Your dog loves to run and play! You don't want them to trip over their own feet. Having long nails can cause serious injury. Trimming them more often will keep them from breaking, and your pup can run and play!

☀️🐾 Keep Your Pups Cool This Summer! 🐾☀️

Summer is here, and while we love the sunshine, it’s important to keep our furry friends cool and comfortable. Here are some tips to help your pup beat the heat:

Hydration is Key: Always provide plenty of fresh water for your dog. Consider adding ice cubes for an extra cool treat! 💧🧊

Shady Spots and Cool Resting Places: Ensure your dog has access to shady areas and cool places to rest. Avoid hot pavement during walks, as it can burn their paws. 🌳🌡️

Frozen Treats: Make dog-friendly frozen treats at home. Try freezing low-sodium broth or yogurt in ice cube trays for a refreshing snack. 🍦🐶

Shorter Walks, Cooler Times: Walk your dog during the cooler parts of the day—early morning or late evening. This helps prevent overheating and paw burns. 🌅🌇

Grooming Maintenance: Regular grooming can help keep your dog’s coat clean and mat-free, allowing better air circulation. However, avoid shaving double-coated breeds as their fur helps regulate temperature. 🛁✂️

Kiddie Pools and Sprinklers: Set up a kiddie pool or let your dog play in the sprinkler for some water fun and cooling off. 💦🏊‍♂️

Keep these tips in mind to ensure a safe and happy summer for your pup! Share your favorite ways to keep your dog cool in the comments below! 🐕❤️

🌟🐾 Did you know? Dogs have THREE eyelids! 🐾🌟

That's right! In addition to the upper and lower lids, dogs have a third eyelid called the nictitating membrane or "haw." This amazing third eyelid helps keep their eyes moist and protected, providing an extra layer of defense against debris and injury. Just one more reason to marvel at our furry friends! 🐶👀❤️

Incase you didn't know here are some fun facts about grooming little dogs!

Big Personalities in Small Packages: Little dogs often have big personalities, making grooming sessions an entertaining experience. They might have unique preferences and quirks that add a touch of fun to their grooming routine.

Easier Maneuverability: Grooming smaller dogs is often more manageable due to their size. It’s easier to handle and maneuver them, making the process smoother and more efficient, especially for delicate tasks like nail trimming.

Frequent Baths: Small dogs tend to get dirty more quickly because they are closer to the ground. Regular baths not only keep them clean but also help maintain their coat’s health and shine.

Fashion Forward: Many small dog breeds are popular for their stylish haircuts and accessories. From adorable bows to trendy bandanas, grooming small dogs often includes fun fashion elements that highlight their cuteness.

Less Shedding, More Maintenance: While some small dogs shed less, they often require more frequent grooming to prevent mats and tangles. Regular brushing and professional grooming help keep their coats looking fabulous and healthy.

Does your dog have a double coat? Here are 5 Great tips for your grooming routine!

Regular Brushing: Double-coated dogs need frequent brushing to prevent mats and tangles. Use an undercoat rake or slicker brush to reach both the topcoat and undercoat. Aim for at least 2-3 times a week, increasing during shedding seasons.

Seasonal Shedding Management: Double-coated dogs shed heavily, especially during spring and fall. During these times, daily brushing can help manage the shedding and keep your home cleaner.

Avoid Shaving: Never shave a double-coated dog unless advised by a vet for medical reasons. Their coats provide insulation from both heat and cold, and shaving can disrupt this natural protection.

Professional Grooming: Schedule regular professional grooming sessions, especially if you’re unable to manage the grooming at home. A groomer can handle deep cleaning, deshedding treatments, and any trimming needed to maintain the coat’s health.

Proper Tools: Invest in quality grooming tools such as a slicker brush, undercoat rake, and a good-quality blow dryer. These tools make grooming easier and more effective.

Nothing better then some cat snuggles! While you are getting your hugs in today for National Hug Your Cat Day here are three facts to consider when getting your cat professionally groomed:

Reduces Shedding and Hairballs: Regular grooming helps reduce shedding and minimizes the formation of hairballs. By brushing your cat frequently, you remove loose hair before your cat ingests it while self-grooming.

Prevents Mats and Tangles: Grooming prevents mats and tangles, which can be uncomfortable and even painful for cats. Regular brushing, especially for long-haired breeds, keeps their coats smooth and free of knots.

Health Check: Grooming sessions are an excellent opportunity to check your cat for any signs of health issues, such as skin problems, lumps, or parasites. Regular grooming helps you catch any potential issues early.

We do cats one day a month (no dogs allowed!) Call our salon to find out when this months cat day is and to book your appointment!
