✌🏼🤍🐾 If you can start the day without caffeine,If you can get going without pep pills,If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,If you can overlook when those you love take it out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him,If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,If you can face the world without lies and deceit,If you can conquer tension without medical help,If you can relax without liquor,If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,If you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion or politics,Then, my friend, you are almost as good as your dog!—Author unknown

SJA St John Ambulance has a wonderful Pet First Aid Course, that yes, covers CPR as well. PPGAM just hosted one this past Sunday. This course is open to all humans, with pets or no. Our membership is encouraged to take this course, and take it again, every few years, to stay abreast of updates, and as a refresher. We had a super day. Thank you SJA for this opportunity, and Christina for excellent instruction, and helpful, fun, interactive practice scenarios

Happy Springtime! You may wish to dip your pets outdoor paws in warm water and towel off, when entering back indoors after each walk. The grit, chemicals, and debris can play havoc on their skin. Pure coconut oil (yup, the stuff you buy to eat/cook with), is a cost effective, wonderful, safe, emollient you can apply each evening before bed to help heal, and maintain paw skin.

The severely matted pet. Professional groomers see these cases more often than we would like. They can be heartbreaking because we understand the pain and disease that often accompany these cases. Here are a few things to understand about matted coats:

1. Severely matted coats cannot simply be 'brushed out'. Yes, a few matts that are not matted to skin can be brushed out, but sever matting means shaving. There is not an option to 'leave the coat fluffy' because clipper blades must pass under matts not through them. This often means a very short shave.
2. When the coat is severely matted, often referred to as pelted, the coat cannot properly regulate body temperature. Both canines and felines use thermoregulation to keep the body cool or warm depending on the weather. This means the body struggles much harder to maintain normal temperature.
3. Matted coats are almost always accompanied by some type of skin disease. Matting holds excess moisture and bacteria and/or fungus near the skin. As the natural microbiome is decreased, the skin becomes susceptible to infection from these diseases.
4. Matted coats are painful and that's a fact. The extra weight pulls on the skin causing discomfort. When matting is present around legs, ears, or tail, proper movement can become impeded and painful. This is why we term this 'neglectful abuse'. This type of matting does not occur overnight.

If your pet's coat has gotten out of control, contact your professional groomer NOW. The longer you wait, the worse it will be and the more the pet suffers.

Don’t wait until April to have your dog groomed. If they live in doors, it’s never too cold for a healthful haircut. If they are matted now, they are in duress and at risk for further health/skin issues.
Happy February ✌🏼🤍🐾

Old habits are hard to break. Remember that dogs have amazing senses. They don’t need our hand in their face. Happy Greetings ✌🏼❣️🐾
