TGIF!!

The Akita is a double-coated breed, which means the dog has an undercoat that is plush, thick and reasonable short. Its out coat, sometimes called a guard coat, is sometimes longer on the withers and the tail.

Pet groomers are experts in their field. Their eyes are trained to look for scratches and any signs of health problems that you may not notice on your own. A groomer will not only send you home with a clean dog but can also help diagnose potential problems.

If you have a long-haired pet, then chances are that he or she will experience hair mats. Hair mats occur when your pet's hair clumps together in parts, or his or her fur gets badly tangled. Professional grooming is one of the best ways to keep hair matting under control.

Regular home brushing keeps the coat shiny and reduces shedding. We can offer advice on the proper comb to use and the proper brushing technique.

One common myth about dogs is that they are color blind. In fact, researchers have determined dogs can see shades of a number of colors, including blue, yellow and green.

Does your pet shed? If so, that can be an issue for many owners, particularly with long-haired animals that shed heavily. Regular grooming sessions limit the amount of hair that sheds, so that there isn’t as much hair and pet dander on your floors and furniture.

Did you know that your dog’s coat is a direct reflection of his or her diet? If your dog has a dietary imbalance, it will be readily seen by the condition of their coat. Unhealthy skin or skin that is too dry or oily can often be remedied by changing the diet.

Dogs can be very protective of their paws, even with their owners. That can make it difficult to trim nails without hurting the dog or cutting into the quick. Professional groomers know how to restrain dogs and quickly cut claws so that there is no pain and no blood is spilled.

For small dogs during the warmer months, the teddy bear cut is one of the most popular and comfortable. The hair on the body is shortened, as is the hair on the face and head, but it is left slightly longer than the body’s. It is not quite as dramatic as a lion cut.

Although you may not mind letting your cats handle their own grooming and bathing under normal circumstances, some substances are trickier to get out of their fur than others. If your cats are having trouble maintaining their coats, we’re always happy to lend a hand.

A professional dog groomer can be an important defense mechanism when it comes to your dog’s health. They will be able to catch any abnormalities like lumps that will not go away, skin irritations, rashes, and lesions, as well as gum or teeth problems.
