Australian Shepherd Medium Haircut

Here's Max with his thick full coat. He has difficulty in the hot weather so his owner likes to have him clipped to about 2 inches in length.Here he is after I brushed and clipped him. I used the FURminator Deshedding Treatment on Max to help brush the hair out of his coat so I could use an attachment on my clipper. With undercoat, the blade will not go through the hair, thus making the job impossible.

Max after he was finished. Look how cool he looks now!!! This is a really good haircut on him, I know he will enjoy the weather much better now.

Shih Tzu Short Face Style

Shih Tzu hair grows continuously so keeping it trimmed is very important for good health. Long hair growing around the eyes can become hard and matted making sores and possable eye infections. Even little dogs want to be able to see clearly, so trimming the hair short on the top the head and the forehead stops it for hanging over the eyes.

Border Collie Mix - Talking about shedding hair.

This older gal is Dakota, she is a 10 year old Border Collie mix breed. She came in to the grooming parlor for a good bath and a de-shed. Dakota had so much loose hair coming out that I filled an entire garbage bag. To bad that there isn't any place that will buy used dog hair, I would have make a bundle on this one.

Some people have asked me - "How often should the Shed-Less Treatment be performed?" I recommend having the entire Shed-Less Treatment performed on your pet every 4-6 weeks. You may need to use the tool on your pet’s coat between treatments during heavy shedding seasons. If you don't already own a tool you can order one from me or at many pet supply stores now carry them.
Also - "Does the deShedding Tool work without using the FURminator deShedding Shampoo and Solution?"
The answer is Yes, however the tool is more effective if you use the deShedding shampoo and deShedding solution or the waterless shampoo and conditioner. This really loosens up the shedding undercoat and washes out in the rinse water. When brushing afterwards it is amazing to see just how much more hair comes out.

NuVet Plus Sample for Dogs - It's a Healthy Supplement

Sorry, this offer is no longer available. If you Order Nuvet Now you can request a sample of one of my holistic pet food samples. Looking for a chance to try NuVet without first ordering it?

Now you can.

I want everyone who loves their dog and is concerned about their well-being to have a chance to see for yourself how much this supplement will be an important part of your dog's health. Pets are lacking the important nutrients needed to sustain proper body function, because frankly it's just not found in any pet food. Even the best of dog and cat foods don't have all the proper amounts of vitamins, minerals, herbs and omega oils that are found in NuVet Plus. In the sample packet shown above, I will send you one wafer as a “taste” test to insure your dog will eat the product. Since NuVet is an all natural, holistic approach to strengthening the immune system and getting the body in tune they recommend you try the product for 60 days. If you have not seen the results you are looking for within the 60 days, the company will return the original purchase price of the product. I can't think of any other company that does that! Plus, I will include two dog food samples I feed my dogs, easy on-line ordering. NuVet has proven to be extremely effective in treating a number of ailments, including diabetes, heart disease, tumors, scratching, itching, hot spots, allergies, arthritis, low energy levels cataracts, digestive problems and many other health issues, so you have everything to gain by trying it.

Red Toy Poodle

Here's Rusty....


Rusty is a 1 1/2 year old Toy Poodle. He was very over grown so I just clipped his body, shaved his face and feet clean and scissored up his legs. He looks very regal in his new doo, don't ya think? Oh, did I mention, Rusty is my mom's dog. I don't groom him to often, so when I do, I like to try different
styles on him.

Badly Matted Schnauzer - Shave

The pictures you are seeing may be disturbing to some people, viewer discretion is suggested.

This is the before picture of this Schnauzer. The hair was so matted that I needed to clip very short. I was not surprised when I can across a sore on his leg. I clipped the hair off his legs as if I was pealing off a very tight sock, except this was connected to skin. I gave him a bath with medicated shampoo which I left on for 10 minutes. This helps with soothing skin that has not been able to (breathe)

Here is the after picture of one comfortable pup.

