Spring is shedding season! 🌸

As the weather warms up, most dogs start “blowing” their thick winter undercoat to make way for a lighter summer coat. This natural process can leave your home covered in fur and your dog feeling uncomfortable if the loose coat isn’t removed properly.

Here’s why spring grooming is so important:
• Removes the dense undercoat so your dog stays cooler
• Prevents mats and tangles that can trap moisture and cause skin issues
• Stimulates the skin and spreads natural oils for a healthier coat
• Dramatically reduces the amount of fur left around your house
• Gives us the chance to check for early signs of skin irritation or parasites

At Furry Paws we specialise in thorough spring de-shedding treatments. We use the right tools and techniques for every coat type — from Labs and German Shepherds to double-coated breeds — so your dog leaves lighter, cooler and more comfortable.

Don’t wait until the fur takes over. Book your spring de-shed now and help your dog transition smoothly into the warmer months.

Meet Cody... An Australian cattle dog who was adopted by an awesome family. Cody was unsure of other dogs though and apparently would freak out around them, so his mom contacted me and asked if we could help with socialising.

Cody then came for an assessment session, I used my dog, Eva, to test his temperament. It went very well. And so... it was decided he would join daycare... 😊

His first few times at daycare, Cody was scared, unsure, untrusting, and just wanted to be alone, huddled in a corner (first two photos as reference).

He would first watch me playing with the other dogs, and slowly became intrigued with what was happening, watch me do my 'in yard' walks with all the dogs, and by his third visit Cody settled and couldn't resist the urge to join in on the fun, and the photos are evidence of just how well he is doing and how much his self confidence has grown with other doggies...

Spring is around the corner… and so are the ticks and fleas! 🌱🛡️

Don’t wait until the warmer weather hits. A pre-spring tick and flea dip (or full protective treatment) is one of the smartest things you can do for your dog right now.

As temperatures start rising, parasite activity increases rapidly.

Treating early helps:
• Kill existing fleas and ticks
• Break the life cycle before numbers explode
• Protect your dog (and home) ahead of peak season

At Furry Paws Secunda, we offer thorough tick & flea dips and treatments as part of our professional grooming services — so your dog leaves clean, protected, and ready for the season ahead.

Book your pre-spring tick & flea treatment today and stay one step ahead.

Labrador Retrievers are known for their friendly nature… and unfortunately, also for sensitive skin. 🐶

Many Labs are prone to eczema (atopic dermatitis) — a common allergic skin condition that causes itching, redness, dry patches, and secondary infections. Genetics, environmental allergens (pollen, dust mites, grass), and even food sensitivities play a role.

What you can do at home to help:
• Brush regularly to remove allergens and loose fur
• Wipe paws after walks to reduce pollen and grass contact
• Use gentle, hypoallergenic dog shampoos (avoid over-bathing)
• Keep bedding clean and wash it often
• Consider omega-3 supplements (ask your vet first)
• Watch for excessive licking or scratching and consult your vet early

What we can do at Furry Paws to help:
• Regular professional grooming to keep the coat clean and free of irritants
• Specialised medicated baths and soothing treatments
• Gentle de-shedding and skin-focused care tailored for sensitive Labs
• Early detection of hot spots or irritation during every groom

Healthy skin starts with consistent care. If your Lab is scratching more than usual, let’s work together to keep them comfortable.
