Did you know MagnaWave is a great way to promote your pet's whole body wellness and overall health naturally?
Groomingdales Pet Spa will be working alongside Jacki Howell owner of Twin Blazes Wellness to bring your pet complete tranquility and body wellness by alleviating inflammation.
CALL, TEXT, OR PM us for more information!
Here's everything you should know about MagnaWave for your pet -
How it Works -
Using PEMF, blood oxygen is increased, the lymphatic system is activated and acupuncture points are stimulated. Oxygenating the blood helps relieve inflammation, and because all pain is caused by inflammation, we can relieve the pain and swelling. This means your pet's body can begin to heal itself naturally. MagnaWave sends a pulsating charge through tissue to treat focal areas. These areas are identified by twitching muscles. This helps to pinpoint problem areas and treat the source of pain rather than simply manage symptoms. Generally pets enjoy MagnaWave PEMF sessions and, depending on the case, improvement may be seen after a single treatment.
Benefits of MagnaWave -
PEMF is non-invasive, can be applied anywhere and treatment sessions may help a range of issues including:
~ Arthritis
~ Injuries
~ Wounds
~ Cancers
~ Circulatory problems
~ Fractures
~ Spinal cord problems
~ Seizure disorders
~ Skin disorders
~ Aging
~ Diabetes complications
and many more.
How long do sessions take?
Standard sessions take about an 30 minutes and treat the neck, shoulders, back and hind quarters. Additional areas can be added or sessions can be customized to suit your pet's needs
How many sessions does it take to see results?
It really depends on the individual pet. In most cases, you’ll see some improvement after the first couple of sessions. We suggest continuing sessions as long as your pet continues to experience positive results.
What type of animals can benefit from Magna Wave?
Magna Wave is great for all animals! Contact us to find out how we can help.
Happy Valentine’s Day from Groomingdale’s and our little cherubs. Thanks for showing us love not just today but everyday 🐾💕
Did someone say SNOW DAY?!
Yes 😩 Unfortunately, Groomingdale's Pet Spa will be closed today due to the snow. But don't worry, we've got some tips to help you manage your pup's grooming needs at home while we wait out this snowy weather!
1. PAW CARE IS A MUST! 🐾🐾
Unless you and your dog never step one foot outside in winter, your pup’s paws will need extra TLC once the temperatures drop. First, you need to protect her paws from the salt, sand and ice melts that litter the streets and sidewalks. The easiest protection you can provide is a set of dog booties, but not all dogs are happy to wear them. If your dog is braving the cold with naked paws, give them a wash in warm water whenever you come in from outside. Salt and sand can make their way between the toes and irritate the skin (or burn, in the case of salt). Are the bottoms of your dog’s paws dry or chapped? Apply a paw balm. You can also rub on some balm before your walks, which provides a layer of protection when outside. You’ll still need to wash her paws off after you get back to remove anything that’s embedded in the balm. Also, keep your dog’s paw hair trimmed to prevent snow, ice, salt and sand from sticking to it and causing tangles or irritating her paw pads.
2. Trim Nails More Often 💅
Ever noticed your own nails are more brittle and prone to breaking during the winter? The same is true for your pup. Cold temperatures, snow, and low humidity are the perfect storm for brittle nails. And when nails are brittle, they break. Broken nails can cause bleeding, but even if there’s no blood, they can still be painful for your pooch. Keeping your dog’s nails short all winter long is the best way to keep them from breaking. You may notice you need to trim them more often. Because dogs are usually less active in the winter, their nails don’t wear down as much on their own. As a result, they seem to grow faster. If their nails get too long, it upsets the structure of their foot, affects the way they walk, and can cause early-onset arthritis. Nails can also curl into the paw pad and cut them and potentially cause an infection.
3. Don't Skimp on the Brushing‼️
Keeping your dog’s coat long does not mean cutting out the brushing. In fact, regular brushing is just as important in the winter as it is in the summer. If anything, you should be grooming your dog more often in the winter. Leaving shed fur behind is a sure-fire way to ensure your dog’s hair winds up tangled and matted. Especially with longer hair dogs, we recommend getting them groomed more often to maintain their coat. Mats prevent airflow and moisture can get trapped in there creating bacteria. Brushing is also important if your dog likes to roll around in the snow and ice. Thorough brushing after snowy romps helps get any debris out. And, prevents mats from developing.
