December News at The Groom Room

Dog of the Month

Yes! this really is the same Cocker Spaniel before and after a "rescue mission" at The Groom Room. Don't be misled by all the hair - it may look soft and cuddly, but this poor dog was in a hair - straight jacket! Underneath the fluff her hair had woven together into a solid mat which pulled at her skin with every move she made ☺ Slowly and very carefully our skilled staff removed the matted coat which came off in one piece! What a joy it was to see her bound around playfully after her groom was complete, it must have felt fantastic to be released!

Weight Clinic for your Dog

Being overweight is a danger to your dog's well-being and Christmas is just the time to be taking steps to stop your dog's weight increasing!

Just look at these problems which are a direct result of your dog being allowed to be overweight:

Arthritis and hip dysplasia made much worse
Inability to exercise because it's such an effort
Heart and liver disease created
Diabetes brought on
Anaesthetic risk if an operation is required
Poor unhealthy skin and coats

Talk to your groomer or your vet about your dog's diet, food type and the exercise he / she gets. It isn't our dogs who 'get' overweight, it is us who 'make them' overweight! But thankfully it is simpler than you think to bring down the weight, and your whole family will share the fun of having their healthy, active pet back again!

If you're not due to visit the grooming salon, give us a ring, we are always more than happy to share advice to help you keep your pet healthy and happy ☺
