Spring Greetings from Kmetz’ Hawthorne Kennel!

🌸 As the flowers bloom and the days grow warmer here in Streator, IL, we’re excited to welcome the vibrant energy of spring at Kmetz’ Hawthorne Kennel Pet Boarding and Grooming! Whether you’re planning a family getaway or just need a pamper day for your furry friend, remember: We are here for you and your pet. Kitties are always welcome too – we love our feline guests just as much as our canine companions!

🐶 With the change in seasons, we’ve noticed more dogs coming in with fleas. Don’t let these pesky critters ruin the fun! Our expert grooming team recommends proactive flea prevention to keep your pet comfortable and itch-free. Plus, our popular shedless treatments are perfect for this time of year – they help reduce shedding and prevent hair from becoming impacted, leaving your pet’s coat smooth, healthy, and ready for all those outdoor adventures.

📅 Book your boarding or grooming appointment today and let us handle the care while you enjoy the spring sunshine. Give us a call or stop by – your pet’s tail-wagging happiness is our top priority!

Warm regards,

🐾 HOLIDAY ALERT from Kmetz’ Kennel! 🐾
The countdown to Christmas is ON, and we’re making sure your pets steal the show at every family gathering, holiday card photo, and cozy couch cuddle session! 🎄✨

Susan and our incredible 5-STAR groomer Cheri are both here and ready to turn your furry family members into absolute holiday heart-breakers… but the magic actually starts with our bath-time queen, April! 👑🛁

April has been loving on your dogs and cats for 18 YEARS (yes, eighteen!!) as our lead bather. She’s the gentle, patient, miracle-worker who gets even the most nervous or wiggly babies squeaky clean, fully fluffed, and totally relaxed before they ever hit the grooming table. There’s no one on the planet we trust more to start every spa day with hugs, warm water, and the best suds in town!
And right now, we’re putting April’s bath magic to work with our famous Shedless Blowout — the gift that keeps on giving (way less fur on your furniture and festive outfits all season long!).

❄️ CHRISTMAS SPECIAL ❄️
Get $10 OFF any Shedless Blowout treatment now through January 2nd!
Perfect for doodles, shepherds, huskies, golden retrievers, long-haired cats… anyone who leaves a snowstorm of fur behind!

This fan-favorite treatment (thanks to April’s deep-clean bath + high-velocity blowout) washes away loose undercoat, leaves the coat shiny and soft, dramatically cuts shedding for weeks, and has your pet smelling like a winter wonderland dream. Your house (and your black pants) will thank you!

With Susan, Cheri, and April all on decked out in holiday cheer, spots are booking faster than reindeer on Christmas Eve!
Message us, or call us, and we’ll get your baby scheduled for their holiday glow-up! 🎅🐾
Kmetz’ Kennel — where tails wag, purrs never stop, and April gives the best baths in history, and pets leave looking merry & bright! ❤️💚
