Welcome, Scottish terrier puppy Odie! ❤️

Remember, it is very important to handstrip wire coated dogs in order to maintain a healthy coat and skin by removing dead hair which in turn stops follicles from becoming clogged and getting irritated. When we handstrip, we encourage the growth of new, healthy hair to take its place!

Really proud of this month's column in magazine - important but simple point about the life saving work that your dog groomer can do for you.

I have saved several dogs’ lives. I know this because their veterinarians told the dogs’ owners that I did and the owners called or came in to thank me.

Important things to know about the big eclipse today. Most of your dogs won't even notice anything is going on. Contrary to stories being passed around, they're not going to even look up at the sun as that's not something that interests them. They are going to observe your general excitement though and react accordingly.

As we approach E-day, it's important to know how it can affect our furry friends. Here are some facts for concerned pet owners:
Pets won’t look at the sun.
Eclipses don’t pose the danger of panic that fireworks or thunderstorms do.
Animals outside of the path of totality are unlikely to notice anything!
Keeping pets away from eclipse events, where humans are likely to be very excited, can prevent anxiety.

Enjoy the wonder of nature and remember: your dogs aren't going to care enough to look. ;)
