Attention Pet Owners: Pre-Book Your Grooming Appointments! 🐾

As my August is booked and September schedule starts to fill up, I want to emphasize the importance of pre-booking your dog’s grooming appointments. I know many of you are used to me squeezing in last-minute baths or grooms, but with my current demand, that’s becoming increasingly challenging.

Here’s What You Need to Know:

• Booking Times: I’m currently booking about three weeks in advance for weekday appointments and around six weeks for weekends.

• Plan Ahead: If you have a specific day or time in mind, it’s essential to schedule your dog’s next appointment when you pick them up after their grooming session. This not only helps in maintaining their coat but also keeps them on a regular grooming schedule.

• Cancellation List: I do maintain a cancellation list, so if you’d like to be added in case an appointment opens up, just let me know!

I genuinely appreciate your understanding as I navigate these changes. Thank you all for your continued support! Let’s keep those tails wagging and those coats looking fabulous! 🐶✂️

❤️🐾 Happy Wednesday, everyone! 🐾🤍

We want to inform our wonderful customers that Dirty Pawz will be closed on Friday, July 3rd, and Saturday, July 4th, as we celebrate the holiday with our loved ones. Additionally, we’re fully booked until the end of July, so we highly recommend prebooking your appointments! It’s becoming increasingly difficult to accommodate last-minute requests. We’re truly grateful for the love and support from our amazing customers that keeps us so busy and blessed!

🐾 The April showers have truly worked their magic, bringing us beautiful May flowers! 🌻 I wanted to inform our wonderful customers that Dirty Pawz will be closed from Thursday, May 21st, through May 25th for Memorial Day weekend. During this time, I’ll be deep cleaning and making some renovations to the shop, as well as taking a moment to my staff a well-deserved long weekend. A special thank you to Sue Stillwell for her wonderful idea to beautify our charming town; it has definitely brightened my spirits. ❤️🧡💛

🐾 Just a heads up, Dirty Pawz is fully booked until early June.

🐾 As always, I appreciate your love and support. Much love, always and forever!

After 5 years of serving our community, I’ve learned a valuable lesson: it’s impossible to make everyone happy. As someone who genuinely cares about our customers and their pets, this realization took time. I appreciate all feedback, and I want to emphasize the importance of direct communication.

If you’re ever dissatisfied with our services, please reach out to us directly before posting on social media. We value your concerns and want the opportunity to address them personally.

Remember, we’re human too, and we work closely with animals who can be unpredictable. Your understanding and support mean the world to us as we strive to improve and provide the best care for your furry friends.

Thank you for being part of our journey!

Love always and forever
Nikki

Hello! I’m Nikki, the proud owner of The Dirty Pawz. My grooming journey began at 19, right after high school, when my parents encouraged me to explore a trade. I attended the Academy of Dog Grooming Art in Arlington Heights, where my passion for grooming truly took flight.

At 21, I co-founded my first business, Canine Corner, and also developed a pet grooming product called Black Gold—an all-natural, organic styptic powder for wound healing. This venture allowed me to travel the world, attending pet grooming trade shows, where I gained invaluable experiences and insights, even though it didn’t quite take off as planned.

After dedicating a decade to Canine Corner, I decided it was time to spread my wings and start my own business. Now, at The Dirty Pawz, I’m excited to provide a welcoming and professional grooming experience for all pets.

On a personal note, happily married and a mom to a wonderful 13-year-old boy named Jaxon. When I’m not grooming, I love to travel, with Costa Rica holding a special place in my heart as my favorite destination.

I invite you to join us at The Dirty Pawz, where we treat every pet like family!

**Meet Belle! 🌟**

We’re thrilled to have Belle as part of the Dirty Pawz team! Joining us in July 2025, Belle brings a wealth of enthusiasm and a heartwarming story that inspires her work. After spending a year honing her grooming skills, she’s dedicated to ensuring every pet feels safe, cared for, and understood.

Belle’s journey into grooming was sparked by her beloved rescue dog, Dunkin. Her love for Dunkin drives her passion for making pets feel special during their grooming experience.

**Fun Fact:** Belle loves Dunkin’ Donuts so much that she named her dog after the iconic treat! 🍩

Come visit Belle at Dirty Pawz and let her shower your furry friend with love and care!
