The mission of Paws & Relax is to help owners, their pets and fellow pet groomers by providing education, resources, services and products to nurture body, mind and spirit. New videos every week!
I also talk to the dogs a lot, give them nick names, sing to them while I’m bathing them. I laughed when you mentioned your phone client contacts. I do the same thing! I have most of my contacts saved as the dogs name and not the owner. I also have a picture of the dog as the contact picture 😄. I struggle to remember the owners names because of this.

I can relate. I am a Pet Stylist/Groomer as well. And because my hair was breaking off in the back. I did not know what to do with it. I finally came to realize it needed to be cut for healthy new growth. I decided to try an Afro. I am African- American. I prayed and asked for guidance from God my Heavenly Father. And with the little stains of long hair I had left(relaxed hair) and 2 inches of new growth of unpermed hair he said you can shape it like you do a Poodles topknot! It turned out perfect! He reminded me I already had scissoring skills from grooming.😂

How do you keep shampoos and conditioners warm or how do you warm them up? The only solution that has worked for me is to add hot water to cold shampoo or conditioner to warm it up. Do you have a better solution?

Dog groomer here! Most people don’t have the best control over their dog on a retractable leash! During check-in they’re not locked on a safe length. (Unsafe would be past 3 feet from their owner where they could easily get close to other dogs who may not be dog friendly) That’s usually exactly what happens when we’re discussing the appointment details and their dog is behind them half way out the store! I think they’re okay for small dogs. Medium and Big dogs I think are much better on non retractable.

It comes down to responsible breeding. Plus how much purchasing power is in the environment. They are popular for a reason. They are smart. Mostly hypoallergenic. Good with childen. Medium energy. I've trained harder dogs. And helped my aunt with her doodle. They are amazing dogs. The main issue is with breeding.

I have seen your videos. Your videos are really amazing! Your video deserves more views, Links, and Comments. But you are not getting what you deserve. Do you know why? You have some issues. As like: 1. You have not keyword research 2. You have not SEO your video title, and descriptions. 3. You have not your competitor's analysis result. And more issues. If you want to know more. I will help you. Thanks.

Hi Savannah from Nova Scotia, I had to respond after seeing your video as I think what worked for my dog will also work for Gracie. Briefly, 3 or 4 days after being in Vetmedin, Willa ( my then 13 yr old Jack Russell) started peeing in my bed and inside. I thought about the drug acting as a diuretic for her heart, so it kind of made sense. Then wondered what other things might be contributing to this. I knew for me that after eating potato chips or any other salty food, I had more trips to the washroom. I started researching salt content in her food, treats and then other brands, but they all had quite a bit of sodium - and the vet brands were expensive and didn’t have much substance. I remembered Hilary Watson’s book Complete & Balanced which is a recipe book for Dogs (I think she has one for cats too) and you can get the companion supplement that you stir into the cooked recipes. It is brilliant, and within 3 days, Willa had no more accidents inside. I always gave her her pills rolled in a thin piece of Walmart Swiss cheese slice with another little piece as a chaser (my vet said that was ok) and it has far less salt than other cheeses. The food I make her has no salt. Her energy level has returned, she’ll be 15 in December and she’s a different dog. I’d be happy to share pics of recipes and the product with you privately if you like. I’m not sure how to do it here. Just let me know- it’s been a game-changer. Best to you and your family , Jan

Very scary reading this. I used a mobile groomer once here in Florida and generator overheated. She grooms my two dogs one after another with a Honda 7000. Heat index is 199 degrees. I believe I will go back to taking my two dogs to a grooming business and stop the mobile groomer. Two dogs take over two hours and too much stress on the generator as well as myself. I am done

Another thing to be clear about is what type of poodle is in the crossbreed. A standard poodle means it will be the size of a small pony which is A LOT of grooming!
