about

Dealing with high grooming monthly bills and the stress it causes your dog at the groomer's can be quite frustrating. If you've ever felt unsure about how to properly groom your dog at home, you're not alone. Many owners face these challenges, but proper grooming is crucial—it prevents excessive shedding, skin irritation, painful hair mats, and overgrown toenails, which can lead to more serious health issues.

I have really enjoyed comparing all the presenters do's and don'ts ha ha! What I love most is that they all say to feed a fresh food diet! I have been feeding raw for over 6 years, sparked by my breeder of my first Boerboel. I could never go back to feeding kibble! The amount of information in this gut series is incredible! I have learned a few new things that I will definitely be incorporating into my dog's daily meals while reducing the supplementation or finding those nutrients in other foods I hadn't thought of before. My overall favorite was Matt Rowe! I love how he said to turn off your electronics and pay attention to what he had to say. I get so distracted trying to listen and read other items that I get distracted! So that was very helpful for me! Thank you so much! I'm thanking my holistic vet for sending me the link! :) Everyone that has a dog!!!! I would recommend it to my hairdresser and have shared it with her already!
