🐾🔴 DOG GROOMING TIP OF THE WEEK 🔴🐾

🐶 ITCHY, SCRATCHY & A LITTLE BIT PATCHY!

Is your pooch licking, chewing or scratching like there's no tomorrow? 🥴

Before they turn that itch into a full-blown skin drama, let's talk SKIN IRRITATION & HOT SPOTS! ✂️🐾

🔍 WHAT IS A HOT SPOT?
A hot spot is a sore, inflamed area of skin that can appear and spread VERY quickly!

It may look red, wet, raw, swollen or oozy and it can be seriously uncomfortable.

🚩 SIGNS TO WATCH FOR:

🔴 Red or irritated skin
🐾 Constant licking, chewing or scratching
🩹 Raw, moist or weeping patches
✂️ Sudden hair loss or matted fur
👃 Unusual smells, scabs or discharge
😣 Soreness when touched

🌿 WHAT CAN CAUSE IT?

• Fleas, insect bites or allergies
• Damp fur and trapped moisture
• Mats and tangles irritating the skin
• Ear problems or skin infections
• Repeated licking, chewing or scratching

💜 SCOTTY'S GROOMING SMARTS

✔️ Check your dog's skin regularly, right down through the coat.
✔️ Keep coats brushed and free from painful mats.
✔️ Dry your pooch thoroughly after swimming or bathing.
✔️ Keep flea prevention up to date with advice from your vet.
✔️ If you spot a sore, don't ignore it — or try to groom over it!

🚨 IMPORTANT: If you find a hot spot or raw, weeping skin, contact your vet promptly.
Prevent further licking if you can do so safely, and never cut mats or hair away from a sore with scissors.
Avoid applying human creams or medications unless your vet advises you to.

✂️ A GROOMER'S GENTLE REMINDER
A healthy coat starts with healthy skin!
Grooming helps us spot changes early, but skin irritation isn't always a grooming problem, the underlying cause may need veterinary treatment.

🐾🎉 DOG FAMILY OF THE WEEK — THE FAB FOUR! 🎉🐾

Introducing our fabulous four-legged family!
2 Cavoodles, 1 Miniature Poodle, and 1 King Charles Cavalier! 🐶🐶🐶🐶❤️

A family built on love, laughter, mischief… and just a little bit of CHAOS! 😂💥

Four personalities, eight paws worth of trouble (well, a few more paws than that 😉), and enough energy to keep Mum on her toes!

But today at Dog Grooming at
Scotty’s, something extraordinary happened…

✨ They were CALM.
✨ They were OBEDIENT.
✨ They were absolutely little ANGELS! 😇

We had to check that we had the right dogs! 😂🙌

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a testament to a mother's patience, persistence, and dedication.
❤️ Because behind every well-mannered pack is a mum who never gives up, keeps showing up, and somehow manages to keep the chaos under control!

Mum, we salute you! 🫡🏆

Four gorgeous faces, one beautiful family, and proof that patience really does pay off… even if the peace and quiet only lasts until they get home! 🤣🐾

From chaos crew to perfectly behaved crew.
At least for today! ❤️✂️

🐾📢 DOG GROOMING TIP OF THE WEEK 📢🐾

🗣️ TO BARK OR NOT TO BARK… THAT IS THE QUESTION! 😂

Ever feel like your dog has appointed themselves the neighbourhood watch, security alarm AND town crier? 🚨🐶

BARK! BARK! BARK!

The postie exists? BARK!
A leaf moved? BARK!
Someone dared to walk past the house? ABSOLUTELY BARK! 🤣

But why do our dogs bark, and when is it too much?

🔍 WHY DO DOGS BARK?

🐕 Alerting: Someone's at the door or near the property.
🎾 Excitement: Visitors, walks, playtime or their favourite human arriving home.
😟 Fear or anxiety: They're worried, overwhelmed or unsure.
🥱 Boredom: Not enough stimulation, exercise or interaction.
👀 Attention-seeking: They've learned barking gets them what they want.
🐶 Communication: Sometimes they're simply trying to tell us something!

💚 WHEN IS BARKING APPROPRIATE?

A few alert barks, excited greetings or the occasional woof are normal dog behaviour. Barking is one way dogs communicate.

🚩 WHEN DOES IT BECOME A PROBLEM?

🔸 Barking for long periods or at every little noise
🔸 Repeated barking at passers-by
🔸 Barking that disturbs neighbours
🔸 Barking when left alone
🔸 Barking accompanied by panic, aggression or distress

🏡 HOW CAN WE ENCOURAGE LESS BARKING?

✔️ Reward calm, quiet behaviour.
✔️ Provide walks, sniffing games, play and mental stimulation.
✔️ Teach a cue such as “quiet” using rewards and patience.
✔️ Reduce triggers where possible — close the blinds if the neighbourhood parade is too exciting! 😂
✔️ Avoid yelling, punishment or bark collars that may increase fear or anxiety.

🐾 SCOTTY'S TIP:

Don't just tell your dog to stop barking — try to understand WHY they're barking!

A bored dog needs stimulation.
A frightened dog needs reassurance and support.
An alert dog needs guidance on when the job is done. ❤️

And remember, if barking suddenly increases or becomes excessive, speak with your vet or a qualified, reward-based trainer to help identify the cause.

