Were We Always Supposed to Brush Our Dogs’ Teeth?

Were We Always Supposed to Brush Our Dogs’ Teeth?

The finger-fitted dog toothbrush, if you aren’t aware, is a plastic tube worn over the human index finger, used to, supposedly easily, brush dogs’ teeth. One variation looks like the genitals of a sea creature. Another looks like the plasticky head of a tiny, bristle-faced scuba diver. I recently spotted one such brush (of the […]

Hey! I just had a wisdom tooth removal surgery and it got me thinking, what would a Bucky x Reader be like if she were to have that surgery? I imagine the Reader would be extremely loopy 😅🥲

Have fun with this x

Loopy

Warnings: None, just fluff!

The mission to extract your wisdom teeth wasn’t exactly Hydra-level in terms of danger, but in your world, it might as well have been. Dental anxiety was no joke. Bucky Barnes, your boyfriend and ever-reliable partner in life, had promised to stick by you through it all. His assurances had included phrases like, “I’ll take care of you, Doll,” and, “We’ll get through this together,” whispered with the same conviction he used during tactical planning.

He really had no idea what he was signing up for.

The morning of the surgery, Bucky was already at your side, helping you into a comfy hoodie and making sure your favorite blanket was in the car. You were anxious, bouncing your leg as he drove you to the oral surgeon’s office.

“Doll,” he said softly, reaching over to place his vibranium hand over your jittery one, “it’s just a routine thing. You’ll be in and out before you know it.”

You nodded but muttered, “Easy for you to say. You don’t have someone coming at you with sharp instruments.”

“Sweetheart, I used to be the sharp instrument.”

You glared at him, but the corner of his mouth twitched, and soon you were laughing despite yourself. He parked the car and helped you inside, his presence grounding you as much as it could.

🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷

The surgery itself was a blur. One minute, the nurse was inserting an IV, and the next, you were groggily waking up with cotton stuffed in your mouth and a vague sense of accomplishment, as though you’d just conquered something monumental.

And then the anesthesia hit in full force.

“Bucky,” you slurred, squinting at his face as he crouched down to help you into the car. “Did you know… you’re hot?”

Bucky froze mid-movement, his lips twitching as he tried not to laugh. “Thanks, Doll. Glad you think so.”

“No, no,” you insisted, poking his cheek with a wobbly finger. “Like, really hot. Like… like the sun. You’re like the sun, Buckyyy.”

“Alright, let’s get you in the car before you start writing me poetry,” he said, lifting you easily into the passenger seat. He buckled you in as you pouted at him.

“You’re my sun,” you mumbled dreamily, head lolling back against the seat.

“And you’re my moon,” he replied, brushing a strand of hair from your face.

You gasped suddenly, eyes wide. “Does that make us… a solar eclipse?”

Bucky snorted so loudly he startled himself. “Sure, Doll. We’re a solar eclipse.”

🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷

By the time he got you settled into the car, it was clear the anesthesia had taken full control. Your head lolled against the headrest, and your eyes flitted about as though you were seeing the world for the first time. Every mundane thing became an epic discovery.

“Oh my God, Bucky!” you gasped, pointing out the window with the urgency of someone spotting a UFO. “Look! A dog!”

He smiled. “Yeah, Doll, I see it.”

You turned to him, deadly serious. “Do you think it knows how to drive?”

He blinked, caught between wanting to laugh and wondering if he should be concerned. “I don’t think so, sweetheart.”

“Well, it should. Dogs deserve to drive. They’ve been walking for centuries. It’s not fair.”

“Right, I’ll bring it up at the next town hall meeting,” he deadpanned, eyes flicking back to the road.

“You’d better. I’ll be your campaign manager. ‘Vote for Bucky: The Man Who Fights for Canine Vac-….vehic-ic-ular Rights.’”

A snort escaped him before he could stop it. “Canine vehicular rights, huh?”

You nodded sagely. “That dog was a visionary. It was staring at me like it understood my soul.”

“It was eating grass, Doll.”

“It’s a genius. You just don’t get it.”

He didn’t reply, too busy biting the inside of his cheek to keep from outright laughing, but you weren’t done.

“Wait! Another dog! Hi, doggy!” you shouted, waving energetically at a blur of fur as the car sped past. “Did you see it, Bucky? Did you?”

