The start of the year is the perfect time to reflect on the little things that make life wonderful...or bunderful, in the case of Cowboy & Gracie, two soon-to-be-fully-bonded cuties that hopped by our shop last weekend and snuggled up with each other during their gentle grooming sessions 🥰

If you spend more time at home in the winter like us, you may have noticed that your critters perk up a bit when they realize that they're getting to spend more time with their favorite person 💗

Embracing the 'season of cozy' with your small pet can help you reconnect with them after the holidays or help strengthen your bond with a new pet. It can also be a good opportunity to grow your relationship with gentle grooming, by making activities like regular nail trims and brush outs a little more like a 'spa day' than a chore 🌿

Prepping your space, using quality tools, taking your time and, of course, putting on some relaxing music, can really go a long way towards making grooming day a little softer - for them and for you.

For our friends with bunnies and guinea pigs, we've put together a Gentle Grooming Box. This curated kit includes a curved flexi massaging brush, a gentle grooming tool and a skin & coat supplement that doubles as a tasty post-spa treat 🌾. You'll also save 20% on all 3 goodies when you purchase this bundled box.

To help with prepping your spa area, we have a special new year's treat just for newsletter subscribers. Use code cozy30 for 30% off Stretch & Snuggle beds online, now through 11:59pm PT on Sunday, January 11th. If you're hopping but this weekend, just mention this newsletter to get the deal ✨

One last thing we wanted to mention. It's not too late to support the Missouri House Rabbit Rescue by purchasing one of their adorable 2026 rock n' roll themed bunny calendars from our shop. We've marked them down now that it's officially 2026, but a portion of proceeds still benefits this amazing organization.

From MOHRR:
"Our calendar features reimagined album covers from the 1960s through the 2000s, with bunnies taking the place of famous rock and roll singers and bands. We carefully selected the perfect bunnies to represent each artist and recreated the sets to ensure authenticity. Once again, we hope you enjoy this year's tribute to famous rock artists. The bunnies loved being cheeky for the camera."

Help bunnies in need by picking one up for yourself or sending a monthly dose of bunny magic to a friend or loved one 🐇
