Too much can go wrong. Please take collars off your dog when in your house or in their kennels.

Sweet 14-week-old Golden Retriever puppy Percy is on the road to recovery after spending some time in our ICU over the weekend! He was an excellent patient and feels better already thanks to some time in our state-of-the-art oxygen kennel. In this photo he had popped his little head out to say hello to our staff during one of his treatments, and we don’t think he could get any cuter!

How Percy ended up spending the weekend with us is an important story that his caring owners allowed us to share to help keep other pets safe. Percy and his big brother were rough-housing, when Percy’s collar got stuck on his brother’s mouth. Percy panicked when he was suddenly stuck, and while twisting around trying to escape he caused his collar to become even tighter around his neck! Thankfully their owner noticed quickly that something was wrong and freed Percy before he lost consciousness. When his owners rushed him to see our ER team, Percy was struggling to breathe, drooling profusely, and very distressed. Radiographs showed that Percy had fluid in his lungs (non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema) caused by the time he spent struggling to breathe. Pain medications and oxygen support quickly helped Percy breathe more comfortably as his body worked to heal from the experience.

The strangulation hazard of dogs playing while wearing collars is a hidden danger that many pet owners don’t know about, but a story we hear with some frequency in the ER. Thankfully Percy’s story has a happy ending, but if his owners hadn’t been there to intervene it could have been tragic. Please, get your pups microchipped so they have a permanent form of identification, and then take those collars off when they’re playing with or interacting with other dogs!

Some of you may know that I have picked up a few new hobbies lately. One of them is rug hooking. The rug in this picture will either be a pillow or wall hanging eventually. Well, in Archbold, Ohio, there is a huge show (Sauder Village 2024 Rug Hooking) that I will be attending next Thursday, August 15th. So, I added a couple of days to my vacation. I will be on vacation from August 15th through August 25th. I should not have anyone scheduled during this time. I may not be by my business phone, so please be patient with me, and I will get back to everyones texts (written during my time off) when I get back from vacation. I have been working hard to fit everyone in that has contacted me so far. Can you believe it is almost fall? Where did summer go? Well, hopefully, this doesn't cause any issues for anyone. I really enjoyed my last vacation. Copper Harbor Michigan is a beautiful ride; if you can go, take the trip. Hopefully, everyone is well and happy!! Hug those pups for me!!

I know the costs of things are high. I held off for over a year, raising my prices to make sure people could afford to have their dogs groomed. Many of you increased it yourself with your tips, and I really appreciated this!

On June 1st, I am increasing my grooming prices of $5 for each small dog (around 40 pounds or less) and $10 for each larger dog.

If this is a hardship for anyone, please talk to me, and I will work with you. Please do not stop bringing your dog for grooming due to cost. It is too important for them.

Thank you for understanding!

This is a book to read if you want some info on Wisconsin Puppy Mills. (Available on Amazon). The auctions had taken place in Thorp Wisconsin. Interesting read.
