A Full Month with Venus

July 12 August 12, 2026

Venus is usually here for about two weeks at a time. This summer she's here for the full month, plus 1 to 2 visiting groomers to keep the calendar open. Book early, the schedule fills up.

A full month, not two weeks

Venus's regular visits run about two weeks. This summer she's here for the full 30 days, so there's more room to book her directly.

Limited-edition merch

Caps, t-shirts, and hoodies in two designs: the German Shepherd Lynchburg crest and the crowned Maltipoo. Hats $15, shirts $20, hoodies $35.

Extra hands onsite

Venus brings 1 to 2 visiting groomers during the residency so more dogs can fit the calendar. Names announced soon.

Book early, the schedule fills

Venus is at the salon every day from July 12 through August 12, 2026. Booking with her directly gets harder once the calendar fills up, so reach out early if you want a specific day or time.

If your dog needs a quiet morning slot or a particular groomer, mention it when you book.

Take a piece of Fancy Pet Salon home

Limited run. Pickup in person at the salon during Venus's visit.

Sizes S to XL available, ask when you reserve. All merch must be picked up at the salon during the residency.

Meet Venus

Venus trained as a dog groomer in Colombia before moving to the U.S. She started at Petco in Lynchburg and got known for handling the dogs other groomers couldn't. The anxious ones would calm down in her chair.

She opened Fancy Pet Salon eight years later. One groomer, one dog at a time, no cages. This month is the easiest way to get on her schedule, and the merch is on sale at the salon while she's here.