“Yes, Doll, I saw it.”

“Do you think they’re friends? Like, maybe they meet up on weekends and play poker or something.”

“I’m sure they do, Doll. High-stakes poker games behind the gas station.”

“YES!” you shouted triumphantly, pumping your fist. “I knew it. Dogs are so organized.”

You fell quiet for a moment, which Bucky foolishly thought might mean the conversation was over. But then your head turned toward him, eyes wide with wonder.

“Do you think I could join their poker club?”

“Doll, you don’t know how to play poker.”

You hummed. “Neither do the dogs, James. It’s about the vibes.”

At that point, Bucky had to pull over because he was laughing so hard he could barely keep his hands steady on the wheel. His shoulders shook as he rested his forehead against the steering wheel, while you looked at him in confusion.

“What’s so funny?” you asked innocently, chewing on a piece of gauze. “This is serious business. Dogs are the backbone of society, Bucky. You wouldn’t even have your arm without them.”

His head shot up, tears of laughter streaming down his face. “What does that even mean?”

“You know exactly what it means,” you huffed, crossing your arms and turning to stare out the window, your cheeks puffed with righteous indignation and gauze.

Endlessly entertained, Bucky got the car moving again, but not without a few parting words from you:

“I’m gonna start a revolution,” you declared. “Dogs n’ cars. Dogs n’ hats. Dogs running for Congress. Buckle up. I am changing the world.”

“Whatever you say, Doll,” he murmured, grinning to himself. “Whatever you say.”

🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷

By the time he got you home, you’d become fascinated by his metal arm.

“Bucky, can I touch it?” you asked, staring at it like it was the eighth wonder of the world.

“You touch it all the time, Doll.”

“Yeah, but now I’m different. I’m wiser.”

“That’s not how wisdom teeth work, my love.”

Ignoring him, you grabbed his arm with both hands, marveling at the coolness of the vibranium. “You’re like a Transformer. Can you transform into a car? I bet you can. Why didn’t you tell me?”

“No.”

“A plane?”

“No, Doll.”

“A toaster?”

“Why would I transform into a toaster?”

“For toast, obviously.” You rolled your eyes as though it were the most obvious answer in the world.

Bucky let out a long-suffering sigh, but the twitching corners of his mouth betrayed his amusement.

🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷

The pinnacle of the day’s chaos came when you decided to take inventory of your cheeks in the bathroom mirror.

“They’re so big!” you exclaimed, poking at your swollen face. “I look like a chipmunk. Bucky, do you think Steve would still let me join the Avengers like this?”

Bucky leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed and a smirk on his lips. “Absolutely. You’d be the most adorable Avenger.”

“Adorable?” you repeated, narrowing your eyes at him in offense. “I am feracious.”

“Ferocious? Sure you are, Doll.”

“Wanna see?” You suddenly bared your teeth—or rather, the cotton-filled abyss of your mouth—and growled, which sounded more like a muffled gargle.

Bucky laughed so hard he had to sit on the edge of the bathtub.

🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷

The rest of the day was a blur of Netflix, popsicles, and increasingly ridiculous questions.

“If you could be any animal, what would you be?” you asked at one point, sprawled out on the couch with an ice pack on your face.

“A wolf,” he answered without hesitation. “What about you?”

You thought about it for a long moment before declaring, “A jellyfish.”

Bucky raised an eyebrow. “A jellyfish?”

“Yeah. They’re squishy and floaty. Like me right now.”

He shook his head, chuckling. “You’re something else, Doll.”

You blinked up at him, your expression shifting into one of profound seriousness. “Do you think cats have secret jobs?”

Bucky paused mid-sip of his coffee. “Secret jobs?”

“Yeah,” you whispered conspiratorially, as if the walls might have ears. “Like… maybe they’re spies. Or accountants. Or both.”

“Spies and accountants?” he repeated, raising an eyebrow.

“Think about it, Bucky. Cats are always watching. Sitting in windows, judging everyone, like, ‘Oh, Jerry didn’t pay his taxes again.’ You ever wonder why they knock stuff off tables? They’re sending messages.”

“To who?” he asked, genuinely curious now, because he couldn’t figure out how your brain had arrived at this.

