Sometimes I have to make a judgment call for your pets and their grooming. Sometimes it is in conflict with the information your vets give you. I see most of my clients every 4-6 weeks. I know every square inch of their bodies. I know every like, dislike. I see things on my grooming table you or the vet will never see. When I am determining the best course of action for your pets grooming I always consider, if it were one of my dogs, would I do the grooming? Quite often that means you, as the pet parent, don’t get what you want. While I want you to be […]

Hey guys, take a minute of your day to help me say Happy Anniversary to Sharon and Shimmy. I waited for about a year for their arrival to our community and she was worth the wait. Sharon brings a calm to the salon that cannot be taught. She has the patience of a saint and truly loves what she does. I am so blessed to work side-by-side with her. Happy ‘two years’ Sharon, we love you!! Here’s to another year of full books and doggy kisses, kitty hisses and growth. Thank you for all you do for our pet community, but mostly for helping to keep me grounded when it’s […]

I am so grateful to have so many generous and compassionate customers. For Toevember 2020, we were able to collect and donate one giant bag of socks, hats and scarves to a longterm care facility in Sequim and two giant bags to the Rediscovery Program in Port Angeles. All donations will be distributed to those in need by people who are in the trenches helping. We accept donations of clothing items and such, year-round, which will then be given to people in the community who will get them to those in need. Thank you so much.
Continue readingNail Trim Update
After communicating with Sharon we have come up with the following nail trim policy. This will create more work for us initially, but with current state guidelines and keeping my staff safe, this is about the only thing that works for everyone. We have to have a running list of contacts in case, hopefully not necessary, but just in case contact tracing needs to happen. So from now on please follow these guidelines. 1. Call the salon to schedule a nail trim appointment. 2. We will have space Mon-Fri from 8:30-8:45am and 4:30-5pm.3. Come into the salon with your pet, ONE CLIENT AT A TIME, masked of course. Please be conscientious of […]
