Just wondering what is everyone going to do for there clients. I have a few ideas but nothing concrete. We do the bows/bandannas of course, been toying with the idea of doing holiday photos this year. But i did hear of a groomer giving her cliens pet passports, anyone ever hear of these?

Can't wait to hear what others are going to do....]]></description>

			<description>So this year i'm thinking of entering the local christmas parade. THe theme is &quot;the magic of christmas&quot; I've been doing some brainstorming, but this theme has stumped me.



If i don't have to follow a theme this is what i have thought of doing:

Ask some of my clients if they want to walk there pets in the parade.

Team up with a local pet treat lady who makes them and hand them out to people.

I have been looking into getting an inflatable for my truck or trailer (anyone know  ...</description>

			<description>We brought home our first born (a boy) 2 weeks ago. The cats have adjusted fine, but I'm a bit worried about the dog. She's 11 1/2 years old, and I can't tell if she's jealous or protective of the baby. Whenever he cries, she'll go lie in front of his crib, but will move when we go to tend to him. She seems reluctant to leave me, regardless of if I have the baby with me or not. She'll stay around the stroller when he's in it but doesn't like walking beside it.



She wanders around, panting,  ...</description>

			<description>My husband owns and runs a comic book store. Free Comic Book Day is this coming Saturday. It's a promotional day for comic book stores in which they give out free comic books (specially designated &amp; shipped for just this event) to help drum up business for the industry. Seeing as we're a dual business house, we thought it would be a great time to do some cross-promotion for my new salon. So the idea is that we'll print up a sign, saying something like &quot;coming soon: a new grooming salon  ...</description>

			<title>Looking for a groomer in Stoney Creek mountain.</title>
			<link>http://canadianpetgroomers.forumotion.com/miscellaneous-f7/looking-for-a-groomer-in-stoney-creek-mountain-t259.htm</link>
			<dc:creator>boxerboy</dc:creator>
			<description>I was wondering if anyone could recommend a groomer in the Stoney Creek mountain/Binbrook area near Hamilton, Ontario.  



My sister just got a &quot;Morkie&quot; (I think that is what it is called), a cross between a Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier.



I wish she had called me first before she got the puppy, I might have steered her in a different direction.  I told her she better find a groomer soon, as this breed could potentially have a very difficult coat to work with.



Thanks. </description>

The lady is from pickering, she had nothing good to say about a friends salon. She said her &quot;14&quot; year old dog was being groomed, and when she brought it home it died an hour later. She had a lot of other mean things to say, but she is basically slandering my friends  ...</description>

			<description>I'm not sure if any of you know about this, but the ospca now has a spay/neuter clinic. It is located at woodbine and davis. I just got my adult female spayed for $125, including her DHPP, hernia removed, microchipping. The cost of a spay is $80 and i believe a neuter is $60, they do cats too, i think its $50 for a cat neuter, not sure about spay. 

It took me about a month to get  a return phonecall, and  3 months to get an appointment, but well worth the wait. I hope someone else can benefit  ...</description>

			<description>I've been doing some thinking, and i'm baffled. Why does someone who doens't know the first thing about grooming, buy a grooming salon? I couldn't imagine owning one and not grooming or know anything about it. I know of two in my area who are owned by non groomer, one is actually a librarian (she isn't even there usually), and one does run the other shop, answering phones etc. Neither seem to be doing very well, and one is for sale. So why why why would someone want to buy one? Is it because  ...</description>

Anyway I gave her some hair, I should start selling it could make a killing!! LOL!!</description>

I had to shave the dog all over with a #7 and to boot, I cut his ear.  I have never cut a dog's ear before.  I was shaking so hard, I didn't think I could finish the  ...</description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm trying to decide if it is worthwhile for me to take photos of my clients pets. Does anyone else do this and do they find it worth their time? What kind of camera and printer do you use, and would you reccomend them?
<br />
I find that my digital camera has a pause before it captures the picture, which is soooo annoying because dogs love to move!!!!]]></description>

			<description>Has anyone ever hear of Fox Mites?  I had a customer call to make an appointment and after we had scheduled it she says after the last groom (4-5 months ago) he had a nick which wouldn't heal, then he got 'fox mites' in that area? 



I REALLY hate when customers tell you months later about something that susposedly happened.  I'm totally open with customers and if something were to happen with their dog while with me I always point it out, so I know I didn't nick him.  He was a 7 AO because  ...</description>

			<description>Why, oh why, do dog owners let their dogs go for months and months, getting more and more matted, then suddenly when the weather is at the coldest they decide NOW is the time for their dog to get groomed, which means getting shaved.  THEN they are sooooo concerned that their dog will be cold.  You think?



Yes, I had one of these yesterday and the lady was so worried her dog would be cold.  I wanted to shake her and say &quot;If you brought your dog in at the 6 weeks point (which would have  ...</description>

			<description>For those of you in southern Ontario, you might be interested in this idea. I have come up with an excuse to do a craft day among us groomers. By crafts i mean, dog/client related items, for example: Stiff Top Knot bows, Collar Bows, Bow Ties, Bandannas that attach to the collar, dog clothes. Simple ideas that will add that special touch to our clients.  I had also thought that maybe we could do a colouring demonstration too, but from the looks of things, we may not need to as there are loads  ...</description>

			<description>Has anyone else had to groom a dog to the &quot;specific&quot; likings of the owner, and the dog looks embarassed afterward? The shitzu seemed very humiliated after being completely shaved down. Personally, I hate doing that to shitzu's because I find they look so long and funny after! I would prefer to leave the head a little longer and the tail!!</description>

Welcome to our salon. The following are some

suggestions of how to make things easier for you and

more interesting for our staff. As you have already

figured out, your scheduled appointment time is just a

suggestion. Feel free to ignore it and do as you

He has never done it before at least I have never seen him. Can I possible add something to his food or just make sure that I am outside with him? I have &quot;bitter apple&quot; spray. Would that help? Thanks!]]></description>

I should have brough a towel, because it had a nice beach and we could have gone swimming - next time we will!  I plan on going out again.  I want to try it a few times before buying a kayak.
