Walk ins welcome for Nails only...but prefer a call ahead same day with a heads

up so we can give you an estimated time during the day so we don't have you waiting. Meet Crystal -
Dog Groomer by day and Mom 24/7, to two beautiful girls ages 8 and 10. My husband Rob and I moved to Kingston in 2003 for work. Shortly after having our first daughter, we found Sydenham and knew this was the place for us, we wanted our children to grow up in a small town like we did, it feels a little more like back home. So we've been here ever since. Being a stay at home mom until my girls were in school full time made me think, when it was time to return to work, I wanted to return to something that I love and am passionate about each and every day. And that for me is animals. Dogs especially. In 2012 I started pursuing my passion. I completed a course at St. Lawrence College, Introduction to Professional Dog Grooming. Then continued on to shadow, assist and learn from other groomers. Seminars (including Pet First Aid) and continued learning each and every day, here I am. Currently studying Animal Reiki (using energy and compassion for healing) I hope to apply and offer in the near future and I also have interest in Canine Esthetician, to learn more about skin care in dogs. I believe that every dog has a purpose, I would love the opportunity to be part of their journey with you.

“Oh rubbish....our nails don’t hurt when they grow.”
I hear you, but let’s look at why trainers, groomers, vets (really anyone who works closely with dogs) will urge you to please trim your dog’s nails or “claws”.

It isn’t always nice to hear but it is an important message.

What happens when your dogs nails are too long?
The toes can start to splay, they can spread our unnaturally.
This affects how the foot can move and place itself.

Did your dog’s toes once sit neatly and tightly together?
Have you noticed they now sit wider apart?
Notice those bigger gaps?
The foot isn't as compact as it one was.

Over time.... the toes can twist and they may have a new way of moving or walking, one their body isn’t built for and it can be very subtle and tricky to spot.

That new movement affects joints and muscles all the way up the leg.
Eventually.... it can impact the hips.
The gait can be affected as well as their whole walking style.

Why does this happen?
Dog nails don’t retract.
They stay long (and for long nails concrete walking may not help at all...it just means more pain).
Long nails can’t sink into hard surfaces.
The toes bend... the joints strain and the foot compensates in unnatural ways.

Will they show pain?
Some dogs will..... many don’t or can’t.
That doesn't mean they’re not in a lot of discomfort.

Pain often shows in unexpected ways...unwanted behaviour, movement and posture.
Pain that is preventable becomes a welfare issue.

We owe it to our dogs to help them live (as much as possible) a pain free life.

Yes...nail care can be hard.
Yes, some dogs hate it and progress can be snail pace slow.

However....we owe it to our dogs to not give up on them or their nails.
