Daily tick checks – do you know what to do if you find a tick on your pet? You can participate in Canadian tick monitoring by submitting tick photos to eTick.ca for identification by a professional.

I couldn't agree more !

For the love of all things: please stop waiting until your dog is 6+ months old for their first groom- ESPECIALLY ANYTHING -OODLE OR LG BREED ! !

A puppy needs to experience their first grooming between 10-12 weeks of age, for the best success wait no later than 16 weeks. Even if they don't LOOK like they need it- at this age it is important to create a positive experience for the process and gently acclimate them a little at a time (first visit might just be a bath and nails, next one trimming eyes and feet and F***y, third visit they *might* be ready for clippers and a haircut )

Not a single groomer on the planet wants to get injured (or be out of work) by a large dog that has NO IDEA what is going on. They're big. They're scared. They're (probably) matted. They can and DO freak out, break our equipment, hurt us or themselves- no matter how slow we go or how calm our salon is there is a STRANGE PERSON touching them and using scary, loud equipment around their personal areas and different sensations and sounds they've never experienced....and they're thinking something along the lines of: "where is my mom? Why am I here? What is this for? Will I ever go home? Omg panic!" I've seen with my own eyes groomers throw out their backs, pinch nerves in their neck, torn ACL from a dog throwing itself off the table and they caught it, shoulder and wrist injuries- like literally the kind of injuries you see in full contact sports. This is not okay.

If we send the pet home because it isn't safe for us- we risk getting trashed on Facebook because a bad review goes 20x farther than a job well done...because of this people pleasing pattern we see alot of groomers who are physically broken, burned out and loosing the physical ability to continue to do their Jobs as they age- and they aren't even the ones responsible for training the dog or brushing it at home. A well-behaved and acclimated dog is the responsibility of the pet owner - and that SHOULD be the norm.

Regular, positive experinces are the key to success for a happy dog at the groomers. The difference between a dog that gets groomed every 6 weeks and a dog that gets groomed every six months is that one thinks it's a part of life- and the other thinks it's punishment.

If you notice these symptoms in your dog please contact your vet and keep your dog away from other dogs.
Kennel cough/ Bordatella is very contagious airborne virus.

We have seen a dramatic rise of kennel cough in the clinic lately. Kennel cough is a highly infectious disease affecting the respiratory system.

Symptoms can include:
🐾 dry hacking high pitched cough
🐾loss of appetite
🐾gagging or vomiting
🐾nasal or eye discharge
🐾sneezing
🐾fever
🐾lethargy

If you notice your dog has any of the above symptoms please call the clinic. If you are unsure of your pets vaccination status then please call the clinic to find out if they are vaccinated against kennel cough.

We are seeing many pets with heat stroke. Do NOT walk your dog when it is hot. Do NOT leave your dog in a hot car, even with windows open. Do NOT walk your dog on hot pavement or sand. Do NOT leave your dog tied on in the sun.
AND PLEASE give your pets lot's of fresh cool water and shelter.

Missing dog

07/01/2022

I know many of our furry family members don't enjoy the fireworks!
Be sure they are wearing a collar with ID, take them out leashed early and maybe let them hide out in a room with the tv or radio on, stuffed kongs or a tasty treat or bone might make a good distraction

This long weekend, skip the fireworks and be considerate to all the animals in your neighbourhood ❤️

1 in 5 pets go missing during fireworks. Countless wildlife are frightened by the noise which cause them to flight into danger or suddenly pass away.

Make sure your pets are safe by keeping them indoors, create a secure spot for them to hide and always put them on leash when outside.

Traye wishes everyone an amazing weekend ❤️
