IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!
Canine Respiratory Illness
In regards to the respiratory illness that is going around the country, there is a lot of misinformation out there. I want to share with you what I have learned so far and what our new protocols for the health of your dogs will be in our shops.
As of right now this has not yet entered Minnesota. With that being said, Christmas is coming and there will be a lot of travel. If it is possible, leave your dogs at home. One of the biggest defenses in fighting the spread of this illness is to not expose your dogs. This illness has been detected in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois. It is around us, my fear is that with all of the travel it will be here quickly.
It is undetermined whether this illness is a virus or bacteria. It is airborne, spread through direct contact and surface contact. It can take 10-14 days before you see symptoms. Symptoms can include but are not limited to coughing, lethargy, lack of interest in food or water, and fever. If you notice any of these symptoms, you should contact your veterinarian right away. Dogs at high risk currently are puppies, elderly dogs, brachycephalic breeds, ie. Shihtzus, Frenchies, Bulldogs, Boston, Pugs, anything with a smooshed face. It is not limited to these dogs however. Your first line of defense is to have your dog vaccinated. Many people do not realize that their dogs' distemper vaccine has multiple vaccines in the one injection. The common abbreviations for the Distemper vaccine are DHPP, DAPP, DHLPP. The "D" is for Distemper, "H" is for Hepatitis, "A" is for Adenovirus, "P" is for Parvovirus and the 2nd "P" is Parainflueza. Your dog should have a current Distemper vaccine, it covers a multitude of illnesses. The Bordetella vaccine (kennel cough) should also be current. Several things to remember about these vaccines. Once vaccinated it can take up to 30 days for the vaccine to be effective in your dog's system. If they are not current on these vaccines, have them updated sooner than later. No vaccine is 100%. Just because your dog is current on all vaccines does not mean they can not still get sick.
The importance of limiting your dog's exposure to other dogs right now is key. This means not having your dogs in areas that other dogs are. Dog parks, doggy daycare, kennels, and yes, even the groomer. For many breeds, grooming is a necessity for their proper health and can not be avoided. With this being said, we are taking extra precautions at our shops to mitigate the possibility of this illness from being spread. We already do not allow dogs in our care to have nose to nose contact. We are doing extra disinfecting of tables and kennels. I am looking into "hepa" filters for our holding areas. We are asking all clients if their dogs have been boarded or to doggy daycare in the last 3 weeks and taking extra precautions if they have been.
If your dog has been exposed to another dog showing illness or your dog is showing any signs of illness, please call and cancel your appointment. We only charge a fee when someone no call no shows. We will not charge you a fee for canceling at the last minute because your dog is ill. We will do our best to get you back on the schedule as soon as your veterinarian has cleared your dog to be around other dogs. This is so important to the health of everyone's pets and to stop the spread of this illness.
I will do my best to keep everyone updated on the latest information about this illness as it becomes available and to any changes in our policies and procedures going forward. I hope this helps to answer some questions, feel free to call us if you have any further questions or concerns.
Below I have posted a recent letter written by AKC that gives some good general information. Although it relates to dog shows, it is something we can all use.

This is an example of why we do not use harsh "de shedding" shampoo treatments. The first 2 photos you can see all of the loose undercoat that needs to come out. It looks like webbing. The 3rd photo shows how a proper bath, conditioner and blowout with minimal brushing works. Those harsh shampoos strip the hair and skin of their necessary oils and moisture they need to maintain balance. This Sheltie has bad seasonal allergies, had I stripped his skin and coat with harsh chemicals his allergy situation would have only become much worse. Love my job!

I want to personally thank every single client who has supported me and this business for the past 18 1/2 years. I went from just trying to support my kids out of my basement to 2 locations and 20 employees. We all rely on our jobs to support ourselves and our families.
This past year has been especially difficult with the mass shortage of groomers who have left our industry since Covid-19 and the number of pets that were gained in households during that time. You see the effects in the veterinary industry as well with long wait times to get appointments.
Please know we are doing our very best to make sure we can take care of everyone as soon as possible. We have recently added new staff members to our team. However, it takes time to learn and train.
Please offer some grace when calling and talking with our receptionists. They are doing the best they can with what is available to them. Our groomer's are also doing their best to make sure your pets are safe and well taken care of when they are in our care. Sometimes, this may take more time than what you might be expecting.
I am asking for everyone to be kind and to remember we are all human. We have always had your pets' best interests first.
Thank you for your understanding and kindness.
Sincerely,
Garci Crouch
