and may provide an additional layer of protection depending on the product used.
• Don't ignore small cuts or scratches.
• If you suspect an infestation, contact your veterinarian immediately. Do not wait for your next grooming appointment.

**❤️ A NOTE FROM CACTUS CRITTERS PET GROOMING**

As professional groomers, we work closely with your pets and often notice changes in their skin, coat, and overall condition. Your pet's health and safety, along with the safety of every animal entering our salon, will always be a priority.

In accordance with our existing salon health and safety policies, **if Cactus Critters inspects a pet and discovers open wounds, suspicious sores, or other concerning skin conditions, grooming services will be denied.**

Clients will be encouraged to have their pet evaluated by their regular veterinarian before returning for grooming.

This policy is not changing, and it is not meant to inconvenience anyone. It is in place to protect your pet, our other furry clients, and our community.

If you notice anything unusual on your pet before an appointment, please contact your veterinarian rather than waiting for grooming day.

As we've been working on the new location, we spotted a cat we believe someone had been missing for awhile. In our attempt to trap this lost girl, we have trapped a couple of kitties that were not her. They will be taken to the Nancy J. Brua animal shelter to see if they are chipped and to recieve veterinary care, however if you know someone who is missing thier kitty in the area of 7th/6th/denam please share so if these babies have a home we can get them reunited.

📢 We’ve Moved! 🐾

Cactus Critters Pet Grooming LLC has officially relocated to our new home:
📍 125 N 6th St, Sierra Vista, AZ 85635

We will resume normal operating hours starting Tuesday, April 14th.

As part of this move, our policies and procedures have been updated. All clients will need to review and sign the updated forms prior to their next scheduled appointment.

We also have an exciting new feature! Our website now includes a client portal, where pet parents can create an account to:
• View their information and their pet’s details
• Make updates as needed
• Schedule appointments
• View appointment history

We kindly ask for your patience during this transition. Arizona Trading is still in the process of remodeling and setting up, with an estimated reopening in June 2026. Depending on conditions during this time, pets may need to be dropped off outside. We will personally es**rt them safely into the salon and bring them back out to you at pickup.

Once remodeling is complete, the Cactus Critters salon will be open for tours and consultations!

Thank you for your continued support—we can’t wait to welcome you and your pets to our new space! 💚🐶
