The Hangover - Christmas Edition
The holiday hangover is real, relentless, and if we’re honest… a bit of a cold-hearted b*tch! But with our big-girl pants on, let’s dive into why the feels are hitting like a rogue mat in a fluffy coat: it’s not you—it’s January.

So how should price increases be approached and communicated to your clients? Let’s have a look at best practice.
Matted Dogs - Educating Clients + Charging Appropriately
We’ve all been there – when a client arrives for their groom and either doesn’t understand that their dog is matted, or doesn’t understand why it costs them more money.
The common question “why are you charging me more if you’re going to shave it off anyway?”
Client Education Brochures
These brochures not only empower you with knowledge but also help educate your clients about pet care best practices.
“In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.”
