Unfortunately
When we take boarders in, we must cap the amount we can take in at any given time, turning away others. Starting in March for the Break, if we get last minute cancellations, we will be charging a cancellation fee. We have no choice. Last year we had 100% cancellations. We depend on the income of these services to make ends meet and I say make them meet, not do a happy dance making money. Starting in January, our grooming fees will go up $10. I am so sorry but I just put in an order to Deboers and most of what I ordered went way up in price. I checked Ren's as well with the product Dirty Dog which I use heavily on dogs that are greasy. This product alone DOUBLED in price. Most went up significantly.
We struggle with giving you an inexpensive price and being able to buy products, never mind time and effort. There are other groomers. They all cost more and reading the messages in the groomers only threads, we realize everyone had to raise prices due to product and cancellation costs.
Again, apologies. If we do not raise prices, we will not exist as a service.

I don't think you need to apologize for any of the changes you are implementing. All perfectly reasonable and understandable, in my opinion.
I totally agree with Patt no need for apologies, you have to raise your prices to keep up with the ever rising costs None of your prices are even close to being unreasonable.It's in all our best interests , puppies included, that you are able to make a living from your business...don't give it a second thought...

More than reasonable. No need to apologize.
Totally understand. You are awesome! Happy to support a great family business ❤️
Totally agree with this- no need to apologize. Glad we are able to bring Daisy there and know that she loved and cared for always with you all.
I totally agree with the price increase. All of us are trying to survive as small businesses during these not easy times. If ones can pay double price for a six pcs meat of chicken thighs in these days, ones should have no problem paying a bit extra for their unconditional loving baby :) So you have no need to apologize. Enjoy the services everyone and let's help our small business without hesitation.
