CBS Dog Grooming Tips not just for looks either!

At Bow Wow Beauty Shoppe, our motto is, “Humanity before Vanity!” We have actually been asked, “Why do you have to shave the matted clumps of fur off my dog? Can’t we just leave them there?” Many “Newby” dog & cat owners often wonder why they have to spend so much time & money on dog grooming, pet grooming, and cat grooming! Besides the aesthetic satisfaction that comes with grooming, there are real health benefits to keeping your furry babies well groomed!

“Hollywood Madam” adds SEXY to Pet Grooming!

At Bow Wow Beauty Shoppe, we thought our pinup ladies & gents were sexy, but legend “Hollywood Madam” has “out-sexed” us!

From selling sex to selling sexy in the dog hotel & grooming business, Heidi Fleiss opens First Pedigree in Las Vegas, Nevada! Perhaps Heidi can recommend a good “stud” for our little Furry Diva Frida? Might come in handy when her stuffed animal, “Big Daddy” just isn’t providing the excitement they once shared!

Does your Pooch love big balls?

Bow Wow Beauty: Frida certainly loves the type of marble beach balls for sale in the toy isle.

Got Fleas?

Spring, Summer or any day in which the beautiful SoCal sun decides to make a sudden appearance (even in Winter) can create the perfect opportunity for dormant fleas and ticks to suddenly appear.

The following article was in last months issue of Whole Dog Journal:

In late February, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a report about two people who live in the same home in Lake County, Oregon, who were diagnosed with bubonic plague – the only two cases of the disease in the United States in 2010. Because bubonic plague is so rare in the U.S. – and potentially deadly – the victim’s county and state health departments, as well as the CDC, all participated in investigating how the patients contracted the illness. Eventually, all fingers pointed at a third member of the household: the family dog. More specifically, fleas on the family dog.
