Danielle's Pet Grooming

Got bit today, luckily no blood was shed. The culprit, Penny the doodle. Apparently she didn’t want her front legs clipped and tried to pulled away and when that didn’t work she decided to try the teeth. Penny is fairly new to the grooming process and learning the ropes. She was very good for the rest of the groom so I managed to catch this goofy face on camera.

While I’m away from my dogs/poodles I have arranged care for them and not leaving it entirely up to my hubby. Raz and Cherie are going to daycare Monday Wednesday and Friday. My amazing girl Delaena will be coming over to brush out Cherie and Raz Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Having 2 poodles in full coat is a lot of work, and I refuse to let either of them get matted. So even though I am away the work is getting done, because not doing it is not an option.

Here are some photos and a couple of videos of my high maintenance poodles. Thanks to those involved in their care while I visit my kids and my brother and family.

Forgot to post this.

This is where we made it too.

Grooming is all about learning from the best in our industry. When the best put on seminars and fun matches you just gotta go. I love what I do and always want to get better. I have been working on the English Cocker for a while now. It is a hand strip groom with a very defined profile. I used Willow a 9 month old puppy with puppy coat, even more of a challenge. She has been chewing her ears and feathering so our profile was not great. Now we are in grow mode to prepare her for her next dog show in May. Sadly I won’t be able to use her for the West Coast Groom Fest competition but I have secured a dog from a breeder to use in her place.

Willow is a sweetie and has learned great table manners, thanks for allowing me to learn on her Cindy Thomas

Please please please do this with your puppy! Especially on the face! It would help your groomer out exponentially for a lifetime of happy grooming experiences. FYI the more you practice and do at home, the better you set your dog up for life.

Please just brush your dog😟

The severity of mats. Mats are more than just a tangle in your dogs coat. A lot of people are unaware just how detrimental a mat is. Here is some knowledge on mats that will be quite the eye opener.
1. Mats pull on the skin.
2. They harbor bacteria, dead skin, debri and can smell.
3. They can create sores and wounds underneath.
4. Mats in the paw pads or armpits can change your dogs gait.
5. They are painful just existing. Creates bad blood circulation and can cause the blood to rush back to that area when removed. Hematomas. Bruising.

Removing mats:
1. Removing mats by brushing them out takes ALOT of time. And therefore costs more money.
2. Brushing them out still damages that hair.
3. Cutting them out can be dangerous especially if done by a non professional and will leave holes in the coat.
4. Clipping them out is still a lot of time, stressful and painful as the mats are pulled and tugged. It takes a very close (short) cut to get underneath mats to get them out. About 1/4 inch of coat will be left or bald spots.
5. When your dog needs the groomer to remove mats they are not set up for success. It is far more difficult to remain calm, comfortable and cooperative
