Pet dental Health: Something to Smile about

By Kathy Hosler
January 31, 2019

Adult dogs have forty two permanent teeth and cats have thirty. Those teeth are implied to last a lifetime. However, just like people, animals can develop dental problems. What does pet dental health have to finish with grooming? Actually, much more than you may think.

Dental disease is very common in the animals we groom. The majority of dogs and cats have some form of periodontal disease by the time they are three years old.

Pets with dental issues can be very challenging to groom. If they have uncomfortable mouths, they may be irritable and not allow you to work around their face or touch their mouth area when you want to work on their head.

Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums caused by a buildup of plaque along the gum line. If it is not removed, tartar begins to form. In time, the tartar builds up and advances under the gum line resulting in periodontal disease. Untreated, periodontal disease can cause receding or bleeding gums, bad breath, and infection or tooth abscesses. It can progress to the point where teeth fall out, and in some cases, results in bone loss to the degree that the jawbone itself can break. Can you think of if that happened to a pet while it was in your care?

And, periodontal disease doesn’t just affect the pet’s mouth, it can also affect the heart and other organs of the body, and possibly shorten the pet’s life expectancy. owners want to take good care of their pets, but some have no clue that their pet ought to be getting regular dental exams and care. They may complain that their pet has bad breath, but they don’t realize there is anything that they can or ought to do about it. numerous of them have never even looked in their pet’s mouth.
Advertisements

Of course you are not a veterinarian, but you can show your client if their pet has tartar buildup on their teeth or if their gums are inflamed. then you can recommend that they go to their veterinarian for a dental exam and cleaning.

We’ve all had animals come into our establishments with major dental problems. If you feel uneasy about safely grooming a pet, refuse the groom and refer them to their veterinarian for treatment. Then, after the issues are resolved, reschedule the groom.

The groomer’s role in pet oral health is helping to educate owners and to offer them with the products and services that promote good dental health. numerous groomers offer the add–on service of teeth brushing. If you do, that’s a terrific place to begin educating the owner about the significance of dental hygiene for their pet.

You probably see their pet multiple times per year on a regular basis. If you notice problems with their pet’s oral health, urge them to take it to their veterinarian for a complete dental evaluation. we all know that pet dental health is not a ‘one time cleaning and it’s good for life’ kind of thing. It’s really vital to educate and encourage all of your pet owners to establish a regimen of at–home oral care for their pets.

This is an opportunity for you to help them and their pets, and at the same time, to retail the products they will need: pet toothbrushes and toothpaste, water additive, breath sprays, dental toys and treats, etc. Ideally, you ought to introduce these products to your clients when their animals are young, before they have dental problems, or just after they have had a veterinary dental cleaning to keep their teeth sparkling and their gums healthy. But, routine oral care can be useful to a cat or canine whenever it begins.

First, owners need to have the best tools for the job. That’s where you can help. show them the different types of soft bristle pet toothbrushes, finger brushes or gauze pads. help them select the one that will be best for their pet. Additionally, sell them toothpaste that is formulated for animals which is typically beef or chicken flavored. tell them to never use their own toothpaste on their pets. numerous human toothpastes have fluoride or xylitol in them which can be life threatening to animals if they consume it.

If you offer teeth brushing, you can show the owner the proper way to brush their pet’s teeth in–between check outs to you. instruct them how to gently lift their pet’s lip and thoroughly clean the teeth. Patience and gentleness are the essential to success in brushing. Some animals will not accept tooth brushing, but there are other ways to help avoid and eliminate dental plaque and tartar.

There are gels that can be applied to their pet’s gums. The action of the pet licking the gel will distribute it throughout the mouth and help loosen the accumulated debris. There are additives that can be placed in the pet’s water bowl that will also aid in plaque removal. and there are sprays that help remove plaque and freshen the breath.

Have a large display of dental treats and toys in your retail area. Rope toys promote a flossing action to clean the teeth. other toys thanull

Yochabel’s Wisdom: The Food connection

guest publish by Casey Hersch

This is the third in a series of posts by Casey Hersch. Casey goes over the lots of lessons she discovered about taking care of Yochabel during her illness, including her quest to stop Yochabel’s cancer from growing/spreading, barriers present with senior cats, variations in diet plan including supplements as well as herbs, as well as exactly how to focus on the private cat’s needs. Yochabel was not only Casey’s feline companion. She left Casey with methods to cope with her own illness, as well as with a higher sense of acceptance as well as gratitude.

