New clients are welcome! I provide one-on-one grooming services for cats and dogs of all sizes and ages, focusing on the animal's well-being in a cage-free setting. Cats are truly wonderful. I recently had the opportunity to groom ORBY, a senior Siamese cat who lost his owner. The family chose to shave only the matted areas of his compacted undercoat rather than shaving him entirely. Unfortunately, I didn't capture an after photo as he was ready to leave and still damp, but his owners were satisfied with the results - he's now clean and free of mats. For inquiries, please call 865-469-8563; if unreachable, kindly send a text with the animal's photo and requested services. Availability this week includes Monday and Tuesday.

Grooming with a Gentle Hand, Love, and Zero Cages! ❤️ We operate on the principle of prioritizing comfort over convenience, ensuring that every session focuses on the animal's well-being. Our time-honored process involves dedicating sufficient time for each animal to relax, acclimate, and build positive associations with their care. We maintain a restraint-free environment, utilizing hands-on contact only when necessary for critical safety measures. Our specialized behavioral care involves patiently working with fearful, anxious, or trauma-responsive animals, investing the required time to establish trust and complete the service in a low-stress manner. While we strive for technical perfection, the animal's emotional comfort and safety dictate the finished aesthetic. Our non-negotiable welfare policies include not offering dematting services and maintaining a strict no-muzzle policy. Please reach out for any grooming needs at 865-469-8563. Please leave a voicemail or send a text with service needs.

When clients have two aggressive dogs, failing to inform the groomer beforehand can create challenges. Requesting a fluffy cut on a matted dog that refuses brushing can be particularly difficult, especially when owners struggle to brush the dog's legs. In such cases, prioritizing the dog's comfort and safety is crucial, even if it means deviating from the owner's desired outcome. Unfortunately, some clients expect miracles without investing time and effort into their dogs' grooming and training at home. As a result, maintaining a professional relationship can be complicated, and in some cases, it may be necessary to establish boundaries.

To ensure transparency, if you would like to schedule a groom, please be aware that if the dog is matted, it will be shaved, even if this is not the owner's preferred outcome, and I will inform clients of this beforehand.

Frisbee, a Yorkie terrier mix, received a post-operative grooming session at our salon, consisting of a short cut and suture removal following a dog fight. Despite initial apprehension, Frisbee demonstrated great enthusiasm for his grooming, becoming increasingly affectionate and relaxed as the weight of his fur was removed. A spa treatment was provided to alleviate dandruff and itchy spots resulting from extended bed rest. Although Frisbee performed exceptionally well, his cut is not perfectly even due to his sensitivity around scissors and clippers near his eyes and between nails/paws. We will make every effort to ensure his comfort during future grooming sessions. Frisbee's behavior was exemplary, and he even fell asleep during his body grooming. Regrettably, his nails were too long to trim short, requiring a follow-up appointment at the owner's convenience. To schedule a grooming session for your pet, please call or text me at 865-469-8563, providing your name, dog type, desired service, and availability. Thank you.

Teddy the terrier necessitated customized attention in response to his facial styling preferences. A subsequent appointment has been arranged in two weeks to address his overgrown nails. The Yorkie and Shih Tzu demonstrate receptivity to grooming but exhibit wariness around the dryer. We intend to undertake a gentle familiarization process to alleviate their apprehensions. The proprietors of these dogs are exceptionally cooperative and a pleasure to interact with.

Please reach out for any and all grooming.. 865-469-8563.

Meet Oreo, a doodle mix. He has been delinquent in maintaining his grooming schedule. Upon arrival, he exhibited acute anxiety and discomfort due to severe matting, which caused pulling and yanking sensations in his groin, legs, and buttocks. Despite initial apprehensions, Oreo demonstrated remarkable resilience during the clipping process, recognizing that the intent was to provide relief. His owners prioritized alleviating his immediate distress over achieving perfection, acknowledging the importance of gradually introducing him to the grooming process and identifying his specific sensitivities. After two arduous hours of dematting prior to bathing, Oreo clearly signaled his limits, issuing a warning by gently mouthing my arm. We anticipate his return for further grooming, focusing on his facial area and front paws. Recognizing when a canine has reached its threshold is crucial, as pushing them beyond that point can foster a lasting aversion to grooming. Employing patience and allowing for incremental progress is essential in such situations.
