The Lansing Grooming Spa

Cold weather is coming, and with it comes the holidays! We are still booking out 2-3 weeks with very limited availability on Saturdays. This is year will be especially important to book sooner than later if you need to have your dog groomed right before the holidays. It is always a good idea to prebook your next appointment at pick up to make sure we have the day and time you prefer.

In the beginning of September, myself, owner Nicole Beckman, submitted grooming photos to an online grooming competition called WPA365. The awards came out today. I used my two poodles Ira and Sprocket and won first place is abstract grooming, and received an honorable mention in poodle trims.

We are down to booking out around 2-3 weeks. Saturdays are booking up fast, and certain days throughout the next month are nearly full. So if you are looking to book an appointment soon, sooner is better to get the day and time you prefer! And it is always a good idea to book your next appointment at pick up or shortly after.

Update: We are booking out 2.5 to 3 weeks at the moment. We may be starting to catch up a bit, but can't guarantee anything! Why not add some color to your life? Please let me know BEFORE your appointment if you want it, so we can plan and schedule accordingly. Chalk is a temporary color that fades quickly and washes out completely, or almost completely with a bath. It CAN sometimes rub off on furniture and carpets, especially if wet.... Semi-permanent pet safe dye is a more permanent way to add color to your pet. It will fade over time, but most likely will need to be cut off to come off completely. On short haired breeds it will fade over time as they hair sheds out. Areas such as the end of the tail, ears and feet and great areas to dye, as they will most likely be cut off at your next grooming. They also come in contact with water/dirt the most and will fade more quickly Dyeing the top of the head, full ears or tail will stay in for a long time, as these areas are generally left long. All dogs pictures had semi permanent dye used.

I hope everyone had a happy fourth! We sure did! We are booking out slightly less than before, at about 3.5 weeks, however Saturdays are now booked til mid August. We have officially opened our lobby area for those wearing masks! We are only allowing one person/family in at a time, and prefer any unnecessary family members to stay outside. All leashes, collars, harnesses and flea collars will be left with you. Please try to stay within the taped area and only use the small ta...ble for your belongings or to write checks, etc. I now have my credit card chip reader set up so cards can be inserted by you, and nothing needs to be touched. I am trying to keep surfaces that are being touched as close to ZERO as possible, or we will need to shut down the lobby again. We are still offering curbside pick-up and drop-off to anyone who calls from outside from here on out. If you forget your mask, please call from outside OR open and close the door quickly from outside to set off our door bell and we will come out to you. See more

We are still booking out about 4 weeks or a day under for baths and/or haircuts, so we appreciate your patience and loyalty. We are definitely still able to take nail trims and quick face/fanny trims. Mostly between 4 and 5:30pm, but some appointments may be available during during the day depending on how crazy things are. Call 607-533-9700 and leave a message if we are busy, or email [email protected] to make an appointment. Here is Luka! His owners decided to try some multi colored temporary chalk to go for a Bon Jovi rocker look today!

We are currently booking out approximately 4 weeks at this point. We are sorry if we are not able to accommodate your pup as soon as you'd like, however we have been crazy busy and are trying to groom as many dogs as possible while keeping our sanity! If you'd like to schedule an appointment, please call 607-533-9700 or email [email protected]. Please consider rebooking your next appointment when you bring your dog in or shortly after. We are able to do nail trims and trim around the eyes/sanitary as a quick 5-10 minute appointment. We are trying to schedule this near the end of the day, but can possibly do this throughout the day as well depending on the schedule. This type of appointment we may be able to do same day, or at least within a couple days. Barkley was very happy he was about to get a haircut the other day!

We are finally petty much caught up on calls! If you called and left a message or email and have NOT received a response, please call ASAP! As of today, we have appointments starting on Saturday June 27th and on from there. If you would like to set up an appointment, please call 607-533-9700 or email [email protected] I am also urging everyone to consider rebooking when you come in or shortly after, as I am not sure how booked out we will be in future. This is my p...uppy Sprocket, featuring fun temporary color from chalk! We do offer color for clients! Either temporary like chalk, or more permanent semi-permanent dog safe, non toxic dyes. If you are interested in color, please discuss this before your appointment. See more

Thank you everyone for your continued support and patience. I have been trying my hardest to get through our wait-list as quickly as possible, and hope to finish before the end of the week, depending on how many calls continue to come in. We have so far been able to schedule everyone in sooner than expected, and hope this continues. We expect to get even those who have called in the last couple days in before the end of June. If you have not called or emailed yet, please do s...o to get in sooner than later at 607-533-9700 or [email protected] Also, I urge everyone to reschedule for a future appointment when you come in. This will ensure you will be able to get your dog groomed when they need it so they will not have to wait. This is Bella the golden doodle. She got a nice summer cut the other day after growing out a thick, hot coat during quarantine.

We are open and working on our call list! We are over half way through getting back to everyone, and working hard to get through the rest. If you had an appointment that was cancelled, and have not received a call or called back to a message, please call us ASAP. If you have called in while we were closed or after, we will be getting back to you soon! It looks like we will be able to get everyone who has called in at least up til now in by the end of June.... If you'd like to be added to our wait list, please call 607-533-9700 and leave a message, or email [email protected]. Please leave your name, your dog's name, and the best number to reach you. We will get back to you as soon as we've reached your name on the wait list. See more

Thank you everyone for your patience. We are able to start taking appointments, however we are currently only taking in cancelled and previously scheduled appointments. We expect to be able to start taking appointments from our call in wait list around May 29th or 30th. Until we are caught up with calling everyone on the list, we will NOT be answering the phone and will NOT be able to get back to you until we have reached your spot on the wait list. As of right now, we expect to get a everyone who has called so far in by the end of June. If you would like to schedule an appointment, please call 607-533-9700 or email [email protected] and we will get back to you ASAP. This will take a while so please be patient.

Thank you everyone for your continued patience. We will be able to start accepting regular grooming appointments starting during phase TWO, which should be Friday or Saturday 29th or 30th, depending on the state of the region. If you would like to be on the list to make an appointment, please call 607-533-9700 or email [email protected] and leave your name, your dog's name, and the best phone number to get a hold of you. If you had a cancelled appointments or if yo...u've already called and left a message, you are already on this list. We will then reach out to you closer to this date to make an appointment, in the order that calls and emails have been received. See more

We are still currently only able to grooming appointments with a note from your vet saying grooming in medically necessary. We are crossing our fingers that our region will be able to open after May 15th. I have just read that select retail stores offering curbside pickup will be able to open with phase one of reopening, which may or may not include us. If not, then we will be able to open regular grooming during phase two, which SHOULD be approximately 14 days after phase one.

When is grooming your dog medically necessary? While regular grooming is essential for many dogs, it can wait for many during this pandemic to ensure everyone's safety. However, if your dog has skin issues, matting, ear or eye problems, overgrown nails, or is developing matting and tangles, it might be necessary. If any of these issues are happening to your dog right now or develop, please contact your vet. If they are not able to give an adequate solution without the help of grooming, please have them email me at [email protected] with a referral saying that grooming is medically necessary and we can schedule an appointment.
