🌟 **A Friendly Reminder from Your Grooming Salon** 🌟

Hey there, wonderful pet parents! 🐾 We hope you and your furry friends are having a fantastic day! As we strive to provide the best grooming experience for your beloved pets, we want to take a moment to talk about an important topic: no-shows.

When a scheduled appointment is missed without any notice, it can be tough on our small team. Here’s why:

1. Lost Time: Each appointment slot is reserved specifically for your pet. When someone doesn’t show up, that time could have been used to care for another furry friend in need of grooming.

2. Impact on Our Team: Our groomers work hard to provide each pet with the attention and care they deserve. No-shows disrupt our schedule, leave us scrambling to find a way to keep our groomers busy, and make it challenging to maintain our high standards. Today for example, our groomers were here, clocked in, and ready to work only to have to sit and wait for what would end up being multiple no-shows. They could have even stayed home and not wasted the trip if we had only gotten a simple text message.

3. Financial Strain: Every missed appointment means lost revenue for our business. As a small salon, we rely on each booking to keep our doors open and continue providing great services.

We are human too and fully understand that life can be unpredictable! (Especially in crazy Kansas winters 😜) If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give us a call or send a quick message as soon as you know you won’t make it or will be late. Your courtesy not only helps us but also ensures we can continue to serve you and your pets with love and care.

Thank you for being a part of our grooming family! We appreciate your understanding and support. 🐶❤️🐱

With gratitude,
Sunflower Pet Spa

🌧️ Attention Doggie Parents! 🐶

The enormous amount of snow we accumulated in Topeka over the last 2 days has made it very difficult for our staff and our patrons to get out of driveways and parking lots, and most side streets have not yet been cleared. Our parking spaces are still barricaded by a wall of snow created by city plows as well.

As all of our grooms for tomorrow have asked to reschedule already, we will also be *closing for daycare tomorrow* for our staff. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. We hope this extra day will give the city time to get caught up and allow our team members time to get their vehicles dug out and operating safely.

Stay safe and warm, and we can’t wait to see all the pups back when the roads are all cleared up! 🐾❤️. Stay tuned to the page - it’s looking like Wednesday we will be back in full swing 🌻❤️🐾

Did you know that regular grooming not only keeps your pets looking adorable but also promotes their overall health and happiness?

To recap the last 5 weeks, here are all of those fantastic tips to make grooming a breeze for both you and your beloved fur babies! 🐶🐱

1️⃣ Brushing: Regular brushing helps keep your pet's coat clean, shiny, and tangle-free. It also prevents matting, reduces shedding, and promotes healthy skin. Plus, it's a great bonding activity! So grab a brush and give your furry pal some extra love and attention.

2️⃣ Bathing: Having your pet bathed frequently helps keep them fresh and clean. It’s VERY important to select a groomer who only uses pet-friendly shampoos and warm water. The groomer should always dry them thoroughly afterwards to avoid any discomfort or chills.

3️⃣ Nail Trimming: Keeping your pet's nails at the right length is crucial for their comfort and mobility. Regular nail trims prevent painful overgrowth and reduce the risk of nail-related injuries. If you're unsure how to do it, consult your veterinarian or a professional groomer. We take WALK INS here at Sunflower Pet Spa from 10am to 2pm during weekdays!

4️⃣ Ear Care: Ears can be quite sensitive for our furry friends. Regularly inspect and clean their ears to prevent infections. Your groomer should use specially formulated ear cleaners designed for pets and avoid going too deep into the ear canal.

5️⃣ Dental Health: Just like us, pets need dental care too! Regularly brushing their teeth with pet-friendly toothpaste helps prevent dental diseases and keeps their breath fresh. Dental treats and toys designed for oral health are also great options.

Remember, grooming sessions should always be positive and stress-free for your pets. Here at Sunflower Pet Spa, we take it slow, reward their good behavior, and make it a fun experience for them! That’s why all of our four-legged groom clients can’t wait to see us each time 🥰

Give us a call at 785-588-0794 or book online at SunflowerPet.net.

Let's keep our furry friends looking and feeling their best! 🐾💖

‼️‼️‼️In an effort to keep our clients and staff - as well as emergency personnel - safe during this winter storm, we will be CLOSED tomorrow, January 6th. ❄️❄️❄️

*I will personally still be on site caring for our lodging, rescue, and house pets - but I will NOT be making staff travel to assist me. There will, therefore, also be no shuttle (just don’t hesitate to reach out if there is an emergency and you need me!)

