Spa 4 Paws

Flea & tick season is officially here!  

Fleas and ticks can cause discomfort and serious health concerns including:
• Itching & skin irritation
• Hair loss & hot spots
• Flea allergy dermatitis
• Anemia from severe flea infestations
• Tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis

At Spa 4 Paws your pet’s comfort and health are always a priority. If we notice any signs of fleas or ticks during your pet’s appointment, we may recommend scheduling a visit with your vet to get them started on the proper preventative coverage.

Keep your pets protected, comfortable, and ready for a happy, healthy season! 🐶

This week we’re highlighting the Devon Rex🩷🐱

The Devon Rex is known for its soft, wavy coat, large ears, and playful, mischievous personality. With a unique look and an even bigger personality, this breed is highly social and loves being the center of attention.
Devon Rex cats are often described as energetic, curious, and very people-oriented. They enjoy climbing, exploring, and staying close to their humans, making them a great fit for interactive households.

Grooming Tips for Devon Rex:
Their delicate coat and skin require a slightly different grooming approach than other breeds.

Minimal brushing, as their coat is fragile and can be damaged easily

Regular bathing to help manage oil buildup on the skin

Routine ear cleaning, as they can produce more wax than other breeds

Keep nails trimmed and skin monitored for irritation

Proper care helps keep their skin healthy and their unique coat in good condition.
Stay tuned as we continue to feature different breeds each Friday!!🐱🩷

This week’s Groomer’s Choice comes from Tabi, who picked the Yorkshire Terrier!💙🩷

Yorkies may be small, but their grooming needs are anything but. With a fine, hair-like coat similar to human hair, they require consistent maintenance to prevent tangles and matting and to keep their coat looking its best.

Tabi’s Grooming Tips:

Brush several times per week (daily for longer coats) to prevent tangles
Keep a consistent grooming schedule every 4–6 weeks
Regular face trims to keep hair out of the eyes
Maintain hygiene trims and keep the sanitary area clean
Stay on top of nail trims and ear cleaning

With routine care, Yorkies can be kept in a variety of styles while staying comfortable and mat-free!💙🩷

This week’s Groomer’s Choice is the Bull Terrier🩷💙🐶

Bull Terriers are known for their muscular build and playful, energetic personality. They have a short, dense coat that is relatively low maintenance, but routine grooming is still important to keep their skin and coat in good condition.

Grooming Needs:

Weekly brushing to remove loose hair and maintain coat health
Regular baths to keep the skin clean, especially for dogs prone to sensitivities
Consistent nail trims due to their strong, compact build
Routine ear cleaning and skin checks

Bull Terriers may be low maintenance compared to longer-coated breeds, but keeping up with routine care helps support healthy skin and keeps them looking their best!!💙🩷🐾

This week we’re highlighting the Airedale Terrier🩷💙🐾

Known as the “King of Terriers,” the Airedale Terrier is the largest of the terrier breeds. They are intelligent, confident, and versatile dogs that were originally bred for hunting and working. Airedales are energetic and loyal, making them great companions for active households.

Grooming Tips:
Airedales have a dense, wiry coat that requires regular maintenance to keep its texture and prevent matting.

Brush several times per week to remove debris and prevent tangles
Routine grooming every 4–6 weeks to maintain coat shape
Hand stripping is recommended to maintain proper coat texture, though clipping is a common alternative
Keep the beard clean and dry to prevent odor and buildup
Stay consistent with nail trims and ear cleaning

Proper grooming helps maintain the Airedale’s signature look while keeping their coat and skin healthy!!🐶💙🩷