4. Use a Conditioner 🐶💆♂️💁♀️
Dry air is a killer in the winter, sucking the moisture out of every last place it can, including your dog’s skin and fur. And that can lead to dandruff, irritated and itchy skin, and fur that doesn’t keep your dog as warm as it should. A lot of dogs have skin issues in the winter because it gets so dry. Regular bathing will help get rid of anything that’s an irritant. Then, after the shampoo, which strips off all the oils, you want to condition to replace those oils and alleviate any itchiness or hot spots. If you’ve always used conditioner during a bath, great. If not, winter is the perfect time to add an ultra-moisturizing conditioner to your dog’s bathing routine. There are also leave-in conditioners that provide an even deeper moisturizing treatment. Short-furred dogs like Pitbulls and English Bulldogs are particularly prone to dry skin. Well-conditioned fur also keeps away those nasty wintertime static shocks.
5. Give Your Pup’s Nose Some TLC 👃🥰
Though a dog’s nose isn’t normally a part of most grooming rituals, in the winter it needs some extra care. All that dry air, wreaking havoc on your pooch’s skin and nails? It’s doing the same thing to her nose. A dry, cracked nose is uncomfortable for your dog and can even impact her sense of smell. Use a nose balm (or a combo paw and nose balm) to help keep your dog’s nose soft and moist all winter long.🐶

Need to bathe your pup in a pinch? Well, here are the steps we recommend when pampering your pooch at home -
1. Make sure you have all the necessary tools needed for bathing you dirty little puppy such as shampoo, tearless shampoo, conditioner, a loofah, towels, a non-slip bath mat, leave in conditioner, cottons balls, eyewash, and treats of course!
2. If your pup is prone to ear infections, then we recommend putting cotton balls in your dog's ears to prevent water from flowing down the ear ca**l. Also, apply an eyewash to your pups eyes after bathing them.
3. Make sure you're using dog specific shampoo and conditioner. Dogs have different pH levels than their humans, so using a shampoo and conditioner that is specifically made for your pup will ensure their skin stays in great shape. Groomingdale's Pet Spa specifically uses Bark2Basics Crystal Clear Shampoo which gently cleans and delivers nutrients to the coat and Bark2Basics oatmeal conditioner.
4. Always dilute your shampoos and conditioners. Not only does it make it easier to spread and sud on your pup's coat, but it also prevents the shampoo from stripping your pups natural oils from their skin and coat and leaving your pup's skin dry and irritated. Even soothing shampoos like oatmeal shampoos and hypoallergenic shampoos should be diluted. If your dog shampoo bottle does not have a dilution ratio on it, refer to a dog shampoo dilution chart online.
5. Shampoo your dogs coat twice and then condition it. The first shampoo washes all the dirt, grime, and any products you use on your dog's coat in between washes and grooms. The second shampoo is to gain the benefits of the ingredients in the shampoo. Then apply conditioner and let it sit for a few minutes. Lastly, rinse the conditioner from the coat thoroughly to ensure no product is left in your dog's coat.
6. Towel-dry your dog the best you can. If you have a leave in conditioner spray, make sure to spray and rub it in prior to blowdrying. Then, use either a dog-specific force dryer or a human hairdryer on a medium or cool setting. We also recommend brushing your dog as he dries to ensure his or her coat is tangle free and fluffed. You also could air-dry your dog, as long as it's not too chilly. in your home. If you're air-drying your dog try brushing your dog every 10 or 15 minutes as that'll help limit your pups hair from curling or tangling together.
7. Always reward your dog for their spa time. Whether you're washing your pet or doing your daily brushing, make sure you're rewarding your pet throughout the grooming process. A tasty treat after their at home spa time lets your furry friend know they did a great job and they'll start to associate grooming time with treats. It will make future grooming time a breeze for both you and your pup!
If the thought of washing your four legged baby at home gives you anxiety, then contact us and we'll be more than happy to save you from running after you pup to get them in the tub and the mess that comes after it all. We're open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:45am to 4pm by appointment only.
Do you brush your pet's coat on a daily basis?
If not, we recommend getting in the routine of brushing your pup daily to help maintain their skin and coat.
