Frequently Asked Questions: Nails
Owners have a lot of questions regarding their pets nails. Such as: my dogs nails look long, were they cut? My dogs nails are so sharp, did you forget to cut them? As you can see by the photo above dogs nails have a blood line inside. Your groomer or vet can only cut to just before this blood line. When the line get's crossed the nails can bleed (which both professionals carry a styptic powder to help clot and stop the bleeding) and this can be painful to your pet. Also you can see by above that cutting creates a clean square edge. This edge is very sharp when first cut and becomes smoother over time. Ways that you can help you dog to smooth out these edges are by taking them for regular walks on hard surfaces (like pavement or concrete). You can also file them with an emery board at home. When first introducing this you can start by working on one nail at time slowly and over time you can help you dog become accustom to the filing. It can become part of your regular routine and bonding time with just a little practice.see article on Review-Reports.com/Blog: Dog Nail Grooming/How to Trim Dog Nails 3/30/11

Your Pet Can Have Allergies Too!
Pet Allergies
Your pet is susceptible to allergies just like you are. Unfortunately your pet is not able to tell you. Pets manifest their allergies through their skin, while humans may sneeze and get runny eyes. Dogs can get ear infections, itchy skin that they scratch and/or lick obsessively. Pets allergies to the environment have atopic dermatitis caused by molds, house dust mites, house dust, human dander, feathers and pollens from trees, grass and weeds. Which can lead to bacterial skin infections and yeast infections. Bathing offers immediate anti-itch relief and is a very important part of maintaining comfort for our allergic animals. Shampoo's with oatmeal and essential fatty acids have anti-itch/soothing effects. Having your dog groomed on a regular basis is a good way to help increase owners chances of recognizing these signs and maintaining a comfortable and happy pet.

Happy Howl-O-Ween!
We had a doggie costume party with the dogs and they wanted to share some photos with you! Have a SAFE & Happy Howl-O-Ween!
If you are taking the dog with you to go out trick or treating with the kids you might want to think about a collar that lights up! Most pet stores sell them; especially this time of year, but you can also order them online at places like Amazon.com

Cash has crossed over to Rainbow Bridge!
We lost our buddy Cash the Great Dane this week! He was a gentle giant with a huge heart and he will be missed by so many people! Here are some pics of him in previous Halloween costumes:
Cash was very gentle even though he was a huge Great Dane! He LOVED doggie day care and his girlfriend the yellow lab Elle! He loved just hanging with the employees and we loved watching him hop around the day care room in his carefree way!!! You will be missed Cash!
