November Update
I just wanted to update my blog....things have been so busy that it's been a lower priority. I wanted
to give a very heartfelt "thank you" to everyone that has made the change (and some the drive) to my Bishop Hill
location that used to come to Kewanee! I am extremely appreciative and hopefully the lower prices and short appointment
times help reflect that.
We are always trying to better ourselves in the eyes of our clients and I wanted to let
you know that we are trying some different grooming products and appreciate any feedback that you may have to help us to decide
whether to incorporate those products or keep what we have. We have been trying some whitening shampoos as well as some
different colognes. We have finally found a product that will remove the grease from ear medications as well as oily
sabaceous-type masses! Also, we are trying a skin treatment involving Dead Sea mud (not unlike what is used for humans).
Dead Sea mud can improve blood circulation and it also promotes natural skin growth. Due to the fine mud grains, it
cleanses and removes dirt particles, impurities and toxins that are found in the coat and on the skin. Dogs that are
suffering from skin problems such as flaking, drying, yeast-growing or bacterial infections can benefit from the mud moisturizing
the skin and gently peeling away the dead and problem skin cells to reveal a healthier skin layer. We are currently
testing this on Missy, as she has some flaky, dry, itchy areas. This is "Week 2" of the trial and we are seeing
results. Immediately her coat was softer and after the second treatment we've noticed a dramatic change in her skin.
We are hoping to make this available to our clients soon.
Finally, I wanted to mention that, in the past we have
offered a free bath and nail trim to pets recently adopted from the Kewanee chapter of the Henry County Humane Society.
I have decided to extend this to any pet that is adopted from a humane society or rescue group. You must bring in proof
of the adoption (by appointment only please) and it needs to be within the first month of adoption. Please let
us know when you call to schedule the appointment.
In closing, in the event I am too busy to write for awhile,
I wish everyone a happy holiday season! Also, please remember to schedule holiday spa appointments and resort
reservations well in advance to assure availibility. Take care, Tara
