Q. How often
should I have my dog groomed?
A. That really all depends on what
breed, environment, and lifestyle. Some dogs that have skin allergies
might require more frequent bathing. Bigger dogs do not require to be
bathed as often as smaller dogs. Hair grows at a different rate on
some dogs.

Q. Why does my dog have fleas a couple of days after a flea treatment?
A. When we do a flea treatment in
the shop we are only taking care of the fleas that are presently on
the pet. The environment in which the dog lives has to be treated
also. Our recommendation is to treat your house and yard organically.
Check out The Dirt Doctor.

Q.
What is the brown discoloration under my dog's eyes?
A. The discoloration is from a
dog's tears. We recommend Diamond Eye. Keep this area clean by taking
a cotton ball and warm water and wiping the area gently. This will cut
down on the odor caused by the bacteria.

Q. Why
does my dog scoot his butt across the floor?
A. This could be a couple of
different things. The dog might have worms. Or his/her anal glands
need to be expressed. We provide this service in the shop. Larger dogs
can generally express their own, but smaller dogs need a little help.
If your dog has worms, The Groom Shop LLC recommends that you feed your
dog Muenster Natural Dog Food. It has natural diatomaceous earth in
the food, which helps eliminate pests inside the animal.

Q.
Why do my dog's toenails appear long after being cut?
A. Dogs have quicks just like
humans. If the toenail is not cut often and they grow long the quicks
grow long also. When you continue to cut the nail often, the quicks
start receding.

Q. What kind of
shampoo should I use?

use human shampoo for your dog. The Groom Shop LLC recommends Espree

can I feed my dog?
A. First of all it is very

do not feed your pet processed meats, onions, chocolate or grapes.

Q.
I brush my dog everyday, why is the hair so matted?
A. It is very important that you
use the proper brush. Different type coats require different type
brushes. If you are brushing only the top of the dog's coat, you are
most likely brushing over the top of the mats. Gently pull the hair up
and brush under layers first. Dogs that have undercoat will need to
have it blown out and then use what is called a rake to pull the
excess hair out.

Q. Can I bathe my dog too
often?
A. Yes, if your dog has dry skin.
When bathing your dog you wash away natural oils. We recommend using a
re-moisturizing conditioner and brushing your dog often to bring back
the natural oils. Again a healthy diet will help.
