How cute is our Bowie pack? Happy Halloween 🎃🫧

10/31/2026

Just in time for Halloween 🎃⁠🐾

10/30/2026

🎃 Halloween is almost here — and our grooming tables tell the story every November.

Sticky little hands, dropped lollipops, a dog who lies down right where the candy landed — caramel, taffy, and gum in the fur is one of the most common post-Halloween problems we see.

👉 Learn More: https://www.bowiebarker.com/blog/halloween-dog-safety

Don’t brush it out or run warm water on it. Ice to harden it first, then a little vegetable oil to loosen it, then a gentle wash.

And keep the candy bowl up high. Chocolate, xylitol in sugar-free treats, and swallowed wrappers are all dangerous.

If your dog eats something it shouldn’t, call your vet right away.

Here we go again...

October is National Pit Bull Awareness Month. 🐾

Most pit bulls have a short, single coat with no protective undercoat.

That leaves very little between their skin and everything it touches: grass, pollen, dust, carpet cleaner, and whatever shampoo you use.

Stress-free grooming starts early. Grooming is a brand new world for a puppy. 💚

👉 Book Now: https://www.bowiebarker.com/south-loop

Starting early helps new sounds, smells, people, and handling become familiar while they're still little. 🐾

Regular visits help puppies get comfortable with the parts of grooming they'll experience throughout their lives, from having their paws touched to being bathed by an expert groomer. 🛁

Early, consistent grooming helps pups build healthy habits for life. Start with a positive introduction now, then keep visits consistent as they grow.

September is National Responsible Dog Ownership Month, an AKC-designated month with Responsible Dog Ownership Day landing on Saturday, September 19th this year. 💚 🐾

It's a good excuse to look at the parts of dog care that don't get talked about much.

So here's the case for grooming as a health responsibility rather than a cosmetic one.🛁
