Love ItLove It

We opened, meet our first clients!

We opened our new dog grooming shop on Saturday last week. We now have been open a full week. 

We haven’t done a grand opening yet, it is due next month. For a soft opening it went better than imagined. It was a great week. 

The first dogs we groomed were of course the guinea pigs, my mom’s dog Penny shown first, and my dog Meika the white wolfdog.

The best thing when it comes to keeping your dog's skin and coat healthy is to groom him on a regular basis. For some this means nothing more than a brushing once a week and a bath every month, while some the process is a bit more complicated, like Penny's fur. 

She has a wire terrier feeling coat, the hairs are hallow and as they get older this hair can either be shaved, or hand stripped. 

Some specialists claim you should never shave a hollow haired coat but must use the hand stripping method to remove excess hair that is falling out. By shaving the coat with clippers you only remove the top layer of dead fur rather than removing it from the roots. As a result the coats start to look duller in texture and color. 

Penny has never been shaved. Hand stripping also does not hurt the dog, the hairs are ready to come out. 

See the pumice stone in front of her right leg? This is what I use to help me grip the hair to be removed.

Sorry that was so lengthy lol Get me talking about grooming or pets and I have a lot to say.

Now for our paying clients. lol. Stay tuned for more..
