I have been observing the dogs fed on the raw food diet when they come in for their regular grooming appointments and have noticed one HUGE thing they all have in common.

Um, vacuum for pets! Say goodbye to unwanted hair. I have to admit I've never seen one of these and I bet Jesse would run a mile if I did bring one home. She hates the hoover as it is so don't see in my house anytime soon. Pity, fuzz free house would be nice! What do you think, yah or nah?

Thanks to PetChums favourite dog grooming and wellness consultant, Jessica Mannering from Tailwaggers.ie we now have a simple and easy to follow video demonstration on brushing and de-matting your canine friends. These techniques can also be applied to your long haired cat so no excuses!

It’s about that time of year where seasonal shedding is starting to happen. Usually twice a year your dog or cat will shed it’s entire undercoat leaving a glossy thinner topcoat that’s easier to maintain. I say usually because most pets are kept indoors and the seasonal shed can happen all year long from the heat going on in the house. This is what I refer to as ‘non-seasonal’ shedding. Another example of non-seasonal shedding is when the animal’s topcoat also sheds. This should never happen as it is a prime example of an essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency and/or food allergy.
