Spa Day!

Whether your dog be big or small, short hair or long haired, indoor or outdoor they probably need a bath and thier nails cut! ALL dogs should have thier nails cut every 4-6 weeks. Besides the damage they do to your hard wood floor and your nerves from hearing 'tap-tap-tap-tap-tap' long nails cause damage to your dogs joints. When the nails are long enough to touch the ground, your dog begins to walk differently which over times causes a strain on thier knees and hips. Ok, now I'll step off my soapbox and tell you a little about bath time and spa days.

We allow each dog time to play with the other dogs before thier honey and oatmeal bath. (both of which are good for thier skin and help keep thier coats shiny) Your dog will either sit in our laps and be towel/air dried or allow to run around indoors-depending on what they prefer. And yes, even those huge dogs that are 'not lap dogs' sit in our laps on the table while we dry them. Then they are expertly cut/shaved/trimmed and gently brushed. Depending on thier hair length and gender we will add a cute bow or a fun bandana.

Back to thier nails: We will file thier nails to ensure that they are smooth when they go home and just the right length. And if you would like just that extra little touch-we can paint the nails. (Dog safe polish of course) I painted Maggie's a few weeks ago for practice and it stayed on about 2+ weeks-and remember she plays hard every day!

We have a great crew of doggies here again today but are starting to book up on groomings and baths so wanted to remind you to book thier appointments early.
