We can fix that. Try our:

bath and nail trim. We can do this in a half-hour or less. It's inexpensive

Fleas, ticks and heartworms
We offer flea shampoo as part of our
other services. There is usually a small additional charge.
Our flea treatment uses a non-insecticidal
shampoo that is very effective when applied appropriately.
It works by acidifying the coat and skin with
citrus oil.
This works very nicely as long as the dog is
not further exposed to a flea-infested environment (If your yard has fleas,
your dog will have fleas).
Here's the rundown of topical treatments:
Frontline: Kills fleas
and ticks. Available over-the-counter
Frontline Plus: Kills
fleas and ticks and claims ability to kill ticks in larvae stage. Available
over-the-counter.
Advantage: Kills fleas
but not ticks. Available over-the-counter
Advantix: Kills fleas
and ticks: available over-the-counter
Revolution: Kills fleas,
ticks, and heartworm. By vet prescription in USA, but over-the-counter
in Australia.
We do not presently stock any of these but
will apply them for you if desired.
We are considering stocking Frontline.

Skunks
What to do if your pet is skunked!
1. Wash the pet immediately with whatever means
and shampoo you have available. This will resolve 80% of the problem if
done within an hour of being skunked.
Once the skunk oil sets into the coat and skin
you will have a very aromatic life for a quite a awhile.
We have never encountered a skunk treatment
that works, despite claims of the manufacturer.
All of the so-called skunk treatments we have
tried seem to depend on lacing the shampoo with lots of perfume to cover-up
the odor.
Does tomato juice work?
It might help because tomatoes have high acidity. Messy and expensive.
A solution maybe?
Here's another folk remedy that has many advocates:
1/4 cup baking soda
1 quart 3% hydrogen peroxide
drop of dishwashing liquid
Make a paste of the ingredients, use immediately after mixing, work into coat, let sit 5 minutes, rinse.
The peroxide could bleach the coat but we've never had this problem.
We've also never used this concoction on a client's dog. Please try it at your own risk!
This particular remedy is attributed to chemist William Wood of Humboldt State Univesity; we got it from the New York Times.
