My Story
The Beginning
Hello bunny friends, my name is Kelly and I am a bunny lover and groomer. I’ve been working with buns for 13 years and had an 18 bun rabbitry and knew very little in the beginning. I had a lot to learn. I didn’t even know you’re supposed to watch your bunny’s booty often. I knew that I wanted to be working with buns forever. I’ve had and have a few house rabbits and I studied anything I could get my hands on, lots of vet textbooks! Now I know quite a bit more and I have 4 of my own bunnies now and the grooming keeps me in the bunny world.
The Future
I am always looking for ways to improve and expand our services, incorporating best practices. Your suggestions are always welcome also. My goal is to become the go-to pet rabbit groomer specializing in cases of urine scald and poopy butt, and Rabbit Consultant in Phoenix area and beyond.
Now
I am a rabbit certified groomer, and a retired RN so I look at lots of things you don’t know I’m checking: flea dirt, eye and ear problems, lumps, bumps, abscesses-especially on the jawline and feet. I check for sore hocks, poopy butt, urine stained feet, urine scald, scent gland build up. I check ears and eyes and break up mats, sanitary trim, trim nails, perhaps a haircut and of course a deshedding! Why does a rabbit need all of this? Worst case scenario if they swallow too much hair it will clog the GI tract and cause GI Stasis and possible death. Urine scald and sore hocks can lead to bone infection and a deadly sepsis. But, mostly the mats and long nails can cause a lot of pain for your rabbit.
