Over Grooming

February 1, 2023/ Jenna Harrison

Grooming is an essential part of your pet’s life. There are a couple of factors that play a role in how often to groom your pet. Skin health, coat type, (long, short, medium, curly, wavy, thick, etc.), activity level, health, and breed should all be considered. What happens if we groom our pets too frequently? Grooming too frequently can result in damage to the hair follicles, dry irritated skin, and can also lead to bacterial and/or fungal infections as well.

Be Proactive for Your Pet’s Joints

January 4, 2023/ Jenna Harrison

Joint health is a topic most pet owners don’t think about until their dog or cat has begun showing signs of pain or stiffness. 

The truth is, once you start to notice signs that your pet is uncomfortable, the damage has already been done to the joint. It will take time (and a larger expense) to rebuild cartilage and try to reduce inflammation. Just like with planting a tree, the perfect time to start addressing joint health is yesterday. The second best time is today.
