Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to tell a little about myself in my first blog.
My name is Amber. I'm a Professional Groomer here at Palouse Pets, and I love what I do! I have 3 children that make my world go round, Jasmine (5), Kira (almost 4), and Logan (almost 2).I also have 3 kitties and a border collie that is just over 1 year old now. I have been grooming here for about one and a half years now and after lots of hard work, studying, and an aprenticeship, I have settled into my career. I plan to continue advancing my knowlege by attending more trade shows and seminars. I don't feel like you can ever learn enough in this profession. I also hope to compete someday...just for fun, when I have the extra time :). I love dogs and I love helping people find a look that fits for thier pet and thier lifestyle. Whether it's a short trim all over, a traditional or modified breed standard trim, something extreme like a mohawk, or even just a bath, we can and will help your dog look thier best and feel thier best!

Note:
We are booking out about a week in advance, but do have a cancelation list for those last minute appointments(no promises). Also remember to schedule your appointments for the holidays as soon as possible because they are filling up fast!
Our current hours are Monday thru Saturday 8-6.

Website update

I hope you like the new look. Kurtis has been working diligently to improve the look and easy of navigation. Take a look around and let us know what you think!

A Note from the Grooming Shop

Springtime is upon us and with it many of you are calling to make appointments for spring cleanups on your dogs and cats. We have 2 groomer technicians now fully trained to assist with bathing and grooming prep work - Jesse Anderson and Brett Martin. Both have completed bather/brusher training, and Canine CPR and basic first aid training.

In addition we would like to welcome Jodie Frederick to the team as our second groomer. She had previously groomed at Alpine Animal Hospital.

The grooming shop is blossoming and with the additional staff, we are still able to get most of you in during the week you call.

A special note to all of my current clients - I really appreciate the referrals - thank you so much! It really means a lot to have someone tell me that they heard from 2 or 3 of their friends that they should come here for their pets grooming needs. The staff of Palouse Pets and I will continue to work to earn the trust you place here.

DOG OBEDIENCE

Our Clicker Dog Obedience course is currently in its second class. The third class will be starting on Monday May 21st, and only six positions are available in both the Adult and Puppy Kindergarden classes so register ASAP! However, these classes will be running year round, so if you miss this session you can always get into the next class. We will also be starting an advanced clicker class soon for those that have completed the initial clicker obedience class and wish to continue training with their pups. For more information see our classes page on this website or stop by the store anytime!

New Shipment of Saltwater Fish

The shipment of saltwater fish, corals, and inverts we received this week has been fully acclimated and all are doing very well. Highlights of the shipment are a nice size coral beauty with great color. Also a healthy and nice sized blue (Hippo) tang that is eating well and gaining weight. Others include a rainford's goby, copperbanded butterfly, goldstripe maroon clownfish, some oscellaris and true percula, a variety of pseudochromis, mandarin and target dragonet, scooter blennies, a delightful and large decorator crab.
The inverts include blue leg hermits, some nice large margarita and nassirius snails, a briarium encrusting green star polyp cluster, greek goddess sea slugs, skunk cleaner shrimp, emerald crabs, blue spot sea hares, and more.
This was a really nice shipment - everything is nice sized and healthy.
