YOU MAY BE THINKING YOUR SAVING MONEY BY GOING
TO THE GROOMERS MAYBE ONCE OR
TWICE A YEAR. AND YOU ARE.
BUT THINK OF WHAT YOUR POOR DOG IS GOING
THROUGH.
THE HAIR IS PULLING ON YOUR DOGS SKIN 24/7 IT'S INHUMANE
AND CONSIDERED ANIMAL ABUSE.
HE'S IN PAIN ALL THE TIME FROM THIS.
WOULD YOU TREAT YOUR CHILD
OR A MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY
LIKE THIS NO I DON'T THINK SO.
SO WHY TREAT YOUR DOG
LIKE THIS. HE'S A MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY ALSO.
SOME OF THE EXCUSES I HEAR OF WHY
I DON'T SEE THE DOGS FOR A YEAR ARE
1. I HAVE BEEN SO BUSY I JUST HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME
IF THAT'S THE CASE I THINK YOU SHOULD FIND
NEW OWNERS THAT HAVE THE TIME
TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR
FUR FRIEND
2. HAS IT BEEN A YEAR I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO
3. I LOOKED AT HIM/HER LAST MONTH AND HE WAS FINE THEN
THE BEST OF WHAT I HEAR OF HOW COME YOUR FUR FRIEND GOT SO MATTED
1. THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEK WHEN IT RAINED
2. I BRUSHED HIM LAST NIGHT I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
3. HE/SHE GOT MATTED OVER NIGHT
4. I GAVE HIM A BATH LAST WEEK AND HE WAS JUST FINE.
5. HE JUMPED IN THE POOL/LAKE LAST WEEKEND AND GOT LIKE THIS
6. IT HAPPENED OVER NIGHT
7. HE'S SO TRAUMATIZED BY BEING GROOMED (IF HE'S
ONLY BEING GROOMED ONCE A YEAR I CAN SEE WHY)
8. THE LAST TIME HE WAS GROOMED BY THE OTHER GROOMER HE WAS RIGHT DOWN TO THE SKIN
(I WOULD SAY TO YOU WELL HE'S GOING TO BE LIKE THAT AGAIN
WEATHER YOU GO TO ME OR SOMEONE ELSE)
I CAN GO ON AND ON WITH THE EXCUSES THAT I HEAR AND ALL THE OTHER
GROOMERS IN THE COUNTRY HEAR.
BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THESE DOGS WERE
NEGLECTED NO MATTER WHAT THE EXCUSE IS.
THESE PICTURES ON ALL OF
THESE PAGES DO NOT HAPPEN OVER NIGHT,
OVER A PERIOD OF A WEEK OR WHATEVER.
THIS HAPPENS OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.
WITH NO GROOMING, BRUSHING ETC.
ANOTHER AREA OF NEGLECT ARE THE NAILS, THEY SHOULD BE DONE AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH
THE PICTURES YOUR LOOKING AT ARE NAILS THAT SHOULD
OF HAD ATTENTION LONG BEFORE THEY GOT
LIKE THIS.
I'VE HAD DOGS COME IN WITH THE NAILS GROWING RIGHT INTO
THE PAD, AND INTO THE LEG.
IMAGINE YOUR SELF WALKING AROUND WITH A NAIL IN YOUR FOOT
FOR MONTHS AT A TIME. IT WOULD BE QUITE PAINFUL, IT
WOULD ALSO PROBABLY GET INFECTED TO BOOT.
YOU WOULDN'T LIKE IT. IT WOULD HURT LIKE THE DICKENS, AND YOU WOULD HAVE
PROBLEMS WALKING BECAUSE OF THE PAIN YOU ARE IN. SO
WHY PUT YOUR BEST FRIEND THROUGH THIS KIND OF PAIN. THERE'S NO
REASON FOR IT. POP INTO YOUR GROOMERS, YOUR VET IF JUST
TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO CLIP THE NAILS
THIS PICTURE BELOW SHOWS THE DOG
BEING SHAVED AND IT'S COMING OFF AS ONE PEACE
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOUR GOING TO FIND UNDER THE HAIR.
I'VE GROOMED DOGS LIKE THIS AND HAVE FOUND MAGGETS
MAGGETS EAT INTO THE DOGS SKIN AND
MAKE THERE WAY TO THE INSIDE OF YOUR DOG
IF CAUGHT TO LATE THE DOG HAS TO
BE PUT DOWN.
