14.01.2022 There are a lot of owners out there who brush their dogs and really try to maintain them & applaud each and every one of you for giving it go & trying.... but a brush just isn’t enough ... A comb is the most essential tool ..... As you can see pictures the owner is doing a good brush brushing, the top inch of the coat is fairly knot free, but it’s what is underneath - at the skin! With a thick or curly coat ykj can’t get into the skin and you certainly won’t be getting all the dead hair out - which is what knots. .. A combs after brushing is what’s essential to keep your dog knot free. As you can see in the picture the little knots are fairly close to the skin. This means 1- I have to try to deknot to get any sort of Length through as these knots close to the skin won’t allow me to do a long trim 2- if the dog doesn’t cope with me dematting then I have no other option but to shave it down underneath those knots. ... So please make sure you have a comb & straight after brushing you comb all through your dog ... .. Thats the best way to ensure you have a knot free dog & can have a fluffy styling from us See more

12.01.2022 This is Simba one of my oldest and favourite clients he's a 10 year old German shepherd. Weights about 50kg now. He lives on a farm and was usually get a flea ...bath more as a precaution than anything else. His mates are rabbits horses cows, you name it everything. would not hurt a fly. He gets fleas 2-3 times a year and my flea bath wipes it out. This year lockdown wrecked that. He was the most flea riddled dog I've ever seen. This has set off a yeast infection all over him and he's bitten himself many times as the fleas drove him nuts. I've given him three separate flea baths including today I usually recommended Sentinel which we started him on but it's a month and quite frankly has made no difference. While I usually recommend the sentinel it's not fast acting enough in this case. Today we are trying Seresto flea collars after his bath. And I'll update you as we go in 2 weeks. This was recommended by a Vet, (who initially pushed Sentinel or bravecto first) You guys might also know I've decided to put my dogs on the collars with the reason that I won't give, my customers something that I wouldn't give to my own dogs. Ps. The last photo is the blood in the water from dead fleas See more
