Bernese Mountain Dog Grooming

To keep your dog’s coat healthy, it must be kept clean and brushed. Frequency - needs to be groomed every 4 – 8 weeks, with more frequent grooming during the shedding seasons in the  spring and fall when they have a coat change. 

Ears: Use a gentle ear cleaner such as Life's Abundance Ear care to clean the ears and help dry out any moisture deep within the ear, this will help with the odor and prevent infection.

Paws: To keep their pads soft and pliable and help them from drying and cracking, I suggest  Animal Scents Ointment Animal Scents® Ointment is a protective, soothing salve designed specifically for external use on animals. The gentle and safe formula is enhanced with pure Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia) and Myrrh, two of nature’s most powerful essential oils. You can only buy this after you become a member or email me with your order and I will send it out to you!

Bathing: Bathe twice - This general cleaning with remove the dirt and grime. Follow up with the second bath to target the any special need for the skin and or coat.  Use a Hypo-Allergenic Shampoo such as Life's Abundance If your dog has allergies or skin irritations use followed by a medicated shampoo like Tea Tree Shampoo. Bernese with normal skin and coat can be bathed with the Life's Abundance shampoo and followed after the bath with our Bath Fresh Mist  for a long lasting fragrance. Be sure to end the bath with conditioner, I like the FURminator deShedding.

Dry: Using towels to get most of the water off their face, use a force air dryer or hand dryer to to dry coat.  They are very thick with that double coat, so maybe that is a great reason to use a professional groomer. 

Tools: An Undercoat Rake during shedding season pulls out undercoat while leaving the guard coat. Between shedding cycles brush and comb (use a wide tooth comb) daily to weekly to keep the coat on good condition.  

Happy New Year from Spotts Grooming

As the year 2017 comes to a close, I want to thank everyone that has had their dogs groomed at Spotts Grooming.  It has been a year of new puppies, and sadly losing some elderly dogs too,

This past year my husband Jim retired from working in a factory of 40 years.  He is now helping out in the grooming parlor as the bather and fluff dryer.  I can't tell you how much I am enjoying him working with me.  Not only is he helping me out by doing this job, but he is really good at it. In fact, I think he is faster and better at getting the dogs cleaned and dried.  When a dog's hair is clean and fluffed dried, the hair cut is much nicer and even though I did all that before Jim started, I am really loving a well prepped dog on my table.

Pain Relief

Having Pain? 

If you don't already know about medical marijuana and it's use, aka CBD, then you need to know that there are two components that have an effect on our body systems - CBD and THC.

CBD interacts with our CB2 receptors and gives us incredible therapeutic benefits such as:
-supports pain relief
-supports decreased inflammation
-reduced anticipated emotional feelings
-healthy cell support
-nervous system support
-neuro health support
-supports insulin levels
-cardiovascular health
-and more!

*THC interacts with our CB1 receptors which are responsible for causing the "high" associated with marijuana.
*What you may not know is that there's a THIRD type of cannabinoid--BCP (aka Copaiba).

It was only just discovered as a cannabinoid in 2008. And while it's different from CBD, it directly affects the same CB2 receptors and is a much more concentrated form.
For example:
⠀⠀
•CBD derived from hemp has a 2-4% concentration.
⠀⠀
•CBD derived from cannabis/marijuana has a 5-35% concentration.
⠀⠀
•Young Living's BCP? 55%! Wow!
⠀⠀
Young Living is the highest concentrated cannabinoid available. Yet because it is not a cannabis derivative it will never show up on a drug test or make you high.
Young Living also sold more Copaiba in one month than they projected for the entire year! It's that GOOD!

Dogs for Purim

On Purim, kids and some fun loving adults too traditionally dress in costumes, but what about your pets? Sure - what not let them join in on the fun.  A show of God’s hand in the Purim miracle allows one to remember how much God loves his children.  Make sure your children and pets masquerade as good, cheerful characters, such as Mordechai and Esther.

Therapy Dog * Pug

Therapy dogs come in all sizes. From the big to the small, these dogs are a cut above the rest. Trained to be the helpers, the companions, the cheer givers and trained to give aid in stressful situations such as disaster areas, these dogs are a true lifeline to many. A good therapy dog must have the characteristics of being gentle, friendly, confident, patient and at ease in all situations. Therapy dogs must enjoy unfamiliar people petting them and handling them. Many are taken to hospitals, nursing homes and other places where people need the joy of a dog. This is a great way to spread the love of giving; for dogs seem to do that the best.

