How often should my pet be groomed?

For short-haired dogs, we suggest a minimum of four spa baths each year, or one for each season. Dogs and cats with long-hair or high-maintenance coats need attention every four-to-six weeks, particularly if they do not receive maintenance combing and brushing at home. Regular spa bath and treatments will reduce the amount of shedding and allergens in your home, as well as keeping your pet free from long comb-out sessions of matted or tangled hair

Why is my dog so nervous when going to the groomers?

Going to different groomers and different shops makes dogs more nervous, they are creatures of habit. We want your pet to feel like a member of our Family.Through the many years of grooming it seems that more pets now are having a problem leaving home and family - our own fears have lead to our pets fears.

Poisoning ALERT!!!!

from Burnt Hills Veterinary Hospital

Sago Palm
    Poisoning Alert- It has come to our attention that many home improvement stores are selling a houseplant 
that can cause serious poisoning in pets and children. 
    The plant is called the “Sago Palm” or “Cycad”. It is also referred to as “The Oldest Known Plant”.It is used in outdoor landscaping in Southern States, but can only survive as a houseplant in the North.
                             All of this plant, including the seeds and root ball are toxic.
      Signs of illness first appear about 12 hours after ingestion and include gastrointestinal sign such as vomiting, diarrhea and lethargy. The toxins in the plant lead to severe liver failure with progressive weakness, jaundice, bruising and bleeding and other signs of liver failure that lead to death.       
       It is estimated that 75-80% of animals ingesting this plant will die in spite of aggressive medical treatment. If you have one of these plants in your home you will want to be sure to keep it away from pets and children, preferably by disposing of it safely in a covered trash can or “rehome” it with someone who does not have pets or young children in the household
