I Would Rather Lose You As A Client Than Hurt Your Dog Today I lost a client that I had been serving semi-regularly for years. I want to tell everyone I know that might be a client of Love Fur Dogs why I lost this client, and what that says about me as a business owner. This client came to me years ago with a small older dog that she had been grooming elsewhere for years with a very, very short shaved haircut. The little old sweetie had other issues, but her skin was extremely dry, distressed and riddled in dandruff. We conditioned her as best we could but mom would never let me do the two th ..read more

What Groomers Wish Veterinarians Knew By Jennifer Bishop-Jenkins, ICMG 8-23-20 Before anyone misinterprets the title of this blog post, I want to say loud and clear that this blog title in no way is to diminish the absolute respect and deference we hold for all veterinarians. They are THE experts in our field and we see their judgment and expertise as far above that of the average groomer. Veterinarians are our HEROES and know way more than most of us about anything related to our pets. I have great veterinarians that I have loyally been attached to for over four decades. I do what they advis ..read more

CARING FOR YOUR DOG AT HOME: Help During A Pandemic

CARING FOR YOUR DOG AT HOME: Help During A Pandemic The COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic has changed our world. One of the short term issues many families are dealing with, not only in many U.S. states but nations around the world, is that professional pet groomers everywhere are closed temporarily. And people are spending more time at home with their dogs and long-haired cats, generally unaware of the importance of home grooming at this historic time. While most “Shelter in Place” states have, appropriately, deemed pet grooming as “non-essential”, as has been declared here in Illinois, where I ..read more

The Importance of Frequent Toenail Trims to Your Dog’s Health

The Importance of Frequent Toenail Trims to Your Dog’s Health Most people who own dogs do not give their dog’s toenails much thought. Many even assume they are pretty “self-care”. In fact, dog toenails require more frequent care than do people’s toenails. And veterinary research has confirmed the very serious consequences for a dog as they age when throughout their life they have been walking with their toenails in direct contact with the ground or the floor. It is comparable, but much worse, than a woman who has been walking on four-inch high heels every day of her life, all day long. Such c ..read more

Matting or Shedding – Take Your Pick!

Matting or Shedding – Take Your Pick! One of the issues of discussion that comes up all too often with our beloved clients when they drop their dogs off to be groomed centers around variations on the theme of matting (tangled hair, often badly tangled) or shedding – the mess around the house from a dog blowing off its coat. Many are concerned about these problems – they affect the family and their quality of life. Matting and Shedding affect their lives, too. When I dreamed of opening my own grooming shop, I had never imagined that I would be spending so much time just talking about the care o ..read more
