Health Benefits

According to vetstreet.com, pet grooming isn't just about expensive prissy grooming. It has become a necessity to provide better care for our pets. Not only does grooming make your pet looking sharp, but it helps to spot health problems such as lumps, discolorations, injuries, tick or fleas, or mats. With detecting any serious problems right away, they can be treated by a vet before it gets worse. In some cases, you can detect cancer soon enough to save your pets life. 

It's All in the Breed

Some breeds like Chows, Collies, and Keeshonden are "double coated" meaning they have a downy undercoat underneath a harsher layer of long hair. Matting or tangling can become a problem if regular grooming isn't handled properly. Brushing can be done at home and helps to keep the long fur from building up on furniture and can help keep your pet cooler in the summer and allows new insulation come in for the winter. Silky haired dogs such as Afghan Hounds, Cockers, and Maltese need constant care to keep the matting tamed, it's best that a groomer trims this breeds fur to a medium length. Poodles and Terriers have curly or wiry coats and need to be clipped every six weeks and wiry ones typically need to be trimmed two or three times a year. 

A Groomed Pet is a Happy Pet

Our pets feel the benefits after being groomed just like we feel after being pampered; relaxed, clean, and comfortable. Regular grooming can also benefit the owner's health if they suffer allergies and can ease the stress of your day. At Diamonds in the Ruff, we provide a grooming experience that your pet will enjoy. They will leave feeling fresh, clean, and relaxed. If you are looking for a professional pet groomer in Abilene, contact us at 325-695-2931.

Pampered Pups

Pampered Pups

Pet grooming has come a long way from a quick wash in the backyard. Now your pet can be pampered in ways that will make the Kardashian's jealous. Other than a wash and cut, pets can be pampered with a luxurious bath, stylish cut, message, dental scrub, or ear cleaning. Boarding and doggie daycare are now popular options for owners. A full pawdicure is a delightful choice and now with an extensive list of doggie safe paw-lishes.

Paw-lished Paws

As Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI’s executive vice president puts it, “There are hotel for dogs, massages for dogs- why not nail polish for dogs?” With September 21-27 recognized as National Dog Week, OPI jumped in and promoted “Pawlish” nail polish for dogs. There is a wide variety of colors to chose from that will match your furry child's accessories. The product is quick drying, non-toxic, and thick; the company also offers “It’s Dog Gone! Pawlish Remover” and “Paw Pads Wipes” for when the polish chips or your pet changes their mind.

Not a Favorite

Not everyone is on board with the idea, PETA and cat owners had their fair share of opinions about the Pawlish product line. One lady in Long Island, Cristina Barden has a strong feeling about polishing your pet's nails, “That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of.” Regardless of what the haters are saying, the company sets it eye on Hollywood and is launching an event in November with Much Love Animal Charity- which has a long list of celebrity donors.

Board and Groom

Now, while sending your pet to the groomers to get a pet-i-cure isn’t a new trend, it's good to know OPI has come up with a safe pawlish for our furry animals.
