"The love, knowledge and respect of animals
lead me to a career in grooming dogs, and it
is what drives me to be the best groomer
that I can be. Quality grooming and strong
customer relationships are what exceptional
grooming is all about."
We're excited about this new Paradise

manicure.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
GROOMING QUESTIONS.....
Why should I have my dog groomed?
Most pet owners confuse "grooming" with "clipping."
Clipping is only one procedure in the grooming process.
Grooming also includes combing and brushing, cutting
nails, plucking hair from ears and parasite control.
Although the most
obvious result of these procedures is an improved
appearance, the major benefits to your pet are increased
comfort and social acceptability and perhaps even improved
health.
Do all dogs need grooming?
All dogs need an occasional bath, but it is more important
to keep your dog combed and brushed, especially if your
dog has long hair. Matted hair can easily cause skin
problems and unnecessary discomfort for your pet. If
neglected for too long, it might eventually necessitate a
lengthy grooming session, which could be uncomfortable for
your pet and expensive for your. Regular brushing,
on the other hand, improves your dog's skin tone and
circulation, and makes the coat healthier and more
attractive.
My dog has a very strong odor.
Bathing doesn't seem to help. Why?
It's possible that your dog's teeth, ears, or anal sacs
are responsible for the problem. Your groomer will
be able to help you to determine the nature of the problem
and refer you to your veterinarian if necessary.
What are anal glands?
They are small sacs located on either side of the rectum.
They sometimes need to be expressed or emptied. Some
groomers accomplish this as a part of the grooming
service. If this is the cause of our dog's odor
problem, bathing alone will not solve it. Your
groomer will be happy to explain this procedure in more
detail.
My dog scratches all the time, but I
can't find any fleas on her. What's the problem?
Scratching is often caused by dry skin and not fleas.
This could be the result of excessive bathing, dry
climate, nutritional deficiency, food allergies, or the
the wrong type of shampoo. Discuss this problem with
your groomer or veterinarian.
Why do my dog's nails get so long?
Because your dog doesn't walk on hard surfaces often
enough to keep them worn down. You should have them
checked at least once a month. Walking on pavement
will help wear them down naturally.
I have my dog clipped every six months,
but she doesn't look as pretty as my neighbor's dog.
Is that my groomer's fault? Your
neighbor probably has regular six to eight week
appointments with the groomer, and keeps the dog well
brushed between appointments. This kind of regular
attention enables the groomer to devote more time and
effort to beautifying the dog, rather than to de-matting
and trying to salvage a neglected coat.
