Due to the unusually mild winter we've had, there's been a surge of dogs suffering from Fleas this winter. People who are used to not treating their animals during winter have found themselves infested due to the warmer than normal temperatures and lack of killing frost/snow. All it takes is one infested dog to visit the dog park, deposit some of his "friends" and next thing you know, your poor pets are itching and scratching themselves raw! As such, we're seeing more clients who's dogs are infested coming in to be groomed.
An additional fee of $10 applies for any dog requiring a flea bath/treatment.
So please keep this in mind when booking a grooming appointment!
If your dog is suffering from fleas, we recommend seeing your Veterinarian and asking for K9 Advantix II, Advantage II, Frontline PLUS (regular Frontline does not control flea development), or Bio-Spot Defense.
Please do NOT use anything over-the-counter from the pet store (we know that saving a few bucks may be really tempting), like the stuff made by Hartz. Those products can be dangerous when applied incorrectly, and can cause severe side effects. Only get your pet's flea medications from a Veterinarian! Lastly, Flea Collars do not work so don't waste your money!
Here's hoping everyone has an itch-free winter!
