Ellie, the Labrador Retriever, came in for a much needed de-shedding treatment!

We’re heading into fall with cooler temps right around the corner but did you know your double-coated pup will have one more big shed of their dead summer coat to make room for their dense winter coat? 🍂🐾

Be sure to add the de-shedding treatment to your dog’s next visit to help reduce shedding on them and in your home!

Ah, the struggle of getting sisters to take a nice picture together 😆

Can you tell which sister loves the camera more?

Peggy, the fluffy shih-tzu mix, has been coming to us for a couple of years now. Her new sister, Winnie, is a three-legged terrier mix that her family recently adopted. She now gets to accompany Peggy for grooming!

They are both so well behaved and really enjoy being able to hang out together in our kennel-free salon.

Bernedoodle puppy, Remi, is going to grow up to be

Bernedoodle puppy, Remi, is going to grow up to be a very large dog with a thick, curly coat that will require daily brushing at home along with routine professional grooming sessions.

Starting Remi young will get her used to the process and teach her that, as a fluffy dog, grooming is just a part of life!

Betty is a terrier mix pup that started coming to us as a teeny tiny puppy. She’s still a little nervous for the grooming process but always gives us a big smile and cuddles when she’s done

😲 Our de-shedding treatment results truly speak for themselves. Kiko is feeling cooler and her owners have less fur to clean up around the house!

A quick time-lapse video of a tight outline trim on a Golden Retriever ✂️

Bailey is a regular client that gets a tight trim to keep her coat more manageable for at home maintenance. It will also help to keep her cooler on these hot summer days!

I’ve wanted to try videoing some of our work and different steps of the professional grooming process for quite some time now. It wasn’t until this appointment that I knew I wouldn’t have any distractions or interruptions- and I knew Bailey would stand perfectly still as she always does!

🎥 What do you all think? Would you like to see more videos in the mix of our usual before and after pics?

We hope you all had a great Fourth of July weekend! 🇺🇸

Elizabeth, the Moyen Poodle, came in for her first introductory puppy grooming. For those that don’t know, a Moyen Poodle is a Poodle that sizes right in between a Standard Poodle and a Miniature Poodle. Cute as heck, right?

We’ll be seeing Elizabeth for intro grooms until she is a bit older and more comfortable with the grooming process to receive a full-groom ✂️

☀️ Shedding Season ☀️

Bella, the German Shepherd and Rottweiler mix, has a thick double-coat that sheds year round and even more so in the summer.

She comes in for a de-shedding treatment regularly and REALLY needed it this time! Look at all the fur we got out after her bath!

How adorable is this Throwback Thursday? 🐾

Bernie, the Cockapoo, started coming to us as a tiny puppy! (Swipe to see her first groom back in January 2020).

Bernie is groomed on a regular schedule to keep her thick coat manageable and matt-free year round. Bernie loves to play in the snow in the winter and hang out on her boat and pool in the summer so grooming is important to keep her skin and coat healthy!

A subtle Transformation Tuesday ✂️ but it’s worth noting because it’s Colby’s first all over haircut after his introductory puppy grooms.

Intro grooms slowly introduce your puppy to the grooming process to get them feeling comfortable and confident in the salon and being handled throughout their grooming. Because of this, Colby did great for his first big haircut!

He looks so cute and so grown up now 🐾

⚓️Ahoy matey! ⚓️

Winston, the Corgi, came in for his monthly grooming session and was sure to sing his favorite song during his undercoat blowout 😂🎶 (if you know and love corgis, you know what we mean)!

Since Winston has a short double-coat, he doesn’t require a big haircut so we just tidy up the areas that get a little too fluffy and always brush out his shedding undercoat and trim his nails nice and short!

Regular maintenance like this makes the grooming process much easier on the pup and grooming team. We look forward to seeing Winston every month!

Bentley, the malti-poo, came in for his short summer cut to help keep him cool and to make it easier for his owner to see ticks on him.

Otis, the Bernese Mountain Dog, came in for a much-needed spring clean up! And, as usual, he brought his overly- excited-about-everything personality with him (As you can see here) 😆

We groomed 4 berners and 2 berner mixes this week! Grooming big dogs is a lot of work but Otis keeps us laughing throughout the entire grooming process 🐾