My woman is a Foodie

It was our very first day together. I was ecstatic as well as anxious at the exact same time, uncertain exactly how Yochabel would change to her new home. As she maneuvered awkwardly in her bed, favoring her ideal side, as well as slowly alleviated herself down into a sitting position, her eyes stayed locked with mine. As I passed by, doing my normal chores, her bit paws had a life of their own as they reached for me, brushing my leg as I walked by. She undoubtedly desired something…

And then it happened. I poured a scoop of kibble into a bowl. She scooted herself out of the bed, tumbling around with her roly-poly body, as well as butt moving her method to the kibble bowl. As she plopped onto her stomach, she spread her legs flat on the floor, cradling her bowl, doing nothing less than a deal with plant. I heard an orchestra of sounds: “Naw, naw, naw, purr, purr, gurgle, gurgle, burp!” This woman is a foodie! Within minutes the entire bowl of food was gone. provided her enthusiasm, I pictured eating was a considerable source of comfort as well as enjoyment in her prior life.

Yochabel was a peaceful cat. during the years we spent together, I can count on one hand the number of times I heard her meow. however at meal time, I might hear her eating from across the house. Yochabel’s enthusiasm for food, as well as her interest towards it, always made me smile. I felt my spirit increase whenever I saw her food performances. She would park herself in the middle of the kitchen area floor, a web traffic hazard, waiting on the minor possibility I would decrease one smidgen of food (or fail to remember I had just fed her). She would stay in one spot, as well as utilized her front legs to spin herself around, protecting her sore hind legs, to see if she might snag the “surprise” food piece. To fit her like for the kitchen, we developed a special “pedestal,” (a carpet covered platform 6 inches off the floor so she might enjoy me without straining her arthritic neck). She sat, risk-free from spills from a hot stove, as well as waited for her yummies. Over time, we had to lower the platform to 3 inches off the floor for safety. When she believed she smelled food, she would suspend all judgment as well as fling herself off her pedestal, realizing only after she discovered the piece of food, that she had body slammed her frail body onto the linoleum. I understand she would have stated it was worth it. Food genuinely was her passion.

Notice your cat’s enthusiasm as well as joy, as well as utilize them for healing

I took note of Yochabel’s enthusiasm for food from day one. This info was important as I cared for her, particularly when she established transitional cell carcinoma (bladder cancer). It is simple with chronic health problem to let it take in one’s life as well as take away all joy. Some illnesses, particularly cancers, decrease appetite. similar to humans, cancer can make our feline companions appear to be “finicky.” nothing seems to be satisfying or tastes good. often we presume they have stopped eating since they are prepared to die, rather than thinking about other reasons. These modifications in tastes as well as preferences can be a result of the cancer (and age), as well as are not within the patient’s control. Nausea, lack of energy, as well as other bodily modifications can all influence appetite. When Yochabel’s appetite as well as tastes changed, I felt that it wasn’t since she wished to stop eating. It was since her body needed something different than what I was using her. just like when my mom provided me poultry soup when I was ill with the flu, I needed to discover Yochabel’s version of poultry soup to assist her eat with the tough times.

Yochabel taught me a series of lessons that improved her health, made her comfortable as well as able to take pleasure in her enthusiasm – food – with her extremely last day. As pointed out in Yochabel’s Wisdom: protecting the Bond, the Healing Wheel includes enthusiasm as one crucial element of healing. I made sure that I nurtured her enthusiasm for food as well as prioritized methods to keep this happiness in her life while supporting her health. Anything that provides us happiness must be broadened (while being mindful of balance).

Change can be harder for feline parents than for the cat

Daisy explores vertical area for cats

AddThis Sharing ButtonsShare to FacebookFacebookFacebookShare to TwitterTwitterTwitterShare to PinterestPinterestPinterestShare to MoreAddThisMore

Do you see the bit smile on my face? It’s since I’m in one of my preferred spots, up high. In situation you didn’t already understand it, vertical area is important for cats. For our wild ancestors, a high location enabled us to getaway predators as well as to survey our area from a risk-free vantage point. domestic cats aren’t restricted to keeping four-on-the-floor, we’re agile as well as able to take advantage of many vertical surfaces. If you have a multi-cat household, having great deals of different vertical areas assists us all get along more peacefully even if you online in a little home. When my sibling Harley won’t stop pestering me, I frequently seek out a lofty area to get away from him. include me as well as inspect out some more of the vertical areas I utilize to get away from everything …

Here’s one of my favorite, a multi-level feline tree! Not only is a feline tree fun to climb as well as scratch on, however it provides a fantastic observation spot. I’m an excellent jumper as well as climber, as well as climbing is great exercise. Look, I’m even higher than the photo on the wall!

Even jumping down can be fun if your house is set up with simple gain access to to different levels. luckily my feline tree is close to the window which assists with bird-viewing as well as enables for an simple dismount. comply with me as well as let’s inspect out some more vertical spaces.