Regular brushing and combing through your pet's coat can help minimize matting, loosen and remove dead hair trapped in their coat, and helps to stimulate their skin. Brushing can also relax your pup and help create a special bonding time between you and your furry friend. Your pup should see brushing and regular grooming as a way of life rather than a punishment. That's why we suggest introducing grooming, whether at home or at a grooming salon, into your routine with your pets.
Here are some of our answers to questions we are asked on a regular basis -
Q. Why should we brush our dog?
A. No matter the breed or size of your dog, brushing is a necessity. Brushing helps to remove dead hair and skin cells, distribute oils from your dog's skin, keeps your pet from becoming matted resulting in having your dog shaved, and it can also limit how much hair is falling onto your floor and furniture by removing their seasonal coat.
Q. What age should we start brushing our dog?
A. The earlier you're introducing brushing into your pet's routine, the better! If you recently got a puppy, you should introduce brushing as soon as possible, but always keep your grooming introductions short and sweet. That goes for professional grooms or at home grooming. Positively introducing grooming allows your new pup to build a positive association with brushes and grooming in general. Always praise and love on your puppy while introducing them to grooming.
Q. How often should I brush my dog?
A. As often as you can. Daily brushing is ideal, but we know everyone has a busy life, so if you can do it every other day or so that is fine too. However, the longer you go without brushing your dog, the more likely it is that mats can form on a longer coated dog or the more time you're giving undercoat to grow back in on double coated pups.
Q. Is a brushing routine the same for all dogs?
A. Depending on the length and coat type of the dog.
* Shorter haired dogs: ie Boxers, Labs, Pitbulls, Weimaraners, Pugs, Frenchies don't need to b e brushed as frequently since their hair cannot tangle or mat. You can still use a curry brush or rubber deshedding brush to help remove some of their shedding hair. It is not useful or necessary to use a slicker brush or comb on this coat type.
* Curly coated dogs: ie Bichon Frise, Doodles, Poodles, Spaniels, Bedlingtons, etc. should be brushed every day! Because of how thick and curly these coats can be, it is best to brush as often as possible to ensure you're removing any tangles and preventing their coat from matting.
*Double coats: ie Akita, Alaskan Malamute, Bernese Mountain, Chow Chow, Collie, German Shepherd, Husky, Old English Sheepdog, Leonberger, Pomeranian, St. Bernard, Spitz, etc should be brushed 2-3 times a week to assist in removing their undercoat and help limit the amount of hair they shed all over your home. This undercoat can become matted if it's not being brushed on a regular basis. We strongly suggest regular grooming whether at home or in a professional salon to help reduce matting and the chance of ever having to shave these double coated breeds.
Q. What is a good brushing technique?
A. We always suggest "Line Brushing" your pup. Line brushing is a grooming technique that can be used on all dogs apart from short haired dogs. Line brushing is different than just running a brush on the top layer of your dog's coat, which does nothing for the layer of the hair closest to the skin, nor does it help the undercoat of double coated dogs. Although it can be time consuming, it is a gentle way of untangling their coat and also a good way of looking over their skin. the proper way of line brushing is to start at the feet and work your way up the legs, then the body, and lastly the neck and head of the dog. You want to start at the ends of the hair and then work your way down to the root of the hair. While you're brushing, you want to hold the top portion of the hair that you're not brushing with the opposite hand you're not brushing with. This ensures you're working in small portions and getting to every part of the dog's body without missing anything.
Q. Is it better to brush my dog wet or dry?
A. You should always brush your dog while their coat is dry. Wet hair can make existing matting worse and harder to remove. Always brush your dog prior to a bath to ensure you're not setting existing mats.
Q. Can brushing hurt my dog?
A. No, unless you're digging the brush into the dog's skin or you're brushing the dog in the same area too many times resulting in brush burn. Signs of brush burn include irritated skin, reddened skin, scrapes, etc.

With the winter storm approaching tomorrow into Sunday, we know salting your driveways is a must and many sidewalks/roads will be covered with salt. We want to make sure our Groomingdales Pet Spa family are prepared and protected against the snowy weather these next few months. Here are some tips and tricks to ensure your pups paws are protected this winter!