Cushings Disease in Dogs

Cushings is getting more common in dogs, what is it?
It’s a hormonal disease. As a holistic groomer and pet food adviser, I believe that we have poisoned our pet’s bodies as well as our own with the foods we all are eating. The hormones in the body react when they are stimulated by cells. The physiology of the dog has not changed in all the years of keeping records. The liver, the thyroid cells and the adrenal glands are not made to handle all of the toxins we place in the mouths of our pet's, in my opinion.
What are the symptoms of Cushings Disease in dogs?
This is a very complicated disease with a wide range of symptoms and causes.
1. The most common symptom is increased consumption of water and the resultant increased urination. The dogs drink between two and ten times the normal amount of water and the resultant increase in urination follows.
2. Increase in appetite is another common clinical symptom that shows up in around 80% of the affected animals. Dogs may begin stealing food, begging for treats continuously, and become very protective of their own food and despite having these symptoms, the owner may feel that the dog is okay because of his good appetite.
3. Abdominal enlargement is a common symptom in affected dogs. The potbellied appearance is a result of the shifting of fat to the abdominal area and a weakening and wasting of muscle mass in the abdomen.
4. Hair loss and thinning of the skin are also common symptoms in dogs with Cushing's disease. The hair loss usually starts over the areas of wear such as the elbows and goes to the flanks and abdomen areas until eventually only the head and extremities have hair. The skin may also become thin and be easily damaged and slow to heal.
5. Increased panting, urinary tract infections, or losses in reproductive ability are other symptoms often noted with this disease.

Feeding the right food is so very important in aiding in the treatment of Cushing's. I feed Life's Abundance because it is made fresh and shipped to your door within 4 weeks. It is packed with the most nutritional ingredients, vitamins, minerals and herbs for good health.

Shaved Golden Retriever

This is a Golden Retriever that was very matted. She needed to have her hair shaved off so I used an Andis # 7 f blade and started just behind the Occipital bone on top of the head. I shaved the entire body but left the legs and tail. I used scissors to trim the feathering's of the front legs and trimmed the tail so as to not leave it to bushy.

This haircut is excellent for active Golden's that like to jump in water and roll in dirt. I'm thinking that was why she was so matted. So now Daisy can play and her owners can enjoy a cleaner house.

Fund Raiser for the Euclid Shelter

I was very happy to see all the people come out to the fund raiser at the Gentle Groomer yesterday with all the money going to the Euclid shelter.
Thank you so much for your generosity. My only regret is that I did not take my camera.

I handed out a lot of food samples both Flint River Ranch and Life's Abundance and NuVet Plus supplements. I talked with several folks about nutrition for their pets and was happy to explain the importance of feeding a great quality pet food, the benefits are enormous!

If you were at the event, would you please send me your thoughts about the fund raiser? and I would love a picture of the pet you brought.

Thanks again, without you, animals shelters would be in lacking in needs to care for the dogs and cats.

NuVet Labs - Creator of NuVet Plus Supplements for Dogs & Cats

NuVet Labs says:
We love animals and we know you love them too! Unfortunately, the majority of dogs and cats are not receiving a complete, healthy diet and many become ill and die prematurely. NuVet Labs™ main purpose is to help increase your pet's longevity and quality of life. Our products, NuVet Plus™ for Canines and NuVet Plus™ for Felines, provide the very best human-grade, natural ingredients available and utilize the latest advances in medical, veterinary and nutritional science. We pledge to adhere to the highest standards in products and services. Our goal is to maintain a lasting and caring relationship with our family of NuVet Plus™ customers and their pets they love.Our scientists, veterinarians and formulators began with the premise that most pet diets are lacking the proper amounts of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. There are important nutrients that animals once received when they were living in a more primitive environment that are not available in the modern diet. Commercial pet foods contain numerous by-products that can make them poisonous, toxic and incapable of reducing the devastating effects of unstable oxygen molecules, also known as "free radicals." Free radicals have been implicated in more than fifty health problems in humans and animals including various forms of cancer, heart disease, arthritis, cataracts and premature aging.After extensive testing with many different combinations of ingredients, our scientists formulated NuVet Plus™. We believe, based on the most current medical, veterinarian and nutritional reports, NuVet Plus™ will combat the onslaught of free radicals in our companion pets. This unique formula consists of precise amounts of vitamins, minerals and high-potency antioxidants that when combined, create a synergistic and powerful boost to the immune system.

Schnauzer Shave

Here is Sammy, he lives on a farm and is always out running with the chickens and horses. Sam use to be groomed in a regular Schnauzer clip until he got in the habit of getting down and dirty on the farm. Between playing with his barnyard buddies and taking an occasional dip in the pond, his owner thought it would be nice to have him clipped in a more sporting manor. I think she made the right choice here, Sammy looks adorable.
