Just a heads up for anyone who feeds their dogs food from one of those new fresh food companies!

BREAKING NEWS -- use caution when feeding your dog fresh food from brands such as The Farmers Dog, JustFoodForDogs and Nom Nom⚠️

The University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine Urolith Center has discovered a NEW urinary stone and the likely cause🔬
The UMN Urolith Center is the laboratory we use for all bladder stone analysis that are conducted for HAH patients and we recently received notification of this new information.

These new stones are called "calcium tartrate tetrahydrate" (CTT) uroliths according to Dr. Lulich (co-director of UMN Urolith Center). Canine patients get "choline bitartrate" (the main compound in CTT uroliths) from fresh dog food and supplements recommended for dogs that eat homemade food.
The data collected by Dr. Lulich and his team showed a link between choline bitartrate found in some of the most popular fresh dog food brands -- including The Farmers Dog, JustFoodForDogs and Nom Nom -- and the newly discovered CTT uroliths.

This discovery was published in April 2025 in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine.

Hi Friends!

As many of you already know, I have an assistant(Mackenzie) who is itching to learn how to groom dogs. She already has a few years of experience in the bathing/drying/ cutting toenails department, but needs to work on more grooming skills using clippers and scissors. Sadly, the only grooming school in SC closed a few years ago, so training options are very limited. I have offered to help train her while she is working here, but we are missing a resource for her to train on.

So, I am offering to any established client who might be interested in assisting in this venture, an offer: If you have a small/medium size dog who usually receives a short all over haircut, I am offering a 30% DISCOUNT on your grooming, if you allow Mackenzie to work on her skills under my full supervision! Feel free to respond here, PM me, or text me at 803-960-3493 if you're interested.

Thanks for reading!

Hi friends, just wanted to let everyone know that we will be closed tomorrow Thursday June 27th. We had some serious thunderstorms blow through last night in NE Cola it caused some significant damage to my house, brought down one of our large pine trees, busted in our garage door in and other damage so I will be busy taking care of that tomorrow. We will be back open on Friday if all goes according to plan! Hope everyone else is safe tonight!

This is my friend Ryder! He belongs to a couple of Corgi enthusiasts who have a few of these beautiful dogs. This boy was supposed to be a show dog but didn't like it so much so instead they have decided to adopt him out to a wonderful home on Long Island New York where he will live in luxury in the Hamptons with a yacht and a big house. Happy trails, Ryder I'll miss you!❤️