This thing is called an arm-war. I have no concept why it is called that since it’s just a cupboard to hold clothes as well as the TV as well as stuff. Anyway, this thing is truly high! sometimes I hide up right here as well as nobody understands where I am. You can’t see it however there’s a cozy blanket up right here too.

I’m so cozy up here, I believe I’ll just hang out for a while.

The last vertical surface I’m going to show you is the trickiest one: this is the bed canopy. this is narrow like a tightrope, however luckily it’s right over the bed in situation of a fall. I don’t go up there much any type of more, but Harley likes it.

If your own house doesn’t have many easily-accessible vertical surfaces, do not worry! You can get something like these fine-tuned Feline feline Cloud shelves as well as put them almost anywhere in your home! They are available in different colors as well as in a left- or right-facing style to in shape almost any type of décor.

Leo begs

AddThis Sharing ButtonsShare to FacebookFacebookFacebookShare to TwitterTwitterTwitterShare to PinterestPinterestPinterestShare to MoreAddThisMore

I hate to admit it, but it’s kind of cute. I’m biased of course because I think most things Leo does is cute. Not only does Leo beg for food he also begs for attention. Neither are subtle. then again, Leo was never good at being subtle.

He’s pretty obvious when he wants the food in your hands. He sits down like the good boy he pretends to be and will patiently wait, hoping something will fall. I’m usually the one who gives in and will slip him a piece of cheese when Erich isn’t looking. So far Leo likes pretty much anything except carrots. I gave him a carrot once and instead of eating it, he tore it to tiny pieces all over the carpet. It was not fun cleaning that one up.

When Leo is begging for his dinner, he can be pretty sly. He gets fed twice a day; at 7 in the morning and at 7 in the evening. As soon as the clock turns 7, Leo somehow knows and will stand in front of me, pant, and stare deeply into my soul probably screaming the word “food” in his mind. luckily he doesn’t whine, or do anything destructive, he just gives me a “friendly reminder” that it’s time to make food appear in his bowl. It took me a while to figure out what he was doing, but as soon as I did and followed Leo’s instructions, it was his green light to do it whenever he wants food. Oops.

As for attention, Leo just can’t get enough, on his terms. When he wants to play or to be pet, Leo has no problem becoming the lapdog he thinks he is. He does this thing where he jumps next to one of us and will right away turn and put his butt in our face so we can scratch his back. He’s also really good at just being in the way if we’re doing chores during the time at which Leo decides it’s “give Leo attention” time.

When I said Leo just can’t get enough attention on his terms, I meant it. If Leo is being lazy, chewing on his bone, or just tired, he’s only half interested in getting attention. It takes a lot of encouragement to get Leo to come to us sometimes. maybe he’s part cat or was a cat in his past life?

Bather oversights

By Michell Evans
February 28, 2020
“Dear Michell, I groom in my hectic shop five days per week. I am having bather trouble. I can’t discover great bathers. I can’t keep great bathers. My groomers always grumble about the bathers.

Our bathers are needed to bath, dry, reveal anal glands, pull ear hair, deshed, demat, clip pads, clip nails, trim around feet, privates as well as eyes. We pay our bathers minimum wage plus tips, which are quite great at my shop. Do you have any type of advice?” —Travis M.

Hello Travis. Ahhh bathers. This is one of the greatest difficulties for beauty parlor owners, managers as well as groomers. In all reality, bathers are the backbone of the grooming salon. If they are great producers on a consistent basis, they should have to be honored as such. However, if they are not, they may be a lot more difficulty than they are worth.

Consider having bathers do dogs that do not impact the groomers. have them service dogs that only requirement to be seen by a bather. It is commonly the havoc that it wreaks on everybody else’s day when a bather phone calls in ill or gets behind that does the most harm. In this scenario, if a bather no–shows, you can just notify their clients like you would if a groomer no–showed, as well as then it does not wreck everybody else’s routine for the day. These dogs might include short–haired dogs, bath–between–groom dogs, as well as bath–and–tidy dogs. as well as let’s not fail to remember cats. There are lots of cats that a bather can do alone.

Also in this scenario, it can be a lot more helpful to pay compensation instead of hourly. lots of people are a lot more inspired by being paid on compensation as well as will create more. If you choose to pay commission, sit down as well as run some numbers to see what a practical compensation is for your salon. commonly a bather will stick around longer if they are paid much better as well as they feel like they have some manage over exactly how much they make.
Advertisements

If you are in a specify that does not enable you to pay your workers commission, as well as you desire to do so, think about using a base pay that satisfies the minimum hourly wage as well as pay their extra “commission” as a bonus. In this scenario, you are still basing the pay on the individual’s production, so it is similar to commission–based pay. between thirty as well as thirty five percent compensation plus ideas is normally far a lot more than minimum wage, however it depends upon your salon’s prices. Be sure to seek advice from regional employment legislations as well as your CPA for advice.

