My grooming shop

I now have for clients! I'm happy about that and looking for more.  If you live in the O'Fallon, MO area, contact me for grooming prices!  I groom dogs and cats!  If you don't live in my area, I could still use your help!  I am still trying to buy equipment and tools for my shop.  I'm currently bathing dogs outside, but come this Fall and winter, that is not going to be an option.  I need a good dog tub.  I am also needing to buy new shears, sharpen shears and blades, need more shampoo, advertisment, promotional items, uniforms, and more misc. items to make my business successful How can you help?  Well, I have created an account on gofundme.com to help with business expenses.  Once I have a good business coming in, I am going to move into an actual shop.  I'm hoping to do this within a two year time period!  If you know someone in the O'Fallon, area have them contact me about grooming their dog or cat!

Update

I've officially named the business "Pampered Pups & Pals"  I added the "pals" because I am welcoming cats into my small salon!  I just ordered business cards today!  I'm excited about this!  I hope to one day, be able to rent a storefront space.  I have 5 clients now and am thrilled about that!  I am accepting new clients still!  First groom with me, your doggie will get FREE toothbrushing!  On the back of my business cards, I have a spot to where you'll earn free toothbrushing after 5 grooms!  Email me for pricing information!

Flea & Tick preventatives

Be sure to treat your furry family members for fleas & ticks! Research the products out there! The cheaper the product is, the less effective it is going to be and the more likely it will wash off your furry friend!

I know this can get expensive, I have a Bichon. I presonally use and love the product Revolution. It is available for cats and dogs! It is a flea preventative and heartworm preventative in one. It does not protect against ticks though! So if you aren't worried about ticks, this is a good product. I've been using it four years now and don't think I'll ever switch! If you need a product that protects against fleas & ticks, I recommend Advantix. You would still need a heartworm preventative.

Like I said, make sure to do your research and even possibly talk to your Vet on preventatives. Happy Friday all! Grooming appointments available through the weekend. The last appointment for Sunday will be 12! Have a great weekend!

First dog

I'm excited to say I have my first groom of this business booked!  It is a little Schnauzer!  I am looking forward to this groom and hopefully many more!  If you know of someone in the O'Fallon/ STL area looking to get their dog groomed...please refer them to me!  As I am just starting out, word of mouth is going to be my best friend!  I appreciate any and all help!  For now, I will just leave my email address for contact, as I don't need people from all over calling.  I will give my phone number then if they are in my area and serious about needing a dog or cat groomed.  My email address is photogal314@aol.com

Moved in!

Well I am all moved into my new house where I am going to be doing the dog grooming!  I am working on getting everything put away and locating all my grooming equipment!  My grooming table and dryer has arrived!  I have also bought some shampoos! Including a tearless doggie facial scrub, oatmeal shampoo and a nourishing conditioner for upgrades!  I can't wait to get my first customer!  The first 5 grooms will get a FREE upgrade on their shampoo!  Also, the first month, each dog will get a goodie bag for being the first customers to be groomed!  I'll be making some homemade doggie treats that will also be for sale! You'll have to let me know when you are making appointment that you'll be wanting treats!  If you are just wanting treats, please give me 1 week to fill your order!  I appreciate that!  I am super excited to get this going.  From time to time, I'll be providing tips on home grooms and care to improve your pet's overall being!  Stay tuned!
