Haircuts and Trims

Between groomer visits, I like to give Zoey little touch-ups to keep her comfortable and looking neat and save a little $$. Trimming the floofs around her paws, ears, and sanitary areas keeps her from slipping, getting too hot, or picking up extra di...

Nail and Paw Care

Zoey’s paws carry her through daily walks and adventures, so keeping them healthy is a must. Regular nail trims stop her from click-clacking around the floors (and scratching us when she jumps up for cuddles), and paw balm keeps her pads soft and pro...
