Show Page 4B North Edition Lakeside Review Wednesday, January 23, 1985, A Grooming Important for Your Pet SUNSET The dog was a Of course no one wanted him near them and he wasnt allowed in the house in his condition. His shaggy fur hung matted from his eyes and mouth, and wet muddy ice balls clung to his paws when he tried to run. He stayed chained outside, in the cold and the snow. No one had time to care for him, no one played with him, so there was little love and attention directed his mess. way. lxri Carolan, owner of The Pet Chalet in Sunset, has many such stories of animals she has seen in terrible condition, ungroomed and uncared for and left to fend for themselves during the winter months. Mrs. Carolan has been grooming pets for nine years and also worked as an assistant to a veterinarian in Idaho. She now operates a grooming service at 392 W. 930 N. Lots of people think that pets need the extra fur on their bodies in the winter months, she said, but this is not true. Dogs and cats need grooming on a regular basis, regardless of the time of year. She explained that fur LORI Carolan, owner of pter grooming of pets is the Pet Chalet in Sunset, essential to their well-bein- says pro- g. that is unclipped and unbrushed collects snow and dirt, and matts, which actually keeps the animal wetter and colder than if he was properly groomed. Tangled and matted fur does not serve any purpose for the animal, and it gives him a dirty, unappealing appearance, which is the reason most of them remain outside. A dog or cat, whose owner cares enough to see that he is clean and cared for, will obviously receive more love and attention and behave better, she said. Mrs. Carolan recommends grooming for dogs and cats every six to eight weeks. The animal is bathed, brushed, and has his face, feet and stomach hair clipped and cleaned. His ears are cleaned and checked for infection, and the toenails are clipped. When this grooming is done on a regular basis the animal becomes familiar with the process and is less apprehensive. Many people are under the impression that grooming shops use tranquilizers on their pets, she said. The animal acts differently when it comes home, so they assume it has been tranquil-izeBut actually it is because the animal has had to be around other dogs and cats for many hours, which will excite or upset him, and has been made to endure hours of handling by a strange well-groom- ed d. person, doing all sorts of things to him. Mrs. Carolan enjoys working with animals and usually schedules two or three in the mornings and one or two in the afternoons. She handles cats and dogs of small to medium breeds. She has a regular clientele and provides full grooming services, including specialty cuts and clips as well as standard. Hours of the shop are 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, with special appointments available in the evenings or on Saturdays as necessary. Dogs and cats that are groomed on a regular basis accept it better and behave well for the show groomer. Her assures that the same person will always handle the animal. Grooming appointments vary in length due to the size and condition of the animal. Dogs as young as 4 months old should be groomed. Hair around one-wom- an the eyes and ears that is not clipped can cause infection. Toenails should be clipped regularly, especially if the animal is an inside pet. Mrs. Carolan tells the story of a dog that was unable to walk due to the length of its toenails. The owner thought the dog had arthritis or had broken its leg," she said, but its nails had grown and curled making it difficult for the animal to walk properly. Cats should also be bathed and groomed regularly. Some cats, especially Persians, matt and tangle their fur more by trying to clean themselves. Difficult areas such as under the chin should be taken care of by the owner. Some people think cats should not have their claws clipped so they can protect themselves outside and be able to climb, but they still need to be trimmed and cared for.
