EPISODE NOTES: It's Go Time! -
Pet grooming can be a very physically daunting profession, not just for the groomer, but for the dog. This is especially true during the later years of a dog's life. As your dog reaches those years, it becomes harder and harder for them to handle the process of a complete grooming. This creates an unfortunate common reality in the industry. That reality is, eventually your groomer may have to make the difficult decision to no longer groom your dog due to age. In this episode we discuss all of the dynamics that go into that. We also have our traditional comment segment at the end of the episode so be sure not to miss that.

EPISODE NOTES: Need For Breed -
We seem to be entering a transitional period for pet grooming. The pandemic has obviously had a major impact on the grooming industry. It has led to many independent shops closing down for good, while simultaneously overwhelming the shops that made it through. More and more shops continue to close to this day, leading many pet owners to need to be squeezed in for appointments, or use bigger grooming corporations that have more availability. In this episode we discuss everything that's going on, and how we can work together to keep the industry alive with integrity.
EPISODE NOTES: Independence Day -
Buckle up, it's rant time. Recently we had an experience at our grooming shop that unfortunately led to a false review being left about us. We figured it to be a good opportunity to turn a negative to a positive by sharing the story with you all, in hopes that maybe we can help avoid this happening too often. If you're a groomer, and this has happened to you, you will surely resonate with the story told in this episode. If you're a pet owner, we only ask that you try your best not to behave the way the pet owners did in this story.
