Alder Branch Groom and Board

03/01/2026

My condolences goes out to the staff and family of Dr. Torbeck. He was a great vet that cared about all his patients and everyone that came into his clinic. He will be greatly missed. He was a big part of our small community.

We are saddened to announce the loss of
Doctor Kent Torbeck
As much as we would love to call all of you individually, that’s just not possible with thousands of clients.
Doc was a wonderful veterinarian for over 30 years serving Lamar and Stockton.
We will miss him dearly.
Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

As far as what the future holds we have no clue right now, we are just trying to get through today. 💙

We will know more next week on how to proceed
We will be closed today

Ok everyone we have had several of you use the booking online which is fantastic . Now that we have been doing it this way for a few weeks now would like to note that if choosing a full groom all of the basic services are included ( ears, nails, bath) no need to add those services. If you happen to no big deal they can be removed but have gotten feed back that a text is being sent that your appointment has been canceled. It is not just only those extra services where removed. If there is a special shampoo you would like used like deskunking or flea and tick just add that in the any specifications area.
Thank you to everyone willing to try out this new way of booking. It has really helped fast track making appointments for I'm not always able to take phone calls or have the best reception. But if you do have any questions don't hesitate to call me or my daughter. Thank you 😊

This link will take you to our website where you will create a profile and book your dog for grooming or boarding. Will be using this from now on. Choose an 8am or 10am time slot. If you choose a 9-11am time slot ur appointment will not be approved for that doesnt allow 2 two hour appointments to be booked.
Appreciate all my clients. Thank you!

Sometimes, our senior clients need a little extra assistance while being groomed, and that's okay. Every client is different, and we try to make them comfortable while still getting the job done.

Im sharing this story because its a perfect example of what we do at Alder Branch for our furry clients and their owners. Don't let your embarrassment keep from getting the care your pup needs. There is no judgment here, just doing what needs to be done for the comfort and health of the animal.

The boss man isn't very good at remembering to take photos of each groom he does. Here is Daisy after hers.

Please call to book an appointment or to board your dog for home away from home.

Please take the time to respond to those text reminders that you should be getting 2 days before your appointment. That helps me be able to plan out my day in advance and possibly move someone who is waiting to an earlier date. 😊 thank you, and much appreciated.

Several openings are open for grooming for this week and next. Please give me a call so that I can take care of your pups before holiday pictures. I look forward to hearing from you for your grooming and boarding needs.
