 In times of unforeseen events, it is imperative that your groomer remains calm to assess the situation so they can provide your dog with the immediate aid it needs. My commitment to your pup's health & safety ensures that you have peace of mind placing them in my care. This dedication is exemplified through being First Aid and CPR certified, ensuring that your dog receives the necessary care as promptly as possible.

 The knowledge gained from this 2 day advanced course is an invaluable tool that helps me better serve your pup. Having a deeper understanding of the science behind the many challenges pet parents face when trying to address skin & coat problems helps me provide the best recommendations to soothe & correct a plethora of issues. Improving your dog's skin & coat improves their quality of life. Fun fact #1: Dogs pant as a means of ‘sweating’ & cooling themselves down. They also sweat through their paws. Fun Fact #2: Hypoallergenic means something that is less likely to produce an allergic reaction. It does not mean allergy free. All dog breeds & all hair types produce some varied amount of dander.

 They say beauty is skin deep, & in the grooming world it's certainly true! Healthy skin is a beautiful thing but sometimes finding the right solutions or products for your dog's unique needs can be a dizzying & expensive experience. Having a groomer on your dog's side armed with a greater understanding of the biology of your dog's skin can be a massive help! Fun Fact #1: The most common allergy to dogs second only to flea bites is environmental, not food. Many dogs suffer from seasonal pollen allergies just like us! Fun fact #2: Food allergies are far less common than you’d think & often include diarrhea &/or vomiting, not just itchy skin.
