FuzzyButts.net FuzzyButts.net is a fun and informative blog offering tips for grooming your pet at home. I grew up on a morgan horse farm in Upstate New York.

You may be wondering about me, and how I got started in professional grooming. My name is Krista, and as far back as I can remember, I have fallen in love with every animal I laid my eyes on! My Mom was a home based dog groomer, and I spent countless hours as a child in the grooming shop watching her work, and helping when I got old enough. My first “real job” out of high school was as groomer in

a neighborhood grooming shop. I have been grooming professionally ever since. I now have more than 20 years experience grooming professionally. I have worked in shops owned by dog show judges, soaking up all the knowledge I could. I owned my own shop for a while, before selling it to move back close to my Dad and other family and friends in Southwest Florida. Right now, I am the sole groomer employed in a veterinary hospital in Southwest Florida. I have been there for 4 years now, and I love it! I will continue working there until I am ready to retire. Working there has expanded my knowledge base beyond grooming and taught me so much about incorporating grooming and animal health. I want to share my knowledge, and I love talking about animals. So, that is how the idea for this blog came to be. I hope you enjoy it and learn from it. I look forward to your comments and questions!

Holistic pet care means taking a ‘whole’ approach to your pet’s health. All of the body’s systems are considered, both mental and physical, because they are all inter-related. Holistic pet care recognizes that everything your pet consumes or encounters plays a part in his overall health and wellbeing. At The Fuzzy Butts Blog, we believe that when you care for your pet holistically, you are providing the tools that your pet’s body needs to heal itself.

Does your pet suffer from dry skin, arthritis, joint pain, or a weakened immune system? Would you like to support your dog or cat’s overall health and reduce chronic pain naturally? If so, fish oil might be just the supplement you’re looking for!

Chronic ear and skin infections are no joke! The constant itching and scratching is enough to make you and your dog or cat crazy! Not to mention the rancid odor and discomfort that often accompanies these conditions...

Working in the veterinary hospital, it used to break my heart to see the same pets coming in with the same chronic ear and skin infections time and time again! Not only are these dogs and cats suffering, but their owners are dropping tons of cash trying to get these conditions cleared up.

I've seen amazing results with a more holistic approach to treating these conditions. Although not every skin or ear infection can be completely cleared up without antibiotics, many can. In many cases, a holistic approach can put an end to the repeat cycle of recurring skin and ear infections for good. And, at the very least, the protocol suggested in these two articles will provide nearly instant relief and make the symptoms much more manageable.

If your pet suffers from chronic ear or skin infections, check out these two articles on the Fuzzy Butts blog:

There are many advocates of raw dog food, and they are quite passionate about their opinions. All it takes is a quick search on Google to find stories about the miracles of feeding a raw diet.

Here are the pros and cons of feeding a raw diet so that you can decide what’s best for you and your dog.

Our Story

Hi! I’m Krista, and as far back as I can remember, I have fallen in love with every animal I laid my eyes on! I grew up on a Morgan horse farm in Upstate New York. My Mom was a home-based dog groomer, and I spent countless hours as a child in the grooming shop watching her work, and helping when I got old enough.

Eventually, my childhood obsession with animals turned into a lifetime career in the pet care industry. My first “real job” out of high school was as a groomer in a neighborhood grooming shop. I have been grooming ever since. I now have more than 25 years experience grooming professionally.

I have worked in alongside dog show judges, animal behaviorists, veterinarians, pet nutritionists, and master groomers, soaking up all the knowledge I could. I have recently retired from full-time grooming after 6 years as the sole groomer employed in a veterinary hospital in Southwest Florida. Working at the veterinary hospital expanded my knowledge base and taught me so much about taking a holistic approach to pet care.

God has truly blessed me with a career that I love and enjoy. I want to share my knowledge of holistic pet care with pet parents like YOU! I want to give you the tools you need to save money veterinary bills, strengthen your bond with your pet, and improve your pet’s overall health and well being. I could seriously look at, and talk about, dogs and cats until I’m blue in the face (and most days, I do just that!). So, that is how the idea for this blog came to be. I hope you enjoy it and learn from it. I look forward to your comments and questions!
