🌱 Grass seed season is back and in full swing 🌱
📢 Footage of a burst abscess caused by an embedded grass seed at end of reel
It is really important this spring that we are thoroughly checking our dogs for any potential grass seeds they may pick up on a walk or in the backyard 🌻
These seeds can embed themselves anywhere in the dogs paw pads, webbing, in their coat, ears, mouth, under arms, etc 🐩
An embedded grass seed undetected can cause an abscess to occur
Unfortunately we found over 20 grass seeds in this pups feet who had spent some time recently at the farm,
With a trip to the vet and an eye of what to look for, we are confident we will all be able to catch any seeds before they potentially embedding themselves again 🫶

Reasons Why We Do Not Recommend A Cavoodle For A First Time Owner ✨
➖ Cavoodle's are a high maintenance breed, meaning you must brush and comb them each day to avoid matting. Once they are matted over 20% of their body, the best thing for their wellbeing is to shave them off and start again
➖ They require an owner with experience and education in maintaining these difficult coats
➖ As Cavoodle's are a mixed breed, we don't have 'proper regulations' in place meaning we see many puppy mill dogs which have many health and skin issues. Skin or joint issues may start to arise around 2-3 years old. We work with a range of breeders who are doing their part to 'better the breed'
➖ Cavoodles are notorious for their health and skin issues, specifically within their joints. It is important that your cavoodle is not putting extra pressure on these joints by jumping up and off objects.
Skin issues can lead to skin flaking, alopecia, dermatitis and hair loss. Special diets and vet visits will be required to keep on top of these issues
➖ The cost of a cavoodle can range anywhere between $500-$8000. This does not include upkeep cost
➖ Cavoodles are required to see your groomer every 2-8 weeks, the less you do at home, the more frequently we need to see you in the salon.
If you are correctly line brushing and getting out any knots, you may need to see your groomer every few months - we do not recommend this unless you do have experience and education within these difficult coats
➖ Grooming can costs anywhere between $80-180 per month
✨LOW GROOMING BREEDS TO CONSIDER ✨
➖ Jack Russell
➖ Labrador
➖ Chihuahua
➖ Beagle
➖ Bull Mastiff
✨MEDIUM GROOMING BREEDS TO CONSIDER ✨
➖ Pomeranian
➖ Japanese Spitz
➖ Maltese
➖ Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
We love all dogs, but some require really specific, experienced care and unfortunately not everybody fits into that category

This one was always going to hurt a bit 😭

• Things to do whilst your dog is at the Groomers •
Your dog's grooming session usually takes about an hour to two hours, during this time most clients head up to our local shopping centre, others head back home.
Here are some tips for preparing your home for your dogs clean arrival
- Wash your dogs bedding and blankets in a non toxic detergent on high temperature, repeat if soiled
- Pick up their poop
- Wash any spare collars, leads or harnesses and ensure they are thoroughly dried
- Pop their soft toys in the washing machine - preferably in a washing bag for toy safety
- Place any plastic/rubber toys in a bucket, hand wash and dry
- Hang out washed items to air out and dry
- Wipe down any name tags or council tags
Cleaning these items ensures your pet can stay clean for longer after their groom
We do wash any leads and collars in the salon, but we highly recommend their harnesses be put through the wash at home, that way you can ensure they are dried and stored correctly 🤗
Happy washing ✨🥰🐾
