Linda's Dog Grooming

Linda's Dog Grooming Where pets are family You can make an appointment from my webpage. I find articles and post the website on this page. I've been grooming dogs more than 20 years.

Permanently closed.

I am never saying "it works", "I do this", "try this" or "do this", by posting pages I simply hope that anyone reading this page could further their knowledge about pets. I did not learn how to groom on the computer but under a seasoned groomer. I took classes and traveled out of town for them with borrowed dogs to complete my tasks. After leaving the original groomer I worked under I moved on to

work under a couple of other groomers and have learned many things. I did work hard and learned the hard way. I don't pretend to know more than I do, but I will do my best for you and your pet at all times. Please I do ask, whether you pick me or someone else, find a groomer and stick with just one. I know things get crazy or last minute but it sometimes gets hard on your pet. They get use to one thing and it just messes everything up when they go somewhere else. When you go for prices, that just isn't a reason to go to a groomer. Go to one that a vet will recommend and talk to people and see their work.

Even when you think the temperature is OK or feels fine to you, your fur kids may feel very differently. Animals don't sweat like humans, so they heat up a lot quicker than we do. Their primary source of cooling down is through panting which is woefully inefficient when exposed to heat (they also cool down through their paws, so be aware of this when putting booties on your pups).

The #1 cause of heatstroke in dogs is leaving them in a vehicle! Never-ever leave a pet in a car even on a mild day. While you're in the air-conditioned store grabbing a few things, your car is quickly turning into an oven. Pets can suffer brain damage and die from heatstroke.

Helpful Tips: Walk in the early morning and late evening when it is cooler. Carry water with you. Limit exercise on hot days. Avoid surfaces that absorb heat, like asphalt, pavement, metal, sand, and car seats. These materials absorb heat from the sun and can stay hot for hours (even after the sun has gone down). Temperatures on these surfaces can exceed 145° F (62.7c)‼️

Keep your fur kids safe and cool! Fans, cool surfaces, frozen treats, kiddie pools, cool washcloth under armpits, and sprinklers can all help keep the kids cooler on hot days.

Make sure fresh water and a cool place to rest is available at all times.

This is something everyone should see.

When you get your 8-10 week old puppies, please keep this image in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

But when you're letting puppy jump up and down off the couch or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding, a great upbringing AND a proper diet! Not just ONE!!!

Once grown you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.

Also to be noted: most puppies growth plates don’t close until 9-10 month and the joints aren’t considered fully mature until 24 months. Normal play and exercise is healthy… excessive is not.
