Isn’t this the truth?

It’s a valid excuse.

The Last Battle

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this — the last battle — can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.

We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close — we two — these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

They may be gone, but they are never forgotten.

Sometimes you get enough hair out of a dog during the bath that it begins to take on a life of its own. What shall we call our new friend?

08/28/2024

Did you know we offer more than just clean dogs here? We also have custom made pet gear! For many years we’ve been proud partners with The Sweet Petite Pet, a local pet jewelry and harness maker. She can take your pet’s fashion goals and bring them to life!

How’s it work you ask? Simple! Just find a style and pattern you like, or let us know what you’re looking for, try on the sample sizes to figure out what size your pet needs, fill out the order form and we’ll submit the order for you! Every style can be made with or without skirts, a pompom hem can be added, or even a tag with their initial! Your pet’s harness will be custom made for them and delivered back to the shop within a couple of weeks and each harness even comes with a matching leash!

She also makes adorable pet necklaces! We keep a selection of her most popular pieces and sizes at the shop but she is more than happy to make one bigger or smaller to fit your pet perfectly. And while you’re at it, why not pick up a matching bracelet for yourself?

From Aggies to Astros, for Swifties and surfers, she does it all! Check them out in the lobby and make your pet the envy of the neighborhood! Here is the current display and some of her happy clients.

Share with your friends who might need to glam up their pets! You don’t have to be a client of ours to place an order!

Who knew there was a term for this?

It’s National Dog Day! So let’s see those fuzzy faces! And who knows, if we see enough of them maybe we’ll pick one to get a free spa upgrade on their next visit😉

Meet Georgie! Georgie isn’t the biggest fan of grooming, but he REALLY likes cheese. So by making a game of ‘catch the cheese’ while he’s being brushed and trimmed grooming becomes fun for everyone!

08/20/2024

I mean, can you blame him?

08/18/2024

Exactly right!

I love it when clients get creative and have fun with their pups! Check out this fun video Luna’s human made!

For Poodle lovers! Almost all of these photos and videos are from the July 2024 Houston Dog Show. Enjoy! ...

Just a reminder, if you’re looking to add a four legged family member to your family, support reputable breeders or reputable rescues. Both screen potential homes and would never allow their puppies to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Hope all those kiddos had a great first day of school!! Aggies enjoy your last couple of days of summer and good luck for the first day next week!

Did you know that pet grooming is a completely unregulated industry? There is no requirement for formal education, no required continuing education, and no required testing or certification?

Anyone and everyone can just pick up a pair of clippers and start advertising themselves as a groomer and charge people for a service they aren’t trained to perform.

It’s completely up to you, the owner, to do your research and make sure the person you are trusting with the health and safety of your pet is qualified to care for them.

Every groomer should be trained, and that very basic training takes months.

It takes years to truly master the ins and outs of grooming and everything that goes along with it.

Pet grooming is so much more than just a hair style.

*It’s knowing dog behavior and how to safely handle all the different personalities and quirks.

*It’s recognizing health conditions that would be better suited seeing a vet such as skin or ear infections.

*It’s being prepared for any and all emergencies that can happen, from seizures to allergic reactions, to nicks and cuts and quicked toenails without panicking.

*It’s knowing how to best deal with a variety of coat types properly.

*It’s being able to know when to stop a service on a particular dog due to behavior or health.

*It’s having the knowledge and patience to handle a different species while holding razor sharp clippers or 8 inch long scissors.

At the very least, the groomer you use should seek out continuing education to make sure they are current on the changes in the industry, from upgrades in products to tools that make the process easier for the pet and them.

They should be current on their pet cpr/first aid certification which needs repeated every couple of years.

They should be able to answer your grooming related questions with knowledge and confidence and if they don’t know the answer they should know where to find it.

They should have an emergency plan in place with a local veterinarian in case anything happens, because when working with animals it’s not a matter of if something happens, but when.

They should come recommended by other pet owners and pet professionals.

And it’s worth noting that there is nothing wrong with using a groomer that is still in training, but they should be working alongside an experienced groomer and under their direct supervision.

Ask the questions, after all you are paying them for a service. A groomer who has spent time and money to be as educated as possible is excited to share their knowledge!

Georgie!

All about reverse sneezing

Have you ever heard of Reverse Sneezing? Has your dog ever made that snorting, honking, gasping sound through their nose? Have you always wondered what it was, what caused it, and how to fix it? Good news, Angel here wanted to help us teach you! During her appointment this week she had a ‘reverse sneezing’ episode during her bath and we were able to catch it on camera for you. Reverse sneezing sounds like the dog is actually inhaling their sneezes, leading to the name “reverse sneezing.” It’s a loud, snorting sound that can sometimes sound like a goose honking or be confused with the dog choking or having an asthma attack. The causes of reverse sneezing are many, but most often episodes are caused by overexcitement, a nasal irritant such as dust or pollen, allergies, pulling on a leash, or an elongated soft palate (more common in brachycephalic or squashed nose breeds). In the grooming salon overexcitement is the most common cause and we see it most regularly at drop off and pick up. These episodes usually last less than 30 seconds and resolve on their own, but there are a few tricks you can try to stop them quicker. The goal is to get the pup to swallow, similar to how if you have a tickle in your throat swallowing can ease it. To accomplish this you can: *gently cover one or both nostrils until the dog swallows/licks their nose (this is what we did in the video) *carefully blow in their face until they lick/swallow *gently massage their throat to stimulate them to swallow *give a small treat to make them swallow The good news is that reverse sneezing is generally harmless and should only be concerning if it is happening frequently or your pup doesn’t seem able to come out of an episode. In those cases veterinary advice and/or treatment should be sought out.

This is Poppy! Poppy LOVES her squeaky pig. After her grooming she allows us 2.5 seconds to get a photo before she demands we throw it for her. She then carries it to her kennel where she leaves it and comes to demand her post grooming treat. We love Poppy!

Happy Thursday from Kevin and his tongue!

It’s easy to tell how Dublin feels about his post bath fluff out!