1. Regular grooming
First of all, make sure your dog’s paws are winter-ready. Good grooming is essential for healthy winter feet. Trim long-haired dogs to make it harder for bits of ice, salt crystals or ice-melting chemicals to dry and cling to their skin. Take special care when doing their feet, and trim any extra hair growing on the paws.
2. Regular cleaning
Washing dog paws in the shower
Whether walking through city or country, avoiding all the ice-melting salt on the roads can be almost impossible in winter. So be sure to clean your dog’s paws as soon as you’re back home. Warm water and a cloth should do the trick. Then of course, make sure your dog doesn’t stay wet for too long. Dry your furry friend off with towels and let them sit by the fireplace if you have one.
While walking, have a towel on hand to immediately clean any snow, salt or debris that gets on your dog’s paws.
3. Short dog walks
Dogs left in the cold for long periods of time are also at risk of frostbite on paws and hypothermia. In general, dogs should avoid spending hours out in the cold. In winter, frequent short walks are better for your dog than a single long daily walk.
Because during cold months like fall and winter, staying active is a great way to ensure your dog isn’t suffering from stiff joints and discomfort. Even just a few minutes of playtime per day can help keep them happy and healthy. If it’s too cold outdoors, indoor games like hide and seek or tug of war work just fine. Besides keeping you and your dog active, it’s also a great way to spend some quality time with your buddy.
4. Moisturize dog paws
Many of us need a little extra moisture in winter, and we use creams, lotions and moisturizers to keep our skin soft and healthy. Our furry friends can benefit from this too! Use a store-bought dog paw balm, such as Vitamin E cream1, or a homemade recipe like the one below to protect your dog’s paws in snow.
Homemade dog paw balm recipe
Ingredients:
80 ml olive oil
30 g organic shea butter
15 g beeswax
20 g pine resin (collected or ordered online)
3 tsp marigold (don’t have any? ask your neighbor if they have some in their garden)
1 small jam glass to store the cream
Instructions:
Put all the ingredients together in the glass.
To melt and combine the ingredients, put the glass inside a bowl of hot water for approximately 30 minutes (being careful not to get any water into your mixture).
When you notice the cream starting to get a medium consistency (not too thick and not too runny), take it out, put it in another glass and leave it to cool down.
This recipe makes 150 grams of homemade dog paw balm. All these ingredients are very powerful when used together; some have anti-inflammatory properties, while others have a calming effect on the skin.
The balm can be applied anytime; after a bath, after exposure to cold air, or just before you put on your dog’s shoes. Your pup will love being pampered after receiving their dog paw moisturizing treatment!
5. Dog boots
Just as wearing boots in the winter protects your feet, dog shoes or booties will prevent injury and protect dog paws in snow. Dog boots will protect your dog’s paws from salt, ice balls and sharp items that may be hidden under the snow. Your pup may not like the boots at the beginning but, with a little time and patience, you can train your dog to love wearing their booties!
Dog boots are also an excellent way to prevent your dog from slipping or falling on the ice. During cold months and when it’s icy or snowy outdoors, the roads and paths around you might get more slippery. Which increases the risk of injuries if you (or your dog) take a tumble.

Your dog’s paws are also likely to come in contact with any salt you sprinkle to melt ice and snow. However, be mindful that this salt might irritate the pads of your dog’s paws. (And might be toxic if your dog licks their paws by accident.) Make sure to invest in a good, solid pair of rubber booties to help your dog keep up with you during your winter walks – and also protect them from any harsh chemicals and ice.
Don’t keep your dog’s boots on for too long either. Rather, wash them thoroughly after your walk to remove any ice or salt.
6. Beware the cold
It’s good to remember that if the weather is too cold for you, it’s probably too cold for your dog. Our furry companions should remain indoors as much as possible during the winter months and never be left alone in vehicles when it’s really cold.
7. Be mindful of your friend
During winter time, try to care for your dog’s feet like you do your own. When your feet get cold, sore, and blistered, the discomfort can make you miserable. Your dog feels the same way. Pay attention to your dog’s behavior to check for any signs of discomfort or distress. Show your dog a little love during winter by taking good care of their paws.
Happy Holidays Groomingdale’s family! Thank you for a wonderful year and for trusting us with your pups! We had a blast taking photos of our adorable clients and their humans. Wishing you all a Happy & Healthy New Year! Hope to see you at our Valentine’s Day shoot 🥰💕
