All the toys to play with, but the bristle brush is the MOST interesting 🤣
"Hey, hey, hey. Pay attention to me!" Archie was great for his first haircut! Pics to follow.
Last week was puppy week, apparently! This is Kipper, he's an Airedale Terrier. He's not sure about Grooming yet, but he's a big fan of the elephant toy!
Appa and his new baby sister Astrid! She has so much energy 😍
Deshedding is serious business! In order to get the maximum amount of loose hair off, we use a desheddinf shampoo and conditioner, as hydration helps to loosen the hairs. Then we use a high velocity dryer to blow out the majority. Once the dog is completely dry, we use a variety of brushes to comb out the remaining hair.
Some dogs cannot be completely deshedded; if they have so much compacted hair that continued brushing would cause brush burn or skin irritation, we will use the blow dryer one last time after brushing to get rid of as much hair as possible. Sometimes, if we know a dog is extremely compacted, has sensitive skin, or just hates brushing, we will do a blow out before the bath as well.
(Also, sometimes we have to use what we call "butt loops" to keep the dog from spinning endlessly in the tub! Thats what the purple lead is for.)
Evie is VERY EXCITES about chasing her tail 😂
Frannie came in for her first ever groom on Monday. She was extremely nervous about being in a new place, and it took about half an hour to get her comfortable with being pet and picked up. But we got through it all and she did really well! While getting used to the salon, we had many treats and discovered that "sit" apparently means "splat."
You wouldn't think that Buddy was 8 years old, judging by his energy levels! #YorkshireTerrier #Yorkies #HandsomeBoy
Willow is really enjoying the the treat-hider toy! #interactivetoys #puzzletoys #puzzlefeeder #makebathtimeafuntime
Back and forth and back and forth. Finn has a lot of energy. #chocolatelab #zoomyboy #gottagofast
Nova! Cutest little puppy, must fight broom.
