WARNING- THIS IS A PSA RANT - I WILL NOT ARGUE BACK WITH ANYONE
I have been thinking Christmas is coming and that means new puppies are going to be under that tree. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD please research the breed before you get a puppy ...for example DOODLES, as a groomer I constantly hear that owners were not aware of the maintenance of the breed...this breed requires 4-6 week grooming and at home maintenance of brushing at least 2-3 times a week...and yes I know there are different coats that do not need brushed as often...again not trying to argue on this post.. the husky breed is alot more work than others, they are escape artist, they talk alot, they are stubborn, they are not for everyone... Newfoundland and Bernese Mountain puppies grow into a bigger dog (the shock of that without research ) Research the breed and known health issues. Dogs are breed for a purpose....try to find the breed that fits your lifestyle. They shed, they eat furniture, they escape, they all have different personalities! The pounds and rescues are full now, if you looking to add a four legged friend please consider adopting one. And yes I know the breeder vs adopting issues that we can argue ...but please re-read the first line of this post
Puppies/dogs are expensive..the require food, vet visits, training, grooming.... I understand things in life hit you unexpectedly and situations change but dogs are a lifetime commitment. The pounds and rescues are full and trying their best to do what they can to rehome dogs that are left homeless. Dogs take money and so much of your time.
If you do get a puppy get the pup used to the outside world, get it used to noises, touching their feet, playing with their ears, brushing, water, car rides, training. And yes I know some will not deal with it as well as others....Dogs are like humans, some of us don't like our feet touched, some prefer not to be around kids or other dogs. Some get car sick. Their different personalities are what makes them so great !!!
As for the small business's of animal care.....here we go 🤣🤣
I see a lot of post about vets being to much "to cover the cost of their new building" when I see that comment I cringe. Supplies in the pet industry have doubled if not tripled.. small business are doing the best they can to make it fair to everyone....instead of commenting that it's to expensive or judging by their building let's post about the quality of care that the animal will receive, isn't that what is important ! (yes I know that someone may have asked for an inexpensive vet not going to argue)
As for the groomers, yes some are higher priced than others, we all offer different services but I can guarantee that we will do our best to make sure your dog is 100% cared for while they are in with us. We do not want to shave down your matted dog because it is easier, it is for the care of your dog, we do not want to stress your dog out to do their nails, and if your groomer recommends something for you pup it is for a reason and it is for the safety/health of your pet! And again dogs have different personalities so they may not click with the groomer that you pick, doesn't mean the groomer did anything wrong, just not a good fit . And please keep in mind that even if you can do it at home when at the groomers the dog may not allow it...dogs have good and bad days, just like people..please keep that in mind before making a negative comment.
For the comments on Facebook, when someone shares their small business page please refrain from commenting on their pricing, again if it is not in your budget just scroll along. We are all just trying to make a business doing something we love.
***And I will say this one more time, the rescues and pounds are FULL.. they are in need of supplies, they are in need of fosters, they are in need volunteers to walk the pups.*******
Thank you for reading my rant! I know it was a lot !
I hope you have a wonderful day! 🐕🐕🐾🐾
PS if you have a dog please tell the pup hi from me 🐾🐾
