I am addressing the "mystery dog illness" that is on local & national news.

It is my utmost priority to keep your dog healthy & happy while in my care. To educate myself in efforts to maintain a safe environment during your dog's grooming appointment, I have contacted several veterinary practices. The information given is essentially then same from all practices.

Note that this is an airborne type illness; therefore, I cannot provide a 100% germ free environment.

I plan to take rigorous precautions now and will adjust as needed.

(1)Expensive medical grade UV air/ozone scrubbers have been ordered adding another layer of defence to my sanitation regimen. (2) It would be best for dogs to arrive as close to the appointment and picked up promptly after grooming is completed. I will no longer keep dogs for an extended period!!
(3) Appointments MUST be pushed out 14 days from the last day a dog has attended daycare and/or boarded. Most of my dogs have reoccurring appointments. If your dog's appointment needs to be rescheduled due to the 14 day policy mentioned, I'll do my best to get your dog on the schedule, but I cannot promise how soon.

I highly encourage you to contact your vet to discuss your pup's risk level.

Please be patient & mindful that decisions made are for the best effort to keep your family pet safe.

Let's work together to get through this time of uncertainty.

~~Well said~~

I can't take him to the beach for a walk because it annoys you and disturbs the vacation... I have no right to rent a house if I have a dog, nor can I take him on public transportation.
However, I can take it to the rubble to find you after an earthquake, in the woods after you got lost in the mountains and had no map or gps; under the snow because you took a detour forbidden off the track; in the water because despite the red flag you have entered the sea, and your life is in danger!
And finally ...
He is just a dog, but he or she will find you. And it will save you!!!
Dedicated to all who DO NOT love dogs!

Many people do not realize how serious matting of a dog's coat can be.
Matting restricts blood flow, which causes bruise-like areas. Also, matting hinders air to reach the skin. Dampness trapped under matting can cause yeast or infections also.
This photo is of a matted dog that had to be shaven. Take a close look at the hair near the neck. From the topside, the coat looks normal, but the hair next to the skin is matted. The hair has interlocked to the point it is like the underside of carpet
I see dogs in this shape daily. Look at his skin.

I'd say this doodle is so comfortable with her groomer that she falls asleep in the grooming table.
