Fur, Feathers & More

Spas for you pooch? Paws need a pedi or is it a mani? Little Belle or Buster need their fur groomed too. Shorten and file those nails, check their ears and keep them shiny and buff at Faux Paws Pet Spa & Salon. Plenty of dog grooming facilities offer pampering for you beloved pet this summer. Keep your pet hydrated, be sure they get a check up, watch out for fleas. 

We've found that grinding our dogs nails down is better. Sounds rough,  but it's safer and better according to the vet. (We'll explore this one some more.)

My dog still enjoys going on long walks, we try to do this at night, if it cools off any. Great exercise for both of us. Be sure to look around or ask other pet owners where a dog park is too, if you don't know. Dogs love to socialize too. They can run until their hearts content. Then maybe your dog won't give you the "I'm bored" look too. My dog loves to play catch whether it's in the house or in the yard. Throw a bone, ball or other toy and she's off like a shot. 

Also, beware of shampoos and what you might use at home to give your dog a bath. Some of these can be very harsh on your dog's skin, not to mention may cause more problems with their health if they are allergic, or other issues. Check with your vet to be sure.