☀️🐾 DOG GROOMING TIP OF THE WEEK 🐾☀️

🥵 HOT DOGS BELONG ON THE BBQ… NOT ON THE FOOTPATH! 😂

Australian summer is no joke, and while your pooch might be keen for a walk, hot weather can turn a lovely stroll into a dangerous outing.

🌡️ SUMMER WALKING DANGERS

🔥 HOT PAVEMENTS
Footpaths, roads and sand can burn sensitive paw pads. If it's too hot for the back of your hand, it's too hot for their paws!

🥵 HEATSTROKE
Dogs can overheat quickly, especially flat-faced breeds, older dogs, puppies and overweight pooches.

🐾 BURNT PAW PADS
Watch for limping, licking paws, redness or blisters.

💧 DEHYDRATION
Always carry fresh water and offer regular drinks.

☀️ SUNBURN
Light-coloured, thin-coated and sparsely furred dogs can burn too, especially around their ears and nose.

🐍 SUMMER NASTIES
Snakes, ticks and prickly grass seeds can turn an adventure into a trip to the vet.

💚 SCOTTY'S SUMMER SMARTS

✔️ Walk early in the morning or later in the evening when it's
cooler.
✔️ Check the ground before setting off.
✔️ Take water and choose shady routes.
✔️ Skip the walk on extreme heat days — sniffing games at home count as fun too!
✔️ Never leave your dog in a parked car.

🚨 KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS

Heavy panting, excessive drooling, weakness, vomiting, confusion or collapse can signal heatstroke.

Move your dog somewhere cool and seek urgent veterinary care. Don't wait for symptoms to pass.

🐶 SCOTTY'S GOLDEN RULE:
Your dog doesn't care if they miss a walk — they'd rather be cool, safe and snoozing than sizzling like a snag! 😂🌭

⚠️ VET DISCLAIMER:
This post is for general information only and does not replace veterinary advice. If your dog shows signs of heat illness, contact a vet urgently.

🐾🍑 DOG GROOMING TIP OF THE WEEK 🍑🐾
🛷 WHY IS MY DOG SCOOTING?
We've all seen it…
The infamous bum shuffle! 😂
But regular scooting can mean something is irritating your pooch.
🔍 COMMON REASONS:
🍑 A**l sac problems
🌿 Allergies or itchy skin
🪱 Parasites, including tapeworms
🧼 Something stuck in the fur
🔴 Skin irritation or infection
🚩 WATCH FOR:
• Frequent scooting
• Excessive licking or biting
• Redness or swelling
• Strong fishy smell
• Blood or discharge
• A lump or sore
• Pain or trouble pooing
🐶 SCOTTY'S TIP:
Scooting doesn't automatically mean “needs their glands done!” There can be several reasons behind that little bum shuffle.
If it keeps happening, get to the bottom of it! 😂🍑
⚠️ VET DISCLAIMER:
This post is for general information only and is not a substitute for veterinary advice. If your dog is scooting frequently, seems painful, or you notice swelling, discharge, blood or a lump, please have them checked by your vet.

They’ve got the handsome looks…

But underneath all that flirting and beachside swagger, there’s one person who has their hearts completely…

Dad! ❤️

These boys absolutely adore their old man and wouldn’t dream of leaving him out of their daily adventures.

🐾👃 DOG GROOMING TIP OF THE WEEK 👃🐾

👃 LOOK AFTER THAT LOVELY LITTLE SNOOT!

That precious schnoz does a lot more than sniff out snacks! 😂

Give it a quick check during grooming and cuddle time.

💚 HEALTHY SNOOT

✔️ Smooth & clean
✔️ Normal colour for your dog
✔️ Clear, open nostrils
✔️ No sores, cracks, or swelling
✔️ Little to no discharge
✔️ Comfortable breathing

And remember: A warm or dry nose doesn't automatically mean your dog is unwell. 👃☀️

🚩 RED FLAGS TO WATCH FOR

🔸 Crusting, cracking, or persistent dryness
🔸 Redness, sores, or bleeding
🔸 Swelling or unusual colour changes
🔸 Thick yellow, green, or bloody discharge
🔸 Persistent runny nose or sneezing
🔸 Pawing or rubbing at the nose
🔸 Noisy or difficult breathing
🔸 Discharge from just one nostril

🚨 If you notice something unusual or your pooch seems uncomfortable, have your vet check it out.

🐶 SCOTTY'S SNOOT CHECK

Clean? ✔️
Clear? ✔️
Comfortable? ✔️
Sniffing everything they shouldn't?
ABSOLUTELY! 😂👃

At Dog Grooming at Scotty’s, we keep an eye out for the little things while your pooch is being pampered. ✂️🛁🐾

Healthy Snoot = Happy Sniffer! 💕

🐾🌟 DOG OF THE WEEK — MR. KYLO! 🌟🐾
Meet Mr. Kylo — a handsome boy with a name that was always going to happen in a family of serious Star Wars fans! ⭐️🐶

But forget the dark side… this Kylo has a much more important mission! Getting attention, collecting pats and making sure everyone knows he’s arrived! 😂

When he’s not at the salon, Kylo can usually be found at the netball courts on the weekend, watching all the action and keeping a very close eye on the competition. 🏐👀

We suspect he’s not just there for the sport… he’s probably scouting out his next fan club! 😏

With plenty of charm, a cheeky little personality and absolutely no shortage of confidence, Mr. Kylo is definitely strong with the Force! ✨

May the fluff be with you, Kylo! 🐾✂️❤️
