People ask me all the time about shaving their dogs down. Here's why I don't recommend it:
Shaving it away removes that protective layer, resulting in insufficient protection from temperature, parasites, sun damage, and wind. Shaving also damages the coat because it doesn't regrow in the same fashion. To protect the skin, the undercoat grows back quickly but the guard hairs don't.

Thank you all for your prayers and concerns after the horrible dog attack on me and my cats. We are all doing well. The 2 babies that got the worst of it went to the vet yesterday and got the all clear. I've worked with animals for 28 years and this was the first time I actually got attacked so I'm still a little traumatized. Nothing compares to the feeling of a dog having you by your throat.

This could not be more true! I wish clients would understand this!!

Today I lost a client that I had been serving semi-regularly for years. Since they posted an online comment, I want to tell everyone I know that might be a client of Love Fur Dogs why I lost this client, and what that says about me as a business owner. This client came to me […]

Just saw this article in a vet journal. Made me giggle. Most dogs hate their feet touched so while I'm scrubbing their feet and between their toes I say "Cheetos, Fritos, Doritos and Sidney toes (or whatever the pets name is)"
It seems to make them more comfy and they let me do it or they just think I'm crazy and let me do it.

CORN CHIP SMELL
Many pet owners believe that their dog’s paws smell like corn chips (think: Doritos-type smell) or popcorn— and no, they’re not crazy.

This familiar smell is actually caused by the naturally occurring bacteria on your pet’s paws, namely Proteus or Pseudomonas. These are the textbook bacteria that show up just about everywhere including plants, soil, water, and even in humans. They’ve also

been discovered in clouds and ice crystals that are millions of years old.

When pseudomonas grows on rotting foods, it gives off a fruity odor. When it grows on your dog’s paws, it gives off a corn chip odor. More specifically, the bacteria renders and secretes a ye**ty smell that we associate with bread, or corn chips, sort of like our digestive system producing enzymes.

While a hint of odor from the ever present bacteria is no cause for concern, an overwhelming smell is a problem, since we’re still talking about bacteria. Keep in mind that this bacteria will form and attach on even the cleanest feet.

There are steps you can take to curtail the blossoming of a full blown outbreak of yeast and bacteria that make your dog’s paws smell:

First, always make sure your pet’s paws are kept clean. When bathing your dog, make sure to scrub in between each and every toe with warm sudsy water. Thoroughly dry in between each and every toe as well.
