Snowball buildup on your pet is totally normal when you live in Alberta! Its pretty cute seeing your pup looking like Frosty the Snowman, but, did you know these snowballs can influence your pets coat and skin health?

When they come back inside, the snow melts on their coat (and your floor!) and can cause their coat to start to tangle and matt. The coat can also hold the moisture, allowing bacteria to grow and can cause an array of skin problems and odours.

What can you do?
-towel dry the snowy and wet areas when they come inside
- gently brush these areas once they are dry to comb out any tangled hair, which will prevent matting to form and debris to gather
- keep longer hair trimmed to avoid larger snowballs from forming (We can help you with this!)
- keep an eye on areas that come in frequent contact with the snow to ensure the hair is not holding moisture and allowing bacteria to grow

From "ruff" to Royalty 😍

I had the pleasure of these little babies this week. They were both very good on the groom table, as they started their grooming education very early. It's so important to expose them as young as possible. It sets them up for a lifetime of happy grooming visits.

A gift I received from a special person in my life. Thought I'd share a little humor.

Happy New Year, friends.
I'd like to take a moment to let all of my clients know how much I appreciate all of you. It's been two years now, that I've worked from my little corner shop in town. If not for your faith in me to provide quality care to your family pets, it would not have worked.
I thank you all and wish you the very best for 2023!

Lovin from the oven! A fresh batch of plaque buster biscuits!
I've sold out of the first batch I've made! Theses biscuits are in support of Old Macdonalds Rescue.
$5/bag, of which 50% will be donated to their rescue program.
Kennels are stressed more than usual this year, every little but helps.

I see a lot of small dogs. I smell the breathe of a lot of small dogs. 🤢 Some are worse than others. Most times is stems from a build up of plaque and tartar.Then they're in need of a dental visit with a vet. So I've researched dog treats and came up with a treat recipe designed to help reduce the tartar and plaque! I can't say that it will rectify the problem, but it may help avoid it. Made from kitchen ingredients with no colors or preservatives.

If you've seen the news you're aware of the over full dog/cat rescues in the province.
This month I'm donating half of the proceeds to Old Macdonalds Rescue over at Ponoka.
If you'd like to try the biscuits and help a rescue stop by The DogSpaw. Each bag is $5.
