While you already know that regular trips to Paragon for bathing and brushing can help the condition of your pet's coat, there are other things you can do at home that will also do wonders for your pet.

Avoid Corn

Allergies can often be the cause of a dull coat.  Try replacing your dog's food and treats with products that are made with more protein, fruit, and vegetables.

Olive Oil

It's good for Fido, too!  A teaspoon of olive oil added to one of your dog's daily meals will help to make his coat glossy and will also help strengthen his nails.

Don't Forget to Brush!

Spend a little time each day brushing your pet.  He'll love it and it will make a real difference in how his coat looks and feels.

Spring fever is alive and well in our neighborhoods!  As we get back out into the world after a long winter, we resume one of our favorite activities - the long outdoor walk.  Here are some tips to help make your walks more fun and enjoyable for both you and your pet. 

Start Slow

After a few months inside, we may need a little "warm up" before we get back into our walking routine.  Take a few shorter walk at first, just to make sure your pet is healthy enough for renewed activity. 

A Manicure Wouldn't Hurt 

Keep your dog's nails trimmed so that they don't "click" when she walks.  When nails get too long, they are difficult and uncomfortable to walk on - and may even contribute to joint and back pain.  Visit us between grooming appointments for a walk-in nail trimming service.  We can even file her nails to keep them smoother and shorter.

Safety First! 

It's heartbreaking when we get those calls from frightened owners who have a pet that has gotten loose.  The pets are most often found right away and return home tired and unharmed, but until they are safely home, it's agony wondering if they're hurt or worse.  Keeping your pet on a good leash with a properly fitted collar is the simplest thing you can do to help prevent a lost pet.
