Shirley's Grooming Salon

Hi guys, not knowing how long this quarantine may be, I was able to find a nail trim video that gave really clear instruction on what you're looking for when trimming black nails. As usual, we wish you all good health and well-being in this tough time and always!

A nail trim for a dog versus what we know happens at the people salon :)

Coco bean, we adore you

Is anyone in need of free stuff? End tables, cristal cookware and unique china, books and more. Have you been missing your Avon lady? One of our pups and her mom are moving away. The owner's mom has been a .ember of this community for about 60 years, but she passed on back in January and her family is ready to try and move on. With her permission, Margaret asked that I pass on her phone number 714.296.1644 if you're interested in stopping in for anything before this upcoming Thursday. She is just a mile down the road at 18530 Amie Ave. by Columbia Park. I'm sure she'd appreciate that you call and check that she is ready for visitors instead of just stopping by She would rather give it to someone that needs than just leave to throw out. #moving ##pomeranian #cockapoo #cockermix #chihuahua #maltese #poodlemix #mixbreed #muttsofinstagram

Good morning, everyone. I've got a concerned dog mom asking for advice on getting her pup to eat his medicine. She's tried grinding it up and mixing it with his food, but he just won't touch it. Are there any other tricks or methods that come to mind for you? Thank you in advance for your help! #fleamedicine #fleaandtickprevention #dogmeds #trickintomeds #cantfoolthissnoot #veterinarymedicine #pillsformydog

These are just a couple brand options for doggie diapers. Pet stores are also known to carry re-usable/washable ones. Whether you have a puppy, a pet in training that can't be left out overnight or a senior pet who is having accidents, these can be a fantastic tool to help you retain patience with your pet during the trying time. No one wants to wake up in the middle of the night or lose sleep over an accidental poo or pee. Consider doggie diapers for your pet, even if just at night to wake rested with peace of mind. #pettraining #doggydiapers #seniorpets #olddogsrule #pottytraining #accidentshappen

We love our pups so much! Is everyone ready for the weekend? #maltese #terriermix #chihuahua #mixbreed #muttsofinstagram #pug #puglife #schnauzer

Yes, absolutely true!

Emotional, but happy ending I came across this thanks to a grooming group I'm part of. In 16 years of grooming, I'm happy to say I've never personally seen anything like this in any of the pets I've groomed, BUT several groomers have spoken up about seeing it in pets they've groomed in the last couple of months, mostly in poodles, doodles (poodle mixes) and obese pets. Several of the pet owners took the groomer's advice and took their pets to the vet right away and were informed it's a good thing the groomer noticed because if it had gone on any longer, their pet may not have survived.

Today was bittersweet. We found out Corky girl lost her partner in crime. Toby, we will miss you so much, but we are happy you're no longer in pain. Old age creeps up on all of us eventually, but hopefully we'll have someone as kind and loving as your sweet mom to help us through it. #mixbreed #maltese #maltipoo #muttsofinstagram #standardpoodle #goldenretriver #pug #toypoodle

People are always looking for a way to improve and enrich their pets' lives. Sweet potato is not only great for skin and coat, but it can be a yummy treat as well. Boiled sweet potato with no additives is also a great addition to any diet #lovemydog #healthytreats #sweetpotato

Saturdays may be one of our favorite days in the salon, we have too much fun wrapping up the week! Coco girl is always fun and I know, it's not okay for parents to have a favorite kiddo, but is it okay for a groomer to have favorite pups? Today was just full of them! #pomeranian #mixbreed #muttsofinstagram #standardpoodle #poodle #chihuahua #yorkiepoo #terriermix #sheltiesofinstagram
