Grooming by Jennifer

Dogs who are matted should not be bathed. As they dry, mats will shrink and tighten towards a dog's skin, tangling more hair. If not removed, mats will eventually spread and begin pulling on the animals skin. This can become very uncomfortable. As matting worsens, grooming becomes more difficult, and even painful for your pet.

If your dog is a non-shedding breed or sheds very little hair, chances are they have a single coat. Shedding breeds have a double coat. It is this second coat or under-coat that acts as insulation to keep the animal warm in winter. Single coats, even long, provide very little warmth to your pet. In fact, it is just the opposite, rain and snow dampen the hair making it take much longer to dry and can lead to chills.

A full groom usually includes trimming of your dogs nails. Did you know that nail trims are not always done as part of every groom? This is because nail trimming is not always needed. Dogs who are walked regularly or who spend a lot of time playing outdoors wear them down naturally. If short nails are trimmed there is a large risk of "quicking" the nail bed. This leads to bleeding and a painful experience for your pet. Nails are checked at every groom to see what condition they are in, and trimmed if needed.

Long nails can only be trimmed back so far. Once the nail bed is reached, trimming further will only cause the nail to bleed and be a painful experience for your pet.

	Puppies are baby dogs and only have a limited attention span for anything we do with them, so you may be asked to bring your puppy back for a second visit to finish the groom. My goal is to make every experience a positive one so your puppy will grow to enjoy grooming. The most important thing to remember is grooming is a must for some breeds and will become a life long routine. Puppies who have not had the experience of being groomed before about 4 months of age, will find it at the very least foreign and possibly scary.
	Would you like to keep your pet in a longer coat but find regular brushings can be hard to fit into your schedule? Why not book a brushing appointment? A full bush-out helps to keep your pet looking it’s best between grooms. Regular brushing distributes the natural oils in your pet’s coat keeping it healthy and mat-free.
	Between grooms you can get your pet's face and feet cleaned up, nails trimmed, and ears cleaned. Includes a soothing a bath. Keep your pet looking and feeling their best.
	Why not treat your pet to a soothing bath complete with Pet Massage. This includes an ear cleaning and nail trimming for any breed of dog, if not matted.