“To their bosses! The ones running the underground cat syndicate!” you exclaimed, throwing your hands in the air like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Bucky’s lips quirked up in a grin. “And what exactly do these bosses do with the info?”

You leaned closer, your voice dropping to a hushed tone. “They’re buying lasers. And tuna. The expensive kind.”

Bucky burst out laughing, his head tipping back as you nodded solemnly at your own revelation.

“They’re probably watching us right now,” you added, side-eyeing a patch of empty space on the couch. “Act normal, James. Normal.”

🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷

By the time the anesthesia fully wore off and you were back to your usual self, Bucky had compiled an impressive list of your antics to tease you with.

“You told me I was a Transformer,” he reminded you later that evening, a mischievous glint in his eye. “And that I should transform into a toaster.”

Your groan was muffled by the pillow you’d shoved your face into. “Oh my God, stop.”

“Never,” he promised, pulling you into his arms. “You were the cutest little loopy chipmunk I’ve ever seen.”

Despite your embarrassment, you couldn’t help but laugh. With Bucky by your side, even the most ridiculous days were unforgettable…

Going on a Trip

Summary: Set in a Modern AU. Ever since that pregnancy test came back positive, Astrid's been a little overprotective.

Warnings: Pregnancy

Rating: General

Dead Dove: No

Words: 1 002

Fandom: How to Train Your Dragon

Characters: Hiccup, Astrid

Pairing: Hiccstrid

Author's Notes: So fun fact: in Dutch/Flemish we have the saying "zoals een kip zonder kop!" Which basically means doing something without thinking and often in a nonsensical way.

Posting something a little lighter after the Dead Dove fic I just posted. 😇

I got the inspiration for this fic because I went to a zoo last Monday and there are always without fail families with very small children (literally ages 0 to 10, I saw two mothers with literal 1 to 3 month olds in slings) or a pregnant partner. And since I was taking requests for this Pregcup series, I had to write it, of course.

Also wondering just how many people are going to click on this fic thinking it's a Pregstrid fic despite the tags and the series I'm putting this in.

Enjoy!

-XOXOX-

“And you’re sure you have everything you need?”

“Yep, 100%!”

“But you’re sure? You got a bottle of water? Bottle of coke to keep your sugar levels up? Made your sandwiches?”

“Well, no, you made them because you’re scared I’ll go hungry for an hour. But anyway, yes and yes and you stuffed my bag full with literally every sugary thing we have in the house. If our doctor knew, she would get a heart attack.”

“You got your pain killers for your leg? Your migraine meds? Are you sure we shouldn’t take an extra bottle of-”

“Astrid, please!”

Hiccup grabs her hands and puts a stop to her pacing. They’re in the kitchen and she’s holding onto the strap of his shoulder bag, running around with it like a headless chicken. They’re leaving for a trip today, a trip to the zoo because living amongst dragons doesn’t mean they don’t still appreciate or are even fascinated by the other countless of creatures they share their amazing planet with. The entire group is going, the dragons get a day off for once.

Much to Toothless’ dismay.

He would much rather come along, but zoos are going through the trouble of keeping dragons out. So if they were to bring one in, they wouldn’t exactly be welcome.

“We made a list yesterday, we got everything ready before bed and you woke up extra early to make sure I wouldn’t be going hungry today. We’re ready to leave,” he assures her and Astrid relieves herself with a sigh. Because he’s right, they’re ready.

She looks down at their joined hands and smiles, his thumbs stroking the back of her fingers. This is before her gaze falls further down and finds the reason why she’s so concerned. Her husband is about five months pregnant.

They knew from the start that they wanted to have kids and after some time spend talking about it in which they both agreed Hiccup would carry their first, they went ahead and found success rather quickly. But ever since that pregnancy test came back positive, she’s been a little bit overprotective. And Hiccup thought it was annoying at first, he has already spend his entire childhood with an overprotective father. But in his fifth month, he both understands it and even appreciates it.

Because while his morning sickness was at its worst, she, Toothless and Sharpshot made sure he didn’t need to leave the bed for anything other than to go to the bathroom. She muttered sweet nothings in his ear when his moodswings appeared. There is this one commercial about these doggy treats that are meant to be good for their dental hygiene and every single time he watches it, he cries without fail. Something about them having good dental hygiene just gets to him. This coming from a dragon and cat person.

