Ladies and gents! It’s that time of the year when critters (ticks and fleas) like to jump onboard the four legged party bus. Please be sure to comb through your pups periodically and be sure you administer your flea and tick meds monthly. If any are found, get yourself a flea dip, check all areas where you pups sleeps, including yourselves, and sanitize those areas or dispose to avoid infestation. More importantly, monitor your pups behavior for irregularities and/or anxiety that can be attributed to a bite (in some cases a bite can cause blindness) Remember, Fuzzy Muzzle policy is no Muzzlers with fleas and/or ticks onboard. This is a courtesy to our customers to avoid any risk of cross contamination. Yes, we charge a fee if fleas and/or ticks are discovered.

Memorial Day is upon us folks!! A time when lots of muzzlers have extended stays at boarding facilities around town. Be sure to tour these facilities and check for cleanliness, adequately trained staff, space, conditions of suites, reviews, group play shouldn’t be entirely all that big of a group, observe staff interaction during group play, do they understand animal behavior? Is there enough staff members per group and are they vigilant or distracted? Do they conduct a temperament test before boarding for new customers (important)? do your homework and find the best spot for your pup. Inquire about different activities and the duration.. is there a veterinarian onsite or where is the nearest veterinarian. Observe staff, are they happy and/or appear to enjoy working for their company? Most importantly, make sure your pups are up to date with ALL their vaccinations! Shoutout to for yet another great experience for our VP, Kaizer! I think it safe to say, we think of them as a “Friend of Fuzzy”

Did you know Fuzzy Muzzle is a proud supporter of the Boys and Girls Club and TurningPoint Breast Cancer Rehabilitation? AND as you already know we are a big proponent of pet adoptions offering FREE grooms to pups adopted within 30 days of their adoption date. We love giving back to our community and encourage everybody to do the same.

Make a difference!

Neglect! Ladies and gentlemen.... through the course of 4-5 years, we’ve come across some pretty extreme cases of severely matted pups, extremely long nails, insufficient/inadequate dental care, etc... proper care begins with at home with dog owners. Not pups miraculously grooming themselves or once in a blue moon when a grooming appointment is scheduled.
If Fuzzy Muzzle recommends a summercut/shave down (coat removal in medical terms, short hair NOT skin), it is strictly for the benefit of the pup. It is the humane way of doing things. There is no need for unnecessary pain and discomfort due matt removal on pups or allowing nail to grow to the point of abnormal growth. Adequate brushing/combing provide circulation through your pups coat. The more severe matting gets the less air circulation, larger amounts of bacteria are present in matts, more irritated skin, with a increased potential for infection and/or skin conditions.
We could go on and on. Ask your vet or pick up a book on dermatology. Ask your groomer questions. They should be CERTIFIED and fully understand the risk of the aforementioned conditions.
Pups comfort 1st priority and looks come after that.
1. Schedule yearly teeth cleaning with your vet and stay on top of regular dental care in between that time
2. Brush and/or comb your pups regularly. Specially if you have a breed(s) with drop coats, double coats, and short coats. (Smooth coats include boxers, pit bulls, etc.)
This will also help you identify skin conditions, new growth, and any issues you may need to address during a vet visit

Below are some examples of some extreme scenarios we’ve come across:

Round 2: Viewing the industry as a whole... we ask you, do you research who is taking care of your pups? Are they qualified? Is there staff adequately trained? Do they truly understand animal behavior.... it all matters folks! Taking your pup to a boarding and daycare? Interview them, tour the faculty, inquire about their policies, training new employees... etc... the most minimal experience may affect your pups overall personality and outlook on group play! Just because your dog is great in a group of 6 doesn’t mean he/she is good in a group of 15.. things to think about!
