Bob Pratte of the Press Enterprise www.pe.com was kind enough to write an article for a friend and colleague of ours in Hemet, Ca., Lisa Valentine of Valentine Mobile Grooming. Lisa recently lost her beloved friend and pet “Ray” a brown and white American Pit Bull with an amazing story of rescue and recovery.
Joe and I have had the pleasure of spending time with Ray and think he’s really an exceptional dog. Lisa is currently conducting an blanketing search for Ray, who requires medication for sarcoptic mange and may at this moment be relapsing from the good health Lisa had worked hard to achieve for him.
Every mobile animal control officer has a special note and info about Ray at this moment, but so far with no luck finding him.
Ray is exceptionally friendly and will avoid a fight to go find a friendlier dog to play with, he is agility trained with a great disposition. His skin may look poor at this point as he will have been off his medication and special food for a week and half now. If anyone has any leads please contact us! There is a reward and good chance you will be written about in the paper.

Today I wanted to write a little bit about pet couture! Well dog sweaters to be exact, a little known fact is that your groomer often cringes when they see a dog wearing one. Now that’s not all dogs, but the ones with long hair. Not that we want your pets to be cold! But we have noticed that the unfortunate effect of a sweater, especially one that is worn for weeks without being removed, creates a sort of body armor of matted hair beneath it. This is why I previously mentioned the longer haired breeds.
Basically the way it works is, friction creates matts, this is why we generally find them in armpits or behind the ears, this again is more of an issue with longer hair and especially curly type of coat. A tight sweater will press the hair down against the skin and when the pet walks, move the hair back and forth until it begins to cling together and begin to form what we call a “matt”. Once you have a small matt it grows outwards like a spiderweb and becomes larger and larger. The larger that matt is the less practical it becomes to try and work it out.
But dont panic! There is a solution. We had this same issue with our pet Willow who is a shih tzu. We let her grow out in the winter and she has some carefully chosen winter wear. What we’ve learned is that tight cotton sweaters are the worst culprits for matting up her hair. The best solution is to find a nice well fitting but not tight, velcro type of jacket. Willow’s has a warm fleece lining to keeps her feeling toasty and a waterproof exterior to keep her dry when she goes out if its raining. The jacket velcro’s easily in the front on her chest and under her lower ribs. It does a great job of keeping her warm, dry and without the unfortunate side effects of matting from a tight cotton sweater.
Additional to the selection of the coat, we make sure to take if off when she really doesn’t need to wear it, and brush through her coat to catch any little starter matts that may be appearing. Taking these steps will save you, your groomer and pet from much of frustration that dealing with matted pet hair can create!

Now the purpose of our blog is to spread the word about pet news and pet grooming and pet health. But today’s post is a little different, I just had to blog about our client Beverly, who owns Tucker, an adorable little Maltese mix that she rescued from life of neglect.
We are always amazed at the appreciation and thoughtfulness of our clients and I just had to take a photo of the gorgeous apple galette that Beverly baked and brought over to us on Monday. Doesn’t it look fabulous?? And yes it tastes AS good as it looks! There were also some delicious thumb drop cookies included as well but I’m afraid they did not make it to the photography session. Perhaps next time we can manage to NOT devour them before the day is over!
Thanks again to Beverly and Tucker! You guys are the best!
