More DayCare Fun... Meet Jeffery

Jeffery is a nice size lab that comes and stays with us every once in a while.  He is a ball full of energy and LOVES to play fetch!!!

He had found the basket of toys and pulled them ALL out!!  He couldn't decide which one he wanted to play with so he just ran around with them all!!

Yes hes a big boy and hes a sweet heart.  He says "throw it again, throw it again!!!"

We have been offering hair coloring for a while now.  Diego which is my 2 year old Shih tzu came to get his bath and play at daycare, since we have a new groomer on staff we decided to introduce her to the Creative side of grooming.  She wanted to try out all the colors since Diego is a perfect canvas, because he is white.

At the salon letting his color absorb in....
He sat there so nice. The dyes we use are natural and organic soy based semi permanent dye.  It slowly fades out, some colors faster then others. So after about 30 minuets the color had set and he got a bath and blown dry.
Perfect blend of colors!!!  I say he's getting ready for Mardi Gras!!!
 

Frequent grooming promotes better health for your pet.

       A large portion of the general public believes grooming a dog is just popping the dog in the bath and running a clipper over them and that's the grooming procedure complete. This could not be further from the truth. Your groomer is a very valuable addition to your dog's life. From the moment your dog enters the salon with you, it is being assessed but you are probably not even aware of it happening.
      
      Many health problems and issues can be brought to an owner's attention. Living with your dog day in day out it can be difficult to notice small changes. A foul smell can be anything from a dirty bum to an ear infection. While your pet is being groomed we handle every square inch of their body. We can be an added early warning system by bringing to your attention lumps, bumps, sores, old wounds, torn nails, skin problems, restricted movement in joints an limbs which can be early indications of conditions that vets can help provide relief for...The list can be endless!!
      

    So your little friend is being groomed today. Did you know that while he is being worked on that his ears will be checked and any excess hair, which can lead to problems, will be removed. The ears will then be cleaned and if your dog requires veterinary help to treat an infection you will be advised of this. His nails will be trimmed and can be filed down if requested. Large hard plugs which can form from hair and dirt between the pads which feel like walking with stones in your shoes will be removed for your dogs comfort. All around his privates will be clipped and cleaned for ongoing hygiene at home. His skin and coat will be assessed for the most suitable shampoo. His coat will be attended to whether he is being brushed out or put into a clipped style. Your groomer needs to base their decision on how to best maintain his coat in a style that suite you, and your pet, and his lifestyle keeping him comfortable until his next grooming session.
