Celebrating Love and Kindness this Pride Month 🌈

Happy Pride Month from all of us at It’s a Pet Thing! 🐾

Here in our small shop in Pasadena, we believe that love makes the world go round—whether it’s the love between a human and their dog, or the love we share for one another as a community. While we specialize in wire coats and breed cuts, our biggest specialty is treating every single pup (and their humans!) with kindness, respect, and a whole lot of patience.

This June, we’re celebrating diversity in all its forms. Just like every dog has their own unique coat and personality, every person has their own unique story to tell. We are proud to be a safe, welcoming space for everyone. No matter who you are or who you love, you and your furry best friend are welcome here.

Here’s to a month filled with color, kindness, and happy tails! 🐕🌈

And the Winner Is… Rosie “DJ” Brown! 🏆🎧🐾

The votes are in, and we are thrilled to announce that Rosie, the rambunctious 9-year-old Shih Tzu, is our May Dog of the Month! 🎉

With his big personality, endless energy, and dedicated “security officer” duties at home, Rosie clearly stole the hearts of our community. From his love of snow to his charm with everyone he meets, it’s no surprise he came out on top. A huge thank you to everyone who voted, and a special congratulations to Rosie and his family!

Slow Down Sunday: Wrapping Up Mental Health Month. 🗓️🐾

As May comes to a close, we want to take one last moment to acknowledge the journey we’ve shared this month. From recognizing the power of routine to honoring reflection on Memorial Day, the theme has been clear: your dog is more than a pet; they are a partner in your mental well-being.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve talked about how they anchor our days, teach us to rest, and offer unconditional love when the world feels heavy. Whether it’s the quiet comfort of a nap together or the trust you place in us during their grooming appointment, these moments add up. They are the small, steady beats that keep us going.

Here at It’s a Pet Thing, we’ve been privileged to care for your companions since 2005. As a small shop with just two full-time groomers, we don’t just see dogs; we see the families who love them and the reasons they keep smiling. While Mental Health Month may be ending, the work of caring for your mind—and leaning on your furry friends—continues every day.

Thank you for letting us be part of your support system. Keep slowing down when you can, keep hugging your dogs tight, and remember: you’re never walking this path alone.

See you next month for more grooming, more love, and more quiet moments. 🧡

Summer is just around the corner, and with the temperatures rising, it’s important to remember that dogs handle heat very differently than we do! 🌡️🐕

Unlike humans, dogs don’t sweat through their skin; they primarily regulate their temperature by panting. A common myth is that shaving a dog short or shaving a double coat keeps them cooler. In reality, a proper coat acts as insulation, protecting them from both the summer heat and winter cold. Shaving can actually expose their skin to sunburn and disrupt their natural temperature regulation.

Here are a few safe ways to help your dog cool off: 💧 Fresh Water: Always ensure they have access to plenty of cool, fresh water. 🌳 Shade & Timing: Walk early in the morning or late in the evening when the pavement is cooler. Stick to shaded areas. 🧊 Cooling Mats or Toys: Offer cooling mats or frozen treats (like broth ice cubes) to help lower their body temperature. 🏊 Safe Water Play: If they swim, remember to rinse them off afterwards to remove bacteria from the bay or rivers!

⚠️ Watch for these warning signs of overheating: • Excessive or heavy panting • Drooling more than usual • Bright red gums or tongue • Lethargy, weakness, or stumbling • Vomiting or diarrhea • Collapse

If you notice these signs, move your dog to a cool area immediately, offer water, and contact your vet if they don’t recover quickly.

Stay safe and cool this summer! Remember, we are a small shop with limited availability, but we’re always here to share tips to keep our local dogs healthy.

🐾 Transfurmation Tuesday! 🐾

Meet J.R., the brave Russell Terrier! 🐕✨

At just two years old, J.R. tackled his very first professional grooming like an absolute champ! 🏆 Check out his incredible before-and-after hand stripping. This specialized technique brings out the classic wire coat texture, and J.R. sat patiently through every step.

We’re so proud of this good boy for nailing his first salon experience! 🎉

Slow Down Sunday: A Moment of Reflection. 🇺🇸🐾

This weekend, many will fire up the grills and head to the beach, but before the summer festivities begin, Memorial Day asks us to pause for something deeper. It is a day to remember the fallen military members who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. True mental health isn’t just about feeling good; it’s also about the capacity to sit with gratitude, reflection, and the weight of history.

In moments of heavy reflection, our dogs offer a unique anchor. They don’t understand the history of the holiday, but they understand presence. When the thoughts of loss or gratitude feel overwhelming, a dog’s steady breathing and warm weight remind us to stay grounded in the here and now. They give us a safe space to process emotions without judgment, offering a quiet companionship that helps us carry on.

As we honor those who are no longer with us, let’s also honor the peace they fought for by taking a moment to truly breathe. Sit with your dog today. Let their silence be a space for your thoughts, and let their love remind you of the value of the freedom we hold.

Wishing you a meaningful and reflective Sunday from our family to yours. 🧡

Meet Rosie “DJ” Brown, Our Final May Dog of the Month Contender! 🎧🐾

We are saving the best for last with Rosie, the 9-year-old Shih Tzu with a personality larger than life! Known to everyone at the salon simply as Rosie (or "DJ" at home), this rambunctious little guy has never met a stranger. He brings endless energy, sweet nature, and lovable charm to our small shop, making him a favorite among our team.

At home, Rosie takes his role as "Security Officer" very seriously, keeping a watchful eye over his family and protecting his domain with a big heart. While he’s not a fan of hot weather or rainy days, you’ll find him happily playing in the snow for hours if given the chance. Surrounded by his many favorite toys and making new friends everywhere he goes, Rosie brings happiness and laughter to everyone lucky enough to know him.

🗳️ Voting opens May 29! Stay tuned to cast your vote for Chance, Banjo, or Rosie to see who takes home the title of May Dog of the Month!