The other side of this is that Snotlout is no longer allowed to eat at their place, Hiccup can no longer stand his eating habits. Then there were his cravings, which she gets up for in the middle of the night just to take care of. Astrid has been so understanding and supportive, he figured that the least he could do was return the favor.

“You’re right,” Astrid admits. “We’re ready.”

And if it turns out the five sandwiches she made for him aren’t enough, they can always buy an extra snack at the zoo.

-XOXOX-

They took a bus there and now they’re taking that same bus home. It’s from a private company with comfortable cushions, air conditioning and a bathroom. But that first one is the most important to Hiccup in particular, who sits next to Astrid and is just knocked out cold after the tiring day they’ve had. His seat leans back just enough for him without bothering Heather, who sits behind them along with her brother and reads a book.

As he sleeps, Astrid looks through the many pictures on her phone. Between her device and those of all her friends, they probably have hundreds of pictures. Of animals and monuments, some as a joke, of them as a group, split up in duos, selfies… or in her case; her pregnant partner.

Him looking at animals, reading a plaque, watching a family with small children, resting on a bench, taking a picture of something or someone else, in the souvenirship, she even has one of him eating. This man could do nothing without giving her some reason to take out her phone’s camera. Astrid is certain he has a picture of her taking one of him.

Because he’s tall and skinny, his bump isn’t all that big yet, which is a slight disappointment that Astrid will not share. Although it is probably better for his back, which already suffers from being a lower leg amputee. At the same time, he started showing a little earlier than normal, which she thought was a blessing. She loves his belly and she loves seeing it in pictures. He’s growing their first child!

Glancing at it now, she can’t help but smile and places a hand on it, her thumb stroking through the t-shirt he wears. He did end up eating all five of those sandwiches.

All of them are sunburned. Because while Astrid was so worried about Hiccup going hungry, she completely forgot about the dangers of the sun. They all did. From the corner of her eyes, she spots Ruffnut’s fight not to scratch the itchy redness of her skin, Snotlout looks as bright red as a tomato and the shape of Dagur’s sunglasses have been burned right into his face. Both of the redheads in their group are more sunburned than then rest.

When they finally get home in another hour or two, she is going to lotion hers up from head to toe. And they will probably both enjoy it.

But for the time being, Astrid puts on her music and closes her eyes, her hand still on her husband’s belly.

doggy update. i went to the shelter again yesterday bc after like two weeks of daily checking the dog i wanted had still not been posted up for adoption. he IS still there, his name is Sawyer, and he HAS been neutered (!!!) but I am now waiting for him to get some dental work. I was so scared about that because he has a really fantastic snaggletooth but the guy said it was to take care of some other teeth on his underbite and the snaggletooth will remain. but however it's a low priority dental order and the dentist is only there weekly so it might be ANOTHER week or two until i can try to adopt my dog. it's FIRST COME FIRST SERVE NO RESERVATIONS so i gotta get there early enough the morning after he's posted to make sure nobody else can take my beautiful idiot boy who i love so much from me.

all he wants to do when he sees me is press his whole body against the cage doors to try to lay on me which doesn't work but DOES make me tear up every time. he's my best friend and i would die for him and if anyone else ends up adopting him ill consider violence.

I’m going to chain you naked on all fours behind my garage with a permeant dental gag to hold your jaw open. I’ll train my dogs to hump your face when they need some relief, they won’t mind if you puke all over their knots. I’ll pack your holes with dirty and half decomposed compost from the worm bin, so you can feel the worms wiggling inside you as you suffocate on doggy knot. The neighbors can probably see you, but nobody cares enough to help you escape when they look over and see one dog mounting your face, his cock down your throat and paws digging into your back, and another pissing against your ass. Just the latest cunt getting what it deserves.

NOW THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! yes. lock my jaw open and let your dogs knot my throat. pleaseee use my cunt as your new compost bin for worms to live and breed in, and refuse to let your dogs fuck it because they don't deserve that and neither do I. no pleasure in it for me except what I can manage out of some wriggling little things. a practical tool more than a person at that point 😍

[sretann]

Some big news on my front! I don’t post a whole lot here usually but I am getting a new puppy in April! He’s a long haired chihuahua and will be named Tamagotchi.... He’s a stupidly sweet baby and I absolutely enjoyed meeting him and his breeder recently. This has been something I’ve been planning for ages and now he’s finally going to be a reality! 

