De-shedding Treatment for Double Coated Breeds
Often clients request that their double coated dog be shaved for the summer thinking that it will keep them cooler. Although shaving is a common practice in many grooming salons, it is controversial. For one it may ruin the coat and the coat may never grow back to what it used to be. The dog’s skin can easily sun burn because the guard hair that was protecting the skin is not there any more. De-shedding however, is an excellent and safe practice in which the undercoat is removed and the guard hair remains providing insulation to the dog’s skin and protecting it from potential melanoma. Double coated breeds are Poms, Huskies, Samoyeds, Collies, Shelties, Akitas and, of course, some mixed breeds. Look at the undercoat…
We offer a puppy package! So what’s in it?
When a puppy comes in for grooming for the very first time at Posh Paws, we introduce her to grooming gradually.

Why Should I groom my cat?
This topic is important to address since many owners believe that cats do not need grooming because they groom themselves. Lets look into this in details. Cats are greasy creatures. When you run your hands on a cat’s coat that has never been groomed, do you get the urge to want to wash your hands? Well, that’s grease!! Grease when left on the coat can lead to dander, dandruff, mats and even leave a cat’s coat pelted. While your cat is licking itself (this process is often confused with a professional grooming process) the saliva from the cat’s mouth is being deposited on the cat’s coat. The saliva contains an allergin to which a lot of people are allergic to. Thus comes the saying, “I’m…