Oprah is a great, loving pug and her mom uses the dental products from www.pipschoice.com to keep her breath smelling fresh and clean for all those pug kisses.

Flint River Ranch Pet Foods

Letter from FRR:
We launched Flint River Ranch baked foods for dogs and cats back in 1993. Since that time, thousands of pet parents have purchased these products and we remain very grateful for their support.
Although we are no longer in business, we’re excited to announce that Flint River Ranch was acquired by Life’s Abundance.
What does this mean for you? To start, you’re in good hands with Life’s Abundance. Their pet products, customer service and speedy shipping are all top notch. In addition, you may be pleased to know that they are planning to develop a line of Flint River Ranch inspired baked dog and cat foods. Soon, you will receive an email from them and we hope you give their products a try.
Since 1999, Life’s Abundance has been a pioneer in the premium pet product business. They were one of the first companies to feature antioxidants, prebiotic fiber and probiotics in their foods and they never included artificial colors and preservatives as well as other unsavory ingredients. To this day, they continue to innovate in the pet product market.
On behalf of the Flint River Ranch founder, Jim Flint and myself, we want to thank you for your patronage over the years and we feel confident you will be very satisfied with the quality and service you receive at Life’s Abundance.
Thank you,
Jay P.

Manufactured in a FDA (Human-Grade)

Registered Pharmaceutical Laboratory

NuVet Labs® supplements are some of the few pet products actually manufactured in a FDA registered human pharmaceutical laboratory, containing solely human-grade ingredients. Virtually no other pet products are made this way, due to the expense and strict monitoring required. Many pet food and supplement companies are notorious for being unregulated making their safeguards and purity levels nowhere near that of human-grade products. It’s no wonder the news is filled with horror stories of how these products become tainted by toxins that seep into dog food and supplements, causing harm to pets.

Supplements of your new puppy and kitten.

The excitement of a new puppy or kitten can be made all the more joyful when they are made comfortable and well taken care of. When a new pup or kitten is ready to leave the litter, usually at around 8 weeks, it’s important that certain needs be met that will help them bond with their new family.

Just like a newborn child, puppies and kittens need food, water, a warm place to sleep, plus lots of love. Commercial and raw food diets can leave big gaps in their nutrition. A quality nutrient supplement will provide essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes crucial for developing pets. The first two years of a puppy and kitten's life are critical for building a strong immune system, bones and organs. 

NuVet Plus® is a scientifically formulated nutritional supplement that helps to ensure the proper development of young dogs and cats in several crucial ways.

1. Boosts the Immune System.Puppies and kittens need a healthy immune system, which is responsible for defense against environmental toxins, by-products and unwanted pathogens. NuVet Plus® contains Blue Green Algae which is a very rich chlorophyll source and has been shown to enhance the health of the entire body, strengthen the immune system and promote intestinal regularity.

2. Strengthens the Cardiovascular system. 
A young canine or feline needs a strong heart to power all that energy. NuVet Plus® contains Evening Primrose Oil, which is high in gamma linolenic acid (GLA), an essential polyunsaturated fatty acid that promotes cardiovascular health. 

3. Fortifies Bone Structure. Puppies and kittens, like children, require strong bones to support their active lifestyle. A new pup or kitten that can stand, jump and run must depend on their nutrition to give them a healthy skeletal structure. NuVet Plus® uses Oyster Shell which has the proper ratio of quality Calcium and Phosphorus for optimum absorption. Along with Magnesium, these are the vital elements for the structural framework of bones.

4. Promotes a healthy Nervous System. 
NuVet Labs® knows a kitten and a puppy’s developing nervous system needs help to stay healthy which is why we make sure to include Vitamin B3 (Niacin) as part of our formula. B Vitamins are essential, and B3 promotes growth and proper functioning of their growing nerve network.

5. Supports healthy Glands and Organs. 
Growing pets need real nutritional sources and one of the best comes from 100% Chicken Liver found in NuVet Plus. Paddle dried to maintain full potency of its Omega Fatty Acids, Vitamins A, C and B Complex, NuVet Plus® provides essential nutrients to fuel red blood cells and make your pup’s or kitten's internal organs strong. 

NuVet Plus is the best nutritional supplement for young canines; perfectly balanced to provide the most effective fundamental and essential ingredients that can help defend your new puppy from toxins and nutritional deficiencies.