He has all his necessary supplies, BUT, I am sharing an amazon wishlist for things because it’s essentially his baby shower. I have the whole month to finish getting ready and I want everything to be as perfect as possible for when he comes home. Most of these are also things that would be handy for my older dog Frisk, as he is aging and needs more help with things like his dental care and joint supplements! But nothing on here is 100% necessary and I will still be buying a lot of these myself at some point in the near future.

>>Click here for the doggie wishlist!<<

No one is obligated to buy anything of course! I just also want to share the excitement and joy I feel about my new dog.

GALTx eNews: Keep Those Smiles Bright!

February is National Pet Dental Health Month and a great time to give some thought to the importance of dental health for your hound. Poor dental health can lead to pain, weight loss, loss of teeth, and systemic health issues that can shorten your dog’s lifespan, so it's worth serious consideration.

If you are not brushing your dog’s teeth daily, start a routine today. With a resistant dog, you can begin by massaging the teeth and gums from the outside, gently rubbing the snout. Follow up with a yummy treat as a reward. Work up to using a doggie toothbrush with doggie toothpaste gradually over days or maybe even weeks. Doing something is always better than doing nothing. Be sure to persist even if you think you are not doing a great job. You'll both get better at it.

Remember to never use human toothpaste as it contains ingredients bad for dogs and be careful about relying on treats to clean your dog’s teeth. Treats that are safe probably aren’t going to be sufficient for a Greyhound’s dental needs. And raw turkey necks, chicken feet, or goose feet aren’t all that safe as they can contain harmful bacteria such as salmonella when not properly cooked and can pose the risk of intestinal blockage. Please be sure anything you give your hounds is vet approved!

The next time you are in to see the vet, be sure to ask whether your pup needs a dental, and if they say yes, schedule it. Make this the month you start a safe and effective dental routine to keep your hound’s smile bright and breath fresh!

11 Everyday Habits That Could Hurt Your Dog

As dog owners, we all strive to provide the best care for our furry friends. However, some everyday habits, no matter how well-intentioned, could potentially harm our dogs. Understanding these habits can help ensure our pets lead happy and healthy lives. Let's explore eleven common practices that might be hurting your dog without you even realizing it.

1. Feeding Table Scraps

While sharing your meal with your dog might seem harmless, many human foods are not safe for dogs. Foods like chocolate, onions, garlic, and certain spices can be toxic. Even fatty foods can lead to pancreatitis. It's best to stick to dog-specific treats and food.

2. Skipping Regular Vet Visits

Regular veterinary check-ups are crucial for detecting and preventing health issues. Skipping these visits can lead to undiagnosed illnesses or conditions, which could worsen over time. Ensure your dog gets an annual check-up and stays up-to-date on vaccinations.

3. Not Providing Enough Exercise

Lack of exercise can lead to obesity, behavioral issues, and health problems like joint pain and heart disease. Different breeds have different exercise needs, so make sure your dog gets enough physical activity to stay healthy and happy.

4. Neglecting Dental Care

Oral hygiene is just as important for dogs as it is for humans. Neglecting your dog's teeth can lead to gum disease, tooth loss, and other serious health problems. Regular brushing and providing dental chews can help maintain their dental health.

5. Using Harsh Training Methods

Using negative reinforcement or punishment during training can cause anxiety and fear in dogs. Positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise, is a more effective and humane approach. Building trust through positive interactions strengthens your bond with your dog.

6. Leaving Your Dog Alone for Long Periods

Dogs are social animals and need companionship. Leaving them alone for extended periods can lead to separation anxiety, destructive behavior, and depression. If you have a busy schedule, consider doggy daycare or hiring a dog walker.

7. Ignoring Early Signs of Illness

Dogs can't tell us when they're feeling unwell, so it's important to pay attention to changes in their behavior, appetite, and energy levels. Ignoring early signs of illness can lead to more serious health issues. Always consult your vet if something seems off.

8. Overfeeding Treats

While treats are great for training and rewarding good behavior, overfeeding can lead to obesity and related health problems. Make sure treats make up no more than 10% of your dog's daily caloric intake.

9. Not Socializing Your Dog

Socialization is key to a well-behaved and happy dog. Introducing your dog to new people, animals, and environments helps prevent fear and aggression. Make socialization a regular part of your dog's routine.

