✨And they called it puppy love!✨
Taz, the 8 month old chocolate Labrador Retriever, came in for his very first spa day at the salon today! 🐾🤎
Everything was brand new for this sweet boy — new smells, new sounds, and his very first grooming experience. Puppy grooming can be a little intimidating no matter their size, so I made sure to take things slow, be patient, and give him lots of encouragement, cuddles, and kisses along the way. My goal is always to help puppies feel safe and loved so they grow up happy and confident coming in for their grooming appointments.
Taz came in struggling with some itchy, flaky skin, so we treated him to a soothing probiotic shampoo and conditioning treatment by Skout’s Honor to help calm irritation and bring some shine back to his beautiful coat. ✨ I also worked slowly to get him comfortable with the dryer and was able to dry him straight through like a champ! Afterward, I used a rubber deshedding brush to help remove some of that loose puppy coat he’s been blowing out.
We finished his spa day with Forever Velvety cologne by Hydra and, of course, plenty of extra kisses for being such a brave and wonderful boy. 🐶💛 ❤️
