One of my pets had their microchip migrate

This is an X-ray of a dog’s bent front leg. See that tiny white spec? That’s a microchip! It has migrated down the leg....far from where it was inserted, between the dog’s shoulders. This is actually quite common.....

When lost pets are scanned, the entire body SHOULD be scanned to catch any that have migrated. But, as an owner, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AT THEIR YEARLY VET EXAM, to ask for a quick scan to make sure that: (1) the chip is still working, (2) the location of the chip is good, and (3) that the chip info is correct.

Remember microchips save lives and reunite families with their pet.... just have it checked regularly!

We are doing a food drive. Please feel free to drop off items on the list below. We have a Yellow and Black bin in the lobby.

This is why we offer a meet and greet. It allows your pet to figure out who we are and what is going on. This works really well and we have been practicing this for over 20 years. 

If you are a true dog lover, you will honor a dog for who they are, a dog, instead of treating them like a human. Many of my clients talk about how the biggest problem they have is other people, whether its family members, guests, or strangers, trying to touch, talk to, or give direct eye contact to their dog who isn't interested in meeting them that way. Remember, a dog is nose first. It's their best sense. If I had met Paco, seen here in this video, by excitedly saying "hiiiiiii," giving direct eye contact, and trying to pet him, I would have likely been bitten. That would have been my fault. I would have broken the laws of Dog Psychology and Nature by disregarding how the animal was feeling and trying to talk and touch a species that doesn't meet that way. They meet through the nose. Most humans are unaware of this, which is why so many people are sending dogs into fight state to protect themselves against humans who are approaching dogs in an unhealthy way. Real dog lovers take the time to truly understand dogs and their psychology and put the well-being of the dog before their own personal needs. That's the REAL dog lover!

It’s been 15 years since we had dog bites . First one was a small dog that charged JoAnne and bit her leg unprovoked. Mind you JoAnne has groomed this dog many times before. The next day was my turn other its was a new customer dog 7 years old used to be groomed. Well he bit my finger so fast without warning. JoAnne off work 7 days. Me no missed days thank goodness.

The movie Designing Women with Lauren Bacall and Gregory Peck the poodle in the movie inspired me to give Klaus this haircut 

Meet Desi he is a Havanese. I have been grooming he since he was a puppy. He is 7 years old
