We will be closed tomorrow due to the extreme cold temperatures expected

01/15/2025

Note: as of February 1st, we will be open Wednesdays-Saturdays, closed, S-M-T. We are still accepting new clients and will be working at the same volume. I will be filming on Tuesdays for a YouTube video channel that I’m creating that focuses on learning to groom for those already in the industry, people new to the grooming world, and talking about the sport and science of dogs in general to include conversations with breeders, handlers, other groomers and professionals in this field.

I’m also going to specifically hand-pick clients that I’d like to use as subjects in this video, generally based on coat type, how well they groom, breed type, etc.

Please look for us on YouTube. I’ll post more as this transpires.

What do you feed a dog with a yeast infection? Ideally it is a diet that is low in sugar and carbohydrates to discourage yeast overgrowth.

Like Doodles but don’t want to deal with their high-maintenance grooming needs, the Curly Coated Retriever is for you.

Welcome, Curly Coated Retriever owners!! Today is all about your breed, and we look forward to learning all about them. We always start our Purebred of Interest feature by asking you how came to choose THIS breed as the one for you? Where did you see your first one, and what about it made you decide that it was THE one for you?

Factoid: The CCR is the oldest of the surviving English retrievers, and the first breed to be used seriously as a retriever in England. In fact, some historians suspect that it may also have been first breed of dog known formally as a “retriever” in England.

Before then, there was no retriever breed, per se. The word ‘retriever’ simply referred to any dog that retrieved, and that could include sheepdogs, spaniels and setters. Curlies were likely the result of crosses involving the Large Rough Water Dog (a descendent of the English Water Spaniel) the Tweed Water Spaniel, and, according to the UK’s Curly Coated Retriever Club, possibly the Irish Water Spaniel, the Wetterhound, Barbet, and Poodle.

Just a note, if you tell me that you’ve been taking a scissors to your dogs mats and I tell you that it is very dangerous to do so, I’m being heartfelt and serious about that. I’ve seen some stunning injuries over the years from owners who, though meaning well, take that first cut on a dog, thinking they’re under the mat and it’s safe, and end up slicing open the first layer of skin on a dog (which then turns into this large wound that keeps getting bigger because of lack of skin tension). That’s not me being a know-it-all, that’s me letting you know what’s going to happen and if it hasn’t already, it’s pure luck. If you don’t want to roll the dice and subject your pet to anesthesia, sutures, medications, etc. and obviously pain, please don’t do this. Come here and I’ll shave them out for you in 30 seconds.

On that note, there is a new emergency vet in Oak Creek (next to Panera in the old Famous Footware location) and I’ve been hearing great things about them. Make a point to become familiar with them because you never know when you may need them. It looks like they open at 3:00pm.
