About
I LOVE seeing a dog enjoy the full-day-SPA treatment and observing how they feel during the entire transformation. I usually take a photo at drop- off and then another at groom's finish and send Before , After pics to the client. Clients are amazed with their dogs beautiful groom. They can see the dogs ego is boosted too by the way they look into the camera! I give out extra little perks too...toys, bows, bandanas, other adornments & creative perks as I think of them or desire to share..or even see a need...such as special situations for rescue dog's needs.
I enjoy the challenge of working with each dog that I have the honor to meet & work with. Every dog is a unique individual SPIRIT, with his or her own personal likes & dislikes- just the same as humans. I take my time with the dog as needed. I make space in my life to take notice of and respect interspecies communication. Additionally for each & every dog: Not only do I write client-intake cards, but I also keep a dated notebook on the day's groom for each dog.. I take a few moments before we start the groom, to really inspect your dog's general hair & skin condition. I then create a PLAN for your dog exclusively for that day your dog comes in for my grooming. I create a quick check -off -list of the steps I will take ( types of shampoo & conditioner) or any special add-ons I will do for your dog's grooming needs..( example warts, flea or tick removal, other special topical treatments..paws, noses, etc.) These are examples of the kinds of things I consider for your dog's personalized needs each & and time your dog comes to me for grooming. A good many of my clients have returned for more than a decade now at a general rate of at least one time every season. ( I don't require it-the Like to!) Another words, I personally tailor the groom you dog will get for the day based on your own dog's considerations: such as dogs skin, hair, age, breed, temperament, special needs: warts, tumors, ear issues etc.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Fill out a basic Client -Intake Contact- Card give important information (useful to grooming) on your dog. Discuss what hair length, type of clip/ style you are looking to achieve. I DO full grooms...Freshen-up grooms.. Sanitary clips. Yes- I clip nails too if the dog allows without too much resistance ( we don't want to stressed-out the dog if it's too traumatic for them) ... I have done many rescue grooms also of extremely neglected & nervous dogs, senior dogs, special needs dogs, even De-Skunking ( if necessary) I can remove thistles...or anything embedded in dogs coat. ( I once removed to my surprise, 2 harnesses: one- over -another actually lost in one dog's very overgrown collie-coat!! I have & do handle some of the toughest matting situations you ever can imagine. I enjoy the challenge and I am gratified to help improve a dogs quality-of-life & health- even If the dog has no human owner or care giver!
