Dogs with blindness


This is Dusty. I have been grooming Dusty for 10 years now, he was diagnosed as blind a few months ago. He still knows to turn and face me as I talk to him. The owners like him in a short clip especially around his eyes. They have a tendency to tear and get all sticky, which is very smelly and more importantly bad for his well being.
The people at NuVet Labs are finding that dogs that are given NuVet Plus supplements can help reverse the size of cataracts thus improve the eye sight. Is it ever to late to start a pet on supplements? I say not, if Dusty were to be on these supplements there's no telling how much he could benefit. Dogs can live to be in their 20's and be quite healthy at that.

Tasty Rewards * Dog Training Treats


Tasty Rewards from HealthyPetNet are wholesome nutritional training treats made from free-range, farm-raised chicken and venison.
They’re loaded with proteins, minerals, vitamins and essential fatty acids. And, like all of the foods and treats, you’ll find no added chemical preservatives or artificial coloring.
With Tasty Rewards Training Treats, discipline can be delicious!

Are you training a new puppy or just educating your old dog?
Good behavior should be rewarded, but often training treats are empty-calorie treats with no nutritive value and include undesirable ingredients. I strongly believe that you should only feed treats that can help to support overall health and these are one way you can give your pet the best, most healthiest treats and do some training at the same time.

Merry Christmas from Spotts Grooming

Merry Christmas to all.
My hope is that everyone have a blessed Christmas day filled with love.
This is the day to remember and reflex on how much God loves us. Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ — the most important event in human history (along with the rest of Jesus’ life). Even if people fail to acknowledge its meaning, that doesn’t change its significance.
Why is Christ’s birth so important? One reason is because of who he was: the divine son of God. To those who witnessed his birth, he probably looked like any other newborn baby — but in reality he was far more. He was God in human form — fully man, but also fully God. Only Jesus could say, “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). Only Jesus could say, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30).
Do you want to know what God is like? Look at Jesus Christ, for he was God in human flesh.
But Christ’s birth was also important because of what he did. He came to show us God — but more than that, he came to open the way to God. We are separated from God because of sin — but Jesus came to take away our sins. He did this by becoming the final sacrifice for sin through his death on the cross.
Christmas for many people has become a secular holiday. Don’t let this happen to you. Instead, put Christ at the center of your Christmas this year — and at the center of your life.
This was taken from Billy Graham on "Keep true meaning of Christmas alive"

Bichon - The look of a Short Hair Cut



Bichons can be very matted when left long. This is a picture of Mia, her human mom likes to keep Mia's hair short all year long. She also likes the ears to show so I trim the hair underneath the ears so as to give it the appearance of being full and fluffy. The legs and body are shaved with a blade about an inch long. With a simple, short style such as Mia's, the Bichon can be short and still look marvelous.

Shih Tzu Grooming



This delightful little girl is Laci. Her tiny body, short legs and bright fuzzy face is just the cutest and reminds me of a stuff animal toy. For grooming , I start by giving her a bath in Premier Color Intensifying Shampoo by Eqyss. Premier lets the hair accept moisture from the air, which is what hair is supposed to do. It conditions and volumizes the coat while helping to reduce dry flaky skin. Next, I use Premier Conditioner Coat Conditioning Cream Rinse and Detangler. This product conditions rough, dry, brittle hair and adds in restoring the hair with natural emollients and smoothes hair cuticles to replenish each strand, leaving hair soft and tangle-free. I fluff dry her hair with a blow dryer and comb out any remaining tangles. I then use a comb attachment for the desired length and finishing with scissors to make a teddy bear like appearance.

Ethoxiquin in Pet Food

Ingredient Fish - Is there Ethoxiquin in this pet food?
There have been many news articles lately about pet food makers hiding the chemical preservative 'ethoxiquin' in their foods. This is due to the fact that much of the fish used in pet foods comes already pre-preserved with this chemical. So what about Life's Abundance you may ask? Does Life's Abundance food contain ethoxiquin since it uses fish meal in their products? To hear the answer, listen to this recorded interview with Dr. Jane Bicks.