One of the most difficult elements of running a grooming beauty parlor is managing the schedule. If you have a bather phone call in ill as well as they were arranged to bathe dogs for groomers, who has time to phone call all of those clients as well as reschedule them for one more day and/or figure out exactly how to get a lot of of them done without calling the client? You may discover yourself running triage on the catastrophe days rather than creating high quality grooming yourself.

A receptionist plays a crucial function in a well–functioning salon. They can assist tremendously in these situations. everybody else can continue to create high quality grooming while the receptionist handles the schedule.

Try marketing to the veterinary neighborhood for bathers. a lot of licensed Veterinary Technicians make exceptional bathers as well as they can commonly make much a lot more money as bathers than they can as vet techs. Make sure that your task advertisement describes that they will be utilizing lots of of their tech skills for much better pay. They have spent time as well as money getting their education as well as it is risk-free to state that they would not want it to go to waste.

In the situation of a $60, one–hour bath on a Shepherd with nails as well as deshed, if you pay the bather one third as well as they make a $5 tip, they will make $25 dollars in that hour. According to Zip Recruiter, licensed Veterinary Technicians make $12–$19 per hour. keep in mind that $60 for a Shepherd bath is on the low end of the pricing spectrum.

A beauty parlor must never pay out a lot more than fifty percent of a service. This indicates that the bather as well as the groomer both get their earnings from fifty percent of the service. If you are paying your groomer a fifty percent compensation as well as then paying a bather on top of that, there is bit left over for profit. Your groomers may not like the concept of bathing their own dogs if they have had a bather, however a cost boost might assist them recuperate a few of the lost income.

Don’t underestimate the amount of time it takes to do a high quality bath. commonly the bather will be arranged as well lots of dogs in as well bit time. This is stressful for the bather, groomer as well as dog.

Doodles have taken over much of the routine these days, as well as unless yonull

Catnip Nation: Documentary looks at Unsung Heroes who care for Feral Cats

for every one of our spoiled house cats, whose most significant problem may be where to find the nearest sun puddle, there’s another cat who has to fend for herself. These feral cats, also knows as community cats, often go unnoticed, and if it wasn’t for dedicated caregivers who feed and care for these cats, often at great personal sacrifice, these cats would be even worse off. Catnip Nation, an hour long documentary, will explore the dichotomy between our beloved pet cats and the cats who live on the streets.

Created by socially-conscious, award-winning journalist, author, and filmmaker Tina Traster, and award-winning writer, editor and producer Lennon Nersesian, this film will take an extensive look at the unsung and often unseen heroes who care for feral cats. You’ll meet Stony point local Andrea LeResche, who climbs into a tangled copse to feed a colony of cats every day, no matter the weather. You’ll be introduced to Ken Salerno, a one-man cat whisperer who makes frequent visits to a new jersey sanctuary, where he has relocated much more than 60 beach cats who would have been rounded up from under the boardwalk in Seaside Heights and taken to shelters, or killed.

The documentary explores how it really “takes a village” to not only care for these cats, but also conquer adversity, which can range from angry neighbors and misguided animal control officers to politicians and developers. You’ll get to know the characters throughout the documentary, and you’ll learn why they do what they do, and how they sustain themselves through such adversity.

The filmmakers are hoping that Catnip nation will change hearts and minds on this essential topic. They are hoping that the documentary will inspire cat lovers to help ignite a grassroots movement demanding a humane service for feline homelessness.

Catnip nation launched a crowdfunding campaign to make this documentary a reality. For much more information about the film, visit CatnipNation.com.

I agree we need to get much more awareness of this issue and the much more who join this cause helping the ferals with TNR the greater the potential. The social media tools now are really the greatest tool for spreading the word. Don’t forget to post on Nextdoor or Craigslist if you need help with a colony or feeding a stray because you never know who might join the cause

I live in a gated community in central California. I have one house cat, however, there are at least seven or eight kitty cats that come to my back yard to eat several times a day. I feed them because I don’t want them to be hungry. Am I doing a wrong thing? What do you recommend? Thanks

Tammey says:

November 19, 2017 at 7:51 pm

You are fantastic to care for them. Feeding promotes breeding, however, so I would suggest contacting a local TNR (trap / neuter / return) group to help get them all fixed. If not, you will have an ever-growing population of cats on your hands. If neighbors begin to complain about the ever-growing number of cats, they are likely to call animal control whose normal protocol is to trap and euthanize. and you sound caring enough that this would bother you greatly. You’re not doing the wrong thing at all, just take it one step even more so the population doesn’t get out of control.
