***UPDATE*** Monday 12pm - our AC is fixed! 🥳 We will still be out today to allow the shop to cool down. Drying dogs puts out a lot of heat, so we don’t want to make it work even harder to catch up right now than it has to. We will see you all later this week. Thank you for your patience 💛

Unfortunately, our AC is currently down and we can’t safely work on animals in these temperatures. We will be closed tomorrow and hopefully back up and running ASAP. If you have an appointment this week, we will continue to message and keep you posted on your appointments and moving them around to get you in as quickly as we can. I understand this can be difficult adjusting schedules, but our priority is the safety of the pets in our care, so we appreciate your understanding during this heat wave ☀️

This is so important to set your puppy up for success! Two things I would add:

1) practice with an electric toothbrush at home all over your dog’s body while they stand up and you handle their legs, feet, face etc. This helps acclimate them to the sound and vibration of our tools in a safe way AND introduces them to physical handling. It’s much easier to help your puppy a couple minutes every day at home than it is to only be exposed to noises and physical handling at the groomer.

2) Animals feel your emotions! If you come in nervous and scared, so will your pup. Anxiety in dogs is skyrocketing, for a multitude of reasons, let’s help get those babies back into confidence for a happier, healthier life!

Puppies first groom!

Your haircut dog will spend over 300+ hours of their life with their groomer. Here are some ways to help them grow into calm, comfortable and cooperative grooming dogs.

1. Start early! You cannot cut their hair to soon. It is a myth that it will change or damage their coat. The sooner the better (8+weeks old). Puppies this young are really good about accepting the grooming process and soaking it up as a new learning experience where if you were to start late (6+ months) than they will be more inclined to have anxiety or fear surrounding all the new experiences. (Vibrating tools on their skin, being touched on every centimeter of their body, the industrial dryer, being away from parents, someone grabbing and clipping off their toenails, water sprayers, being asked to move around like an opposable action figure, new person, new smells and place, finger poking their ear or in their mouth to brush their teeth, so many new sounds.)

2. Ease them into it. Don’t request a full groom haircut for their very first experience. Start with coming to the shop for treats and attention. Maybe come in for just a nail trim. Start their first groom with an introduction for puppies, so just a bath, blow dry without an actual haircut. By the time you move on to an actual haircut they will be more confident in their surroundings, their groomer won’t be a stranger and will have established some trust and they will feel safer with the tools that are loud.

3. Have realistic expectations. One day that vision you have in your head as the perfect look will happen but a lot of it is up to your pup. Are they comfortable? Will they say still and safe? Have you worked with them and your groomer to help them succeed? Their first haircut may be a tad “sloppy” as they are learning but keep at it and that vision of your will come to fruition.

4. Communication with your groomer is key. They will walk you through anything you can do at home in between visits to help build your little ones confidence and how to maintain your loves coat.

🦷 February is National Pet Dental Health Month 🦷

Did you know your dogs need their teeth cleaned too? By the age of just 2-3, 80-90% of dogs have periodontal disease. This can cause your dog to have not only daily mouth pain, but they can even develop heart and kidney disease when left untreated. Many dogs are uncomfortable with their faces being handled in a grooming salon due to painful teeth that may need removed. Young or old, check with your vet to see about getting your pup’s teeth cleaned ASAP. You can help your dog live a longer and healthier life and have stinky breath a thing of the past!

✨ Special thank you to Hillcrest Animal Hospital for taking the time to snap these before and afters of Kona’s teeth. Her last dental was around this time last year, so you can see how quickly plaque and tartar can build up even with, vet recommended, daily Oravet chews!
