The Dog Shop

Another Five-star Yelp Review!

topdawg — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 15:46:55 +0000

Best place I’ve found for dog grooming at the best price. My dogs looked great and they had a wonderful time. I felt good about leaving them at a place that felt like “doggie daycare” rather than somewhere they’re led off in a back room to sit in a crate. My golden is really social and had an absolute blast.

Thank you, Tracy!

No more puppy mills

Besides being dog groomers, we are (of course) dog lovers. This cute video conveys an important message – no more puppy mills!

Just Say No to Puppy Mills This Holiday Season

We like to joke around a lot at The Fluffington Post, but we’re all kinds of serious when it comes to treating animals well. That’s why we’re happy to join the ASPCA in calling for an end to puppy mills.

If you’re planning to add a puppy to your family this holiday season, please consider adoption instead of purchasing one through a pet store. And if you’re planning to buy gifts for the pets already in your life, please try not to purchase anything from pet stores that sell puppies from puppy mills.

Americans plan to spend more than $2.5 billion on pets this holiday season, according to recently released poll. Unfortunately, more than half of pet shoppers say they would consider shopping at a store that also sells puppies — meaning a big chunk of that $2.5 billion could directly or indirectly support the puppy mill industry.

When you’re out shopping for your pets this month, make sure you’re shopping at stores that don’t use puppy mills. And please like or reblog this post to help us spread this important message.

Assessing Dog Breeds

As dog groomers, assessing dog breeds is something we do every day…

Dog breed tests: Do they really work?
In a recent blog post, I introduced my quest to learn the lineage of my 2-year-old mutt, Otis (pictured above). Labeled a “husky mix” at the animal shelter, he has since grown to resemble a strange brew of canine breeds, inspiring people to guess everything from Akita and beagle to German shepherd and chihuahua.

I decided to clear things up by ordering a dog-breed DNA test, which involved swabbing skin cells from Otis’ cheeks and mailing them to a lab for analysis.
