Everything an influencer tells you to use is NOT the best. Looking for proper coat maintenance? Feel free to reach out 979-332-8186 call or text !

A little PSA as I keep seeing these recommended on social media by influencers and in groups.

Do you have a furminator?

Throw it in the bin.🗑 🚮

"But I get so much hair out with it"

A furminator is a blade. I've attached a photo of a super short grooming blade next to the furminator blade to compare. The only reason you think it works so well and you get so much hair out is because it's actually cutting your dogs coat. It cuts the good hair, the top coat and leaves long lasting damage, you may not notice at first or ever but its definitely doing the damage and your pups coat will begin to get shorter and shorter, becoming more sparse.

A good metal comb and a slicker brush are all you need. Throw that furminator in the trash bin.

Summer is approaching don’t get duped into cutting your babies hair because you think they are too hot ! Check out this article here !!!

Why you should never cut a Nordic dog's hair?.

The reason is simple to explain, but, difficult to understand by many owners.

The double layer of hair of these breeds (Husky, Alaska Malamute, Samoyedo, etc. ) works as a temperature regulator when it's hot, so it keeps them cool, unlike what you'd think (that they're being grilled).

The photos were taken with an infrared camera, in which we can observe a Nordic specimen, and as the fur regulates its body temperature, the bluest areas represent the coldest areas and the reds, the hottest.

The recommendation is that you never cut your dogs' hair, alter the natural thermoregulation mechanism and leave them defenseless against natural elements such as the sun, promoting so they suffer heat stroke, for example.

If you think your pets are suffering from the heat, the best thing you can do is provide them with fresh, cold and clean water, a shady place, you can help with fan, ice, shallow pools, etc.

This week Is dental
*Extra articles attached in comments!

While some groomers offer tooth scaling, it's crucial to understand that professional dental cleaning, including scaling, should be performed by veterinarians under anesthesia for the safety and well-being of the pet.

Here's a breakdown of why:

• Veterinary Expertise: Dental procedures, including scaling and polishing, require specialized knowledge and equipment, which are typically found in veterinary clinics.

• Anesthesia: Thorough dental cleaning, especially below the gumline, necessitates anesthesia to ensure the safety of the pet and allow for a complete and effective procedure.

• Risk of Damage: Non-anesthetic scaling by groomers can be risky, potentially causing damage to teeth and gums, and may not address underlying dental issues.

• Incomplete Cleaning: Groomers often only address tartar above the gumline, while veterinarians can address issues below the gumline, which are often the source of dental problems.

• Potential for Infection: Scaling can release bacteria into the bloodstream, potentially leading to serious infections if not performed by a veterinarian.

• Cosmetic vs. Comprehensive Care: Groomer scaling is often a cosmetic procedure, while veterinary dental care focuses on overall oral health and addressing potential!
