Kates K9 Grooming LLC

The #1 reason for regular grooming is health.

I see this sweet old guy ( 13 years old!) every 6 weeks or so, in between his appointments he developed a very large lump, that wasn’t at his previous appointment. His parents took him in and the vet removed it. Unfortunately it was cancer, but the best news is because it was caught early they were able to remove it! I was so happy to hear that it was removable I teared up.

Groomers know your pets, they inspect their skin, coat, eyes, temperament etc.. at every appointment. I love your pets and if I see anything I always say something, even if it’s nothing I would rather mention it than not.

Luigi’s before and after photos are my favorite. Before he looks like he is so sad, after he is so happy!

I’m so thankful for the support of my small business over the last few years. If you’re a client I love and adore your pups, if you just like/follow my page that is a huge help for small businesses. I appreciate you all

I’ve had multiple people contact me about the respiratory virus going around. Please know I am following all guidelines to clean in between every household.

I also ask that if your dog has a cough or any signs of illness to let me know and we will reschedule your appointment. As well as if you take your dog to a dog park, please let me know.

My goal is to always keep every pet safe while in my care.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I’m so thankful for each of you. I hope you have an amazing day and meal with your loved ones! 🐾❤️

Please know that in between every household I am taking all precautions necessary to sanitize and clean.

If your pup has a cough or any other symptom please let me know as it would be best for their health and the health of other pups to cancel their groom.

If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out.

A potentially fatal mystery illness in dogs is spreading in the US. It starts with a cough

It’s not often I’m asked to poodle a doodle but I love when it happens!

Every doodles hair is different so the top knot has to be modified for their hair type.

Miss Opal is one of the sweetest pups I have the pleasure to groom

If you pup gets tear stains I recommend using filtered water, speaking to your vet about foods that can help and wiping their eyes daily.

One of my favorites for getting hair off the smooth coated pups.

KONG - Zoom Groom Dog Brush, Groom and Massage While Removing Loose Hair and Dead Skin - Blue The KONG ZoomGroom helps make it easier to get your dogs clean. While shampooing use the ZoomGroom to clean your dogs’ coat. The 3/4 inch rubber fingers reach through the coat to massage the skin, stimulating capillaries and natural oil production leading to a healthy coat for your dog.

My favorite brush for medium to long haired dogs.

I’m asked often on what is best for grooming, so I’m going to be posting my favorites.

This comb is the best tool to have for any dog with hair medium to extra long. It’s the best way to reach the skin and get all the knots.

Meet Max.
Sadly, many dogs do not like going in the grooming van, while I hope they love me they don’t always love grooming.

Not Max.

Max loves grooming so much he refuses to leave the van. Door wide open, calling him. As soon as I told him we’re done he goes and hides under the table. I had to take his sister in and come back for him.

Be more like Max ❤️😆🐾

When mom and dad ask for mullet, Koda gets a mullet! He was pretty happy about it too, prancing around after his groom❤️🐾

As we have all seen and felt, prices are increasing. I have tried to stay the same but I am now feeling the effects of everything rising. New clients are being told the new price.

Existing clients, I am going to keep you at the same price for now, when there is a change I will notify you with ample time before the change of price.

Thank you for being my clients some of you from the day I opened 3 years ago!

I have rescheduled all appointments I had to cancel, please let me know if you did not get a text message with a new date.

I know some appointments are still a couple weeks away and I apologize. I am trying to balance working my normal days off, working more hours per day and still being there for my family.

I truly appreciate every client that was so kind and understanding during the last couple of weeks. ❤️ 🐾

Best news in 2 weeks, I have a brand new generator in and running!

Please be patient with me as I have 50 dogs to reschedule in my already completely booked schedule.

Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding.

Update:

I have ordered a new generator and I am waiting to hear when it will be installed.

Please know that I appreciate your patience and understanding in the difficult time.

Also know I understand if you need to go someone else to have your pup groomed now. I hope to earn your business back when I am up and running again.

Unfortunately my generator has completely died. While this has been a trying and stressful time the good news is I can get a new one placed next week.

I will be reaching out to clients I have cancelled and will need to cancel depending on what day it will be done.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and I’m excited to move forward and get back to seeing all my favorite Pups.

One of the downsides of mobile grooming is the wear and Tear from daily use and being on the road.

Unfortunately on Tuesday my generator quit working mid groom. This is extremely stressful and the last thing I ever want to happen. As of now it is in the shop for repair and I’m praying it will be fixed tomorrow.

I am very thankful for all my understanding clients. Truly the last thing I want to do is cancel. As soon as I know it’s fixed I will reach out to those that I have had to cancel and I’m hopeful I won’t have to cancel Friday this week.

With so much moisture the creepy crawlers are out and seem to be worse this spring than in years past. Please check your pups, and use a preventative. For my pups I use a monthly pill/chewable from our vet. Speak to your vet about what would be best for your pups.

This chart is approximate and only for reference, as I’ve had clients ask about time frame.

Let’s talk about paw health.

Shaving the bottom of the pads helps to keep debris out in the warm months and snow packed in the winter months.

With the sun shine and heat be very aware of the pavement temperature when walking. Burnt paw pads are horrible.

If you notice your pup biting at their paws a lot, check for anything in them. This may also be a sign of allergies, so give your vet a call.

Did you know I am mom of 3 amazing kids?

While my clients and business mean a lot to me, my kids come first.

Especially when they are sick. I am so thankful for the clients that are understanding of my rescheduling, sometimes last minute and sometimes more then once with the same client because with 3 kids I never know who is going to need mom.

Just like this mama dog it’s exhausting but amazing and I am very thankful for each of my clients that have stayed with me and understand being a mom comes first. ❤️ 🐾

Colorado likes to keep us on our toes. I will be going out today but later than planned.
Please be very careful driving today.