We hope everyone stays safe, stays warm, and do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, concerns, or personal emergencies that I can assist with!

It’s that time of year. The hospitals, ERs, Urgent Cares, and Doctors offices are FULL of people suffering from respiratory ailments. The truth is, a lot of it has to do with our diets around the holidays (allllll that sugar helps create a perfect biome for all sorts of diseases).

This back and forth weather here in Kansas certainly hasn’t helped either though. And it’s the same for our pets! Canine cough is very common this time of year and it’s highly contagious, and your dog doesn’t have to go to a doggie daycare or boarding facility to get it (that why we don’t call it “kennel cough” anymore, but rather CANINE cough) —- AND it doesn’t always have to mean a costly visit to the vet.

🌱🌱Plantain Can Alleviate Canine Cough🌱🌱

Plantain can soothe your dog’s cough and ease throat inflammation.

If you’ve ever had a dog with a cough you know that painfully awful bark. Just put some leaves through the blender with some bone broth. Your dog should lap it up. The mucilage it creates will coat his throat and respiratory tract. It also coats inflamed bronchial passages and the lungs to relieve discomfort and irritation. Some holistic veterinarians report benefits to dogs with upper respiratory infections.

🍯🍯Manuka Honey 🍯 🍯

Honey can help boost the immune system and soothe cold symptoms. One reason honey is so effective is that it contains hydrogen peroxide (a strong antiseptic). If you use Manuka honey you get even more benefits.

Manuka honey is from Manuka tree pollen found in New Zealand and Australia. It’s a more potent type of honey because it contains methylglyoxal (MGO), dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and leptosperin. This makes Manuka honey a better antibiotic, antifungal and antiviral than other honeys.

Manuka honey is also packed with antioxidants. And it’s a natural prebiotic that boosts good bacteria in your dog’s gut. Both of these help strengthen your dog’s immune system so that he can better fend off colds and infections.

Honey can also help soothe your dog’s throat and ease coughs if he does get sick. In one study, researchers compared honey to common cough suppressing drugs, including dextromethorphan. Honey was more effective than these drugs.

🥃➕Boost Their Immune System with Probiotics And Prebiotics➕🥃

Nearly 90% of your dog’s immune system is in his gut and it’s supported by the healthy bacteria that live there. These healthy bacteria ferment soluble fiber that travels to the colon. This process creates short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that help improve your dog’s health and boost immunity. Here are just some of the beneficial things SCFAs can do:
•Discourage growth of harmful bacteria
•Build important T-cells in immune system which reduce inflammation
•Help body absorb nutrients
•Keep the gut lining strong so the bad stuff stays in the gut where it can be properly dealt with

But for your dog to gain these benefits, he needs a diverse population of beneficial bacteria in his gut. And he needs a source of soluble fiber for them to ferment. This is where prebiotics and probiotics come in.

Probiotics contain healthy bacteria that colonize in your dog’s gut and provide health benefits. They help diversify the beneficial bacteria and restore his microbiome. (The microbiome is the community of bacteria, yeast and other microorganisms that live in and on your dog).

Prebiotics are the soluble fiber that beneficial bacteria ferment so that they can produce SCFAs. They help make the probiotics more effective. There are many whole food sources of prebiotics including fermented food, garlic, honey and mushrooms.

If you care for outdoor cats, they are counting on you to help them survive the quickly approaching cold snap. Every year when handing out shelters we hear stories of cats who have lost tails or ears to frostbite. This can be avoided!

So, what can you do?

❄️ Fill something with straw - a cooler, a plastic tote, even a cardboard box is better than nothing - and place the entrance under an eave and facing a wall. You can add styrofoam, reflective blankets, or put hot hands in these.

❄️If you have outdoor outlets, you can use animal-safe heating pads. Put these in a covered area on your porch. DO NOT put straw on these. Blankets are fine if you have a space to keep them dry.

❄️Crack a door to your garage or shed. Even if it isn’t heated they will appreciate a dry spot away from the wind.

❄️Feed them! They need those calories to keep warm.

❄️ Cats still need fresh water when it’s cold outside - you can buy a heated water dish or plan to dump out the ice and refill with warm water a couple times a day.

❄️If your outdoor cats are friendly, please consider keeping them inside temporarily when temps get dangerous. A bathroom, a covered kennel or a basement are fine!

We will include links in the comments to our favorite cold weather cat supplies.

Thank you for helping us look out for the cats in our community 💕
