Please read, urgent!

The BC CDC has identified high-risk Lyme areas, as seen in red on the map.

Why is this important? Dr. Adrian let’s us know why everyone should be aware of these high-risk areas coming into the warmer months.

“If you like to be outside, and if you’ve every noticed ticks in the month of may as your hiking, pulled them off your animals, or brushed them off your socks, you may have been bit by one of those ticks and not have ever known it — potentially exposing you to to Lyme. If you have a well functioning immune system, your body might fight that off. But if you have a high stress life, lets say for example from recent surgery, a car accidents, or anything that can suppress your immune system, the Lyme may actually overcome your immune defences, leaving you with chronic Lyme and the many symptoms that come along with that.“

Things to be aware of... they tell you what to look for at the end of the article.

Remember...

If your dog comes down with heat stroke there is a 50 percent chance they will die…..it’s that serious.
It will be scorching hot over the next few days….exercise early morning or night, leave them at home and make sure they have access to cool spaces and lots of water.

Hi everyone! I am finally back to work! I do have to spread out some of the more difficult dogs (double coated medium or larger), but I'm starting to book for the second week of June. If you had contacted me while I was injured & I haven't contacted you, please message me. I think I have contacted most people. I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

So I have now spoken with the Dr and he has gone over the results of imaging done on my shoulder. It's tendinitis of one of the rotator cuff tendons. He said it can take weeks or months to heal. My shoulder is however, feeling better this week. I'm hoping to maybe get back to work part-time in the next week or two.
If you are on the waiting list, I will be slowly making my way through it at that time.

Everyone stay safe & I will talk to you soon.

Happy New Year!
Just wanted to share with you something very important to do with any dog, but especially doodles/poor. The thicker or curlier the coat the more grooming that is required.

Are you thinking of buying a doodle, or Cockapoo, or any Poodle cross? Have you got one of these puppies and been told they don't need grooming until they are a year old, or that their coat maintenance is easy? If so please read this. (The original post was written by an unknown groomer but I have edited it quite a lot! Please feel free to share.)

Poodle crosses (cockapoos, doodles, maltipoos etc.) are not "easy breeds" to maintain. The photo attached (shared from another groomer) shows how matting forms at the skin. By looking at this dog's top coat, you may not see the knots and you may not feel them as you would a knot on the ends of the fur but under that fluffy top layer this is going on. Once it starts its very difficult/ impossible to brush out... and even if you could it would be cruel to put the dog through it. Maintenance at home has to be more than a quick once over for these dogs if you want to keep them in that fluffy coat which was probably one of the reasons you chose a poodle cross in the first place. You really need to sit down with a brush and then a metal comb and make sure you can get it through the entire body at least 2 to 3 times a week.

I often feel like owners don't believe groomers when they say their dog has to be clipped very short. I always hear "I know he/she is matted, but leave as much as you can". You cannot clip through matting, you can only clip under it. As this photo shows, clipping under the matting means taking the coat back to the skin.
I promise you, your groomer really doesn't want to do this but they won't hurt your dog by putting it through dematting, they also don't want to hurt their reputation when the clients go around complaining about how the last groomer "scalped" their dog but there really is not any alternative. Instead of being angry with your groomer if they clip your dog very short please respect their commitment to do what is in your dog's best interest, accept responsibility for not having brushed your dog properly at home, and work with your groomer because, together, you can prevent this happening again. All groomers will be very happy to demonstrate a technique called line brushing which will help make your grooming at home more effective. Just ask! We all want owners to know how to do this

Poodle crosses are easily one of the highest maintenance dogs in reference to their coats. The combination of the soft coat they are mixing poodles with these days is a coat that is extremely prone to matting.

If you like a fluffy pup, you probably need to consider no more than 3-5 week intervals between grooming and set aside time for regular brushing AND combing at home.

Please know, if you bathe your poodle cross you really need to blow dry and brush out right after. Moisture, be it a bath, rain, swimming, snow etc are all going to make matting worse. If you know your dog is already matted-- bathing is only going to make it worse! Brush out before the bath.

Lastly "breeders" who say these dogs can't or shouldnt be clipped and not to give them a hair cut until they are one year old are misleading potential owners in order to sell puppies and setting them up for a sad day when they finally take their pup to the groomer.

If this hasn't put you off buying one please schedule your puppy's first groom immediately after they've had their vaccinations and then be prepared to do the maintenance at home between regular professional grooms. (Picture by Paola Perez)

This is awesome! 👏 Brilliant!

Research what your vet is giving you. When you are brushing your dog (pets) daily, run your hands over them feel down to the skin, look @ their skin (if you can).
Having your dog on a regular grooming schedule can help you find issues early.
