DOGAWASH HOME CARE SALON

DOGAWASH caters for small to small-medium dogs in a safe and secure environment. It is not a day care centre and does not cater for dogs that bite, nip, growl or have fleas.

Dogawash washes and grooms dogs and does not double book appointments. When your dog is nearly ready, you will receive a message advising it’s time to pick up your dog. Dogawash is not a daycare centre.

Dogawash works on one dog at a time. It does not have dogs running around as 100% attention is given to your dog. When you work with geriatrics, anxiety, scared, crazy or even unsocialised dogs you can’t afford mixing them with other dogs. If an owner is a little late they will receive a message or call advising whether the dog will be rescheduled depending on how late they will be as late dogs affect appointments for the rest of the day. A cancellation fee may apply

Appointments are necessary, so call Melissa on 0419446997. Dogawash is open 7am Thursday to Monday at 4/18 Owen Park Road, Bellambi

It was so good that Kuro’s parents did a tag team support system for Kuro today. He has come so far but there are things he is not keen on. At least he finds me less stressful then the vet

Darcy has been through the wars since I last groomed him having a number of yucky moles removed. One was above his eye hiding a growth. If it hadn’t been removed he could have lost his eye in six months

EYE GOOP

I have to honestly say I am over it. It’s not rocket science; just remove your dogs eye goop every day before it becomes a major problem. If left it becomes hard like a scab and eventually future fluid coming from your dogs eyes has no where to go so it starts forming a big scab that becomes stuck to the skin. I’ve had days where I have spent up to 25 minutes removing it from one eye! Over the years I have referred a number of clients to vets because I’ve been unable to remove it because of the blood and puss under it is has made it impossible.

Dogs eyes discharge is a way of flushing out dust after a long nights sleep. The texture, fluidity and colour can vary from dog to dog. The goop may differ from a little crusty to goopy ranging from clear, yellow or green. If the discharge is coloured check it out with the vet to rule out diseases like glucoma which can cost your dog its sight eventually

Its usually pretty easy to remove the goop/crust:

Flick it off with your thumb nail

Wipe it off with an unscented baby wipe or damp cotton wool ball

Don’t use over the counter eye drops unless instructed by vet

Observe your dog for other symptoms of illness

Don’t make excuses that your dog does not let you because it does not like it. Imagine how it behaves when the groomer has to remove; it naturally be then is quite stressed

TELEPHONE ETIQUETTE

Dogawash is a daytime business so it's easy for you to SMS me or call in daytime hours so common sense should prevail. Do not message me at 11.30 pm at night, even 8.30 pm is not acceptable. I'm up around 4am due to insomnia, some days I work in a physically demanding job and need my rest - so please think before you wake me up!

BEACH DOGS AND GROOMING

It’s great that so many of the dogs I groom love going to the beach but please on the days they are due for appointments don’t take them down to the beach before their appointment as you make the grooming process so much harder on both your dog and myself.

A lot of my dogs are either scared of the bath or dryer so I do a rough cut of their bodies and full hygiene and foot tidy before the bath to eliminate their stress. If they have fresh sand through their coat, by clipping them I am literally destroying my blades which cost in excess of $55 each so I have to wash the dogs. Of course it’s not a normal bath because they are fully loaded in sand so I have to shampoo and scrub them at least three times in an attempt to get the sand out before drying them, which takes longer then normal. It’s a time consuming process that the dog does not enjoy and will not forget the next time they walk in the salon.

So please, think first and save the beach for another time
