I love winter. Believe it or not, it's one of my favorite seasons. That's probably because of my childhood growing up in Connecticut and the Hudson Valley of New York. I remember winter as a wonderful time of deep snow, sledding, skating on lake ice, tobogganing, snow sculptures, snowball fights, and more. |

As the title states, the annual flea infestation is on the wane. Lately, we've only had one or two dogs, per day, come in with fleas. That's a remarkable improvement over the 50% to 70% rate we sometimes hit during August to October. Even though we make more money when dogs or cats have fleas, I have to admit I'm very glad that we're seeing fewer fleas. After all, they are parasites, and if left untreated, can spiral out of control and seriously impact, even kill, your pet. |

Unequivocally, yes! For several reasons, the grooming business takes a nosedive during the winter. The number one reason (in my opinion) is the reluctance of most dog owners to get their dog's hair shaved off during the cold weather. Unfortunately for us, not only does this mean a drop in business, but come Spring, we are overrun by overgrown dogs. During the Spring and Summer months, most of our clients like the "Summer Cut"...basically, a very low haircut on the body and legs of their dogs. |
