Happy Dog After Grooming

As any dog or cat owner who uses a groomer will tell you, your furry friends are happier when groomed regularly. But did you know that regularly groomed animals typically live longer, healthier lives, too? Well, they do, something that Pawlished Pets owner Jessica Schmuck has seen firsthand.

As the owner/operator of a busy Penticton pet grooming business, Jessica cares for a great deal of dogs and cats. Over the 15+ years that she has been caring for animals, she has been able to build long-term relationships with her many furry clients. She has personally seen that pets with regular grooming schedules are happier and healthier, and there is scientific proof of that, too.

Regular Grooming Leads to Pets With Longer, Healthier Lives

From veterinarians at the National Library of Medicine or with VCA Canada, the experts have long known that the benefits of having a regular schedule of grooming leads to longer and happier lives for pets. Of course, Jessica and her team at Polished Pets see the positive results firsthand. When owners bring their animals into Pawlished Pets for regular grooming, Jessica and her team can ensure some essential needs are met. Things like allowing an animal's skin to breathe properly by removing dirt, dander, and excess/loose fur. Temperature regulation is another big one; overheating can lead to stress-induced illnesses.

Jessica comments that early detection of potential health concerns is another reason pets with regular grooming are healthier. Professional groomers like those at Pawlished Pets in Penticton are skilled at spotting potential health concerns, too. When they detect irregularities in an animal's coat, skin, or teeth, it can permit early intervention of potentially problematic issues. When an animal is on a regular grooming schedule, it is easier for groomers to find abnormalities, directing a pet owner's attention to things that they may have missed.

While day-to-day grooming of your pet yourself is still important, the professionals at Pawlished Pets in Penticton, BC have the special skills, products, and tools to make that grooming far easier — especially for larger breeds. For example, Jessica has invested in a special hydraulic lift for dogs, allowing the groomers to take care of large breeds with ease.

This time of year, there is another obvious place that groomers can make a big difference in a pet's health and wellbeing: spotting and removing ticks and fleas. These pests can be especially bad in the months when the grass is getting longer, and temperatures start to dip at night. More than just irritating your pet, ticks and fleas also pose health risks in the diseases they can carry. A regular grooming schedule with professional groomers such as Pawlished Pets ensures that those pests are prevented - or caught before they become a concern. It is no secret that itchiness leads to irritability, and the groomers at Pawlished Pets can help keep your pet happy and healthy.

Pawlished Pets offers something else that may help maintain your pet's health and happiness: socialization. "We allow our dog clients to socialize," says Jessica. "And you will be astounded by how well they get along." Kennels are provided for those who prefer their own space, but often the dogs prefer to play together while they wait for their turn.

While the dogs may benefit more from socialization than the feline clients at Pawlished Pets, cat grooming can be just as important. Long-haired breeds especially, Jessica notes, as they are more prone to tangling, matting, and pests like ticks or fleas. "Cats can be a bit difficult," Jessica says. “But we still love the challenge of grooming them. Just like the dogs, the benefits for the cats are tremendous. Not only do they look great, but they are healthier and happier, too.”

To set up an appointment with Jessica and her team, you can reach them on the Pawlished Pets website or directly at 250-493-1040. The clinic is located at #108 - 1505 Main Street, Penticton, BC.
