I have great success with Fit and Quality for my Doberman, Princess Moxie of Rutland.

I love Canada Pooch. I have a Doberman, my Princess Moxie of Rutland. Finding boots, jackets to fit her is very difficult. I have great success with this company on fit and quality.

🚨 Important Update: Leptospirosis Now a Core Vaccine for ALL Dogs
The 2022 AAHA Canine Vaccination Guidelines have been updated to classify the leptospirosis vaccine as CORE for all dogs starting at 12 weeks of age – regardless of lifestyle, location, or breed.
Why the change?
🌆 ALL dogs are at risk—urban, suburban, and rural.
⚠️ Potentially fatal, even with treatment.
🔄 Zoonotic—it can spread from pets to humans.
🏢 Dogs in daycare and kennels also face exposure risks.
You can find the full update in the Nov/Dec issue of JAAHA, or check out the full 2022 Canine Vaccination Guidelines here: aaha.org/canine-vaccinations

As a Professional Groomer for 21 years plus, this was one of my hardest goodbyes.................... Prince Newton was a great dog. ALL my dogs are.

This is one reason I love my job and yet is the hardest part of my job. Saying goodbye, which is a rare thing in my world to have the opportunity to do so. Usually, it is the dreaded phone call after the fact. Prince Newton has been dealing with numerous Immune deficient health issues over the past year. Suffering in skin, organ, and finally neurological issues. I can't express in words what it felt like to give him his last bath, spend time with him in OUR way for one last time after so many years. I will miss my dear freind Prince Newton so much and my sincere condolences to his loving family. I did my best to make our last time together loving, gentle and give him reassurance. Love you, Newton! Hope to see you on the other side one day.

Your dog has the right to peace and privacy when they're out with you. It can be scary for most dogs to have strangers reaching out to touch them. Advocate for your dog and politely protect that space. What are you go-to phrases for saying "give us space"?

FYI: Deer ticks are out in full force right now. They can be as small as the size of pin head. Tick prevention meds for your dog is your best bet. Please check your dog's face, ears, and in between pads on their feet. That is where they most likely hide, yet they can be anywhere on the body. Remember, to also check yourself and your children for ticks. Deer ticks are TINY and yet they can carry many diseases.