10. Using Unsafe Toys and Chews

Not all toys and chews are safe for dogs. Some can break into small pieces, posing a choking hazard, or cause digestive blockages. Always choose durable, non-toxic toys appropriate for your dog's size and chewing habits.

11. Forgetting Parasite Prevention

Parasites like fleas, ticks, and worms can cause serious health issues in dogs. Regular parasite prevention, including flea and tick treatments and deworming, is essential to keep your dog healthy and comfortable.

By being aware of these everyday habits, you can make small changes that have a big impact on your dog's well-being. Providing a safe, loving, and healthy environment for your furry friend ensures they lead a long, happy life by your side.

Always consult your veterinarian for advice specific to your dog's needs and health. Being a responsible pet owner means continually learning and adapting to provide the best care possible.

Doggy day cares in Abu Dhabi often collaborate with pet nutrition experts to develop meal plans. These experts analyze the nutritional content of various foods and create balanced diets that meet the unique needs of each pet. By leveraging the knowledge of nutritionists, doggy day cares provide scientifically-backed meals that support pets' health.

Benefits of Nutritious Meals and Snacks at Doggy Day Care

Enhanced Energy Levels

Pets require adequate energy to engage in daily activities, including playtime, exercise, and social interactions. Nutritious meals and snacks provide the necessary energy to keep pets active and vibrant throughout the day. High-quality proteins and healthy fats are essential components of these meals, ensuring sustained energy levels.

Improved Digestive Health

Balanced diets that include fiber-rich ingredients promote healthy digestion in pets. Doggy day cares in Abu Dhabi incorporate such ingredients into their meals to prevent digestive issues like constipation or diarrhea. A healthy digestive system contributes to overall well-being and comfort for pets.

Healthy Skin and Coat

A pet's skin and coat condition are direct indicators of their overall health. Nutritious meals that include omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids contribute to a shiny, healthy coat and prevent issues like dryness and itching. Doggy day cares in Abu Dhabi ensure that meals are rich in these essential fatty acids, enhancing pets' appearance and comfort.

Stronger Immune System

A well-balanced diet supports a robust immune system, helping pets fend off illnesses and infections. Vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin E, vitamin C, and zinc, play a crucial role in immune health. By providing meals rich in these nutrients, doggy day cares in Abu Dhabi help pets maintain strong immune defenses.

Integrating Pet Grooming Services

The Role of Pet Grooming Salons

In addition to nutritious meals, doggy day cares in Abu Dhabi often integrate pet grooming salon services. Grooming is essential for maintaining pets' hygiene, preventing skin infections, and enhancing their overall appearance. Regular grooming sessions include bathing, brushing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning, contributing to pets' well-being.

Synergy Between Nutrition and Grooming

Nutrition and grooming are closely linked in promoting pets' health. A well-nourished pet has a healthier skin and coat, making grooming easier and more effective. Conversely, regular grooming can help identify any nutritional deficiencies, as issues like dry skin or excessive shedding might indicate dietary imbalances. By combining nutritious meals with grooming services, doggy day cares in Abu Dhabi provide comprehensive care for pets.

Specialized Grooming Products

Pet grooming salons in doggy day cares use specialized products that complement the nutritional care pets receive. These products include shampoos, conditioners, and skin treatments formulated with natural ingredients that support skin health. The synergy between proper nutrition and high-quality grooming products ensures that pets look and feel their best.

Visit the Facility

Visiting the doggy day care facility is crucial to assess the cleanliness, safety, and overall environment. Pay attention to how meals are prepared and stored, and inquire about the qualifications of the staff responsible for meal planning. Ensure that the facility has a clean and well-equipped pet grooming salon.

Ask About Meal Plans

Inquire about the types of meals and snacks provided at the doggy day care. Ask if they offer customized meal plans based on individual dietary needs and if they collaborate with pet nutrition experts. A facility that can provide detailed information about their meal plans demonstrates a commitment to pet health.

Evaluate Grooming Services

Assess the pet grooming salon services offered by the doggy day care. Ensure that the grooming products used are high-quality and suitable for your pet's specific needs. Regular grooming should be part of the care routine, and the staff should be trained in handling pets gently and professionally.
