Travelled down to World Pet Expo in Maryland to attend a 5 hour pet first aid & CPR class. #doggiestylepine #doggrooming #doggiestylepets

I don't normally post things like this because it's not normally a conversation I need to have but... Dog grooming is a vital part of the health and well being of a dog or cat. I love my job because I get to watch dogs grow, in their family, in themselves, from puppyhood to senior years. Groomers often are the first line of defense in identifying medical issues because we see dogs on level that most owners do not. But there are other times, like this pup where all we can do is provide temporary relief to a dog suffering from lack of care. This is often a very frustrating and avoidable aspect of my job. I try very hard to not approach issues like this with judgement but rather education. I do this so that people work with me to openly discuss and develop a plan to meet the grooming needs of their pets so I don't have to see dogs in this kind of position. So please, feel free to speak up or ask questions but also understand that I speak from a lot of experience and am not trying to sell you a service or scam you, I'm giving you information that's tried and true from years of experience and working with hundreds of dogs.

It's that time of year again! If you see a dog in a car, remember you have a choice to call 911. Many don't know how dangerous it can be and how quickly a dog can go into distress! #dogsofphilly #doggiestylepine #doggiestylepets

This is the only defined "puppy cut". Still want a puppy cut? Beyond that each groomer & owner defines #puppycut differently. So please don't ask for a "puppy cut"

It's hard looking so pretty! #chow #rescued #dogsofphilly #doggiestlypets #doggiestylepine

Don't want to shave your dog in winter? This time of year a Neat'n Up is a great way to extend your haircut. It includes a bath, brush, sanitary trim, cleaning up the eyes & paws.
