Between a Happy Owner and a Pet Groomer

Welcome! If you have dropped by here, it is because you are looking for pet advice, right? Aren’t you tired of others judging you how to take care of your pet but do nothing to tell us why things are some way or another? On this blog, you will find from the most common questions up to the very deep topics about how to take care of your pet. It doesn’t matter if it is a dog, a cat or a snake!

I am an advertiser who has had the joy of living with animals her whole life and finally found something to talk you about. I just moved to the U.S.A and let me tell you something, things are much more expensive here than in Costa Rica (where I was raised… I originally come from Peru, but that is a story for another day).

Even though the U.S.A is pretty expensive, the greatest thing I have found so far is preventive medicine and pet insurance. Teeth wipes, brushes, cat/dog ear drops and eye drops are available to you on the supermarket and if you don’t find what you are looking for there, what can’t be found at Amazon, right? There are companies like H&M who give you the benefit of pet insurance (yes, really) and lots of products that will help you become a better pet owner. There are low-cost clinics, special programs, and even memorial funds for pet owners.

I want to share my discoveries and how to use them with the world because I know many people who love animals but think they are too expensive and are missing the joy of having one by their side. Yes, it is possible for you to keep your pet happy and healthy and we are going to learn how together.

The most important thing that you must know about me is that I have 4 dogs in Costa Rica and I’m working very hard to bring them here with me. In time order they are:

Canela, she is 15 years old, a street dog that after we castrated her, she didn’t want to live with our neighbor anymore so she just kept on getting into our house. At that time, she was 1-year-old.

Tonka, she is 10 years old, she loves humans but hates other dogs… I know we need to work on that! Her mom gave birth in one of the garages in our neighborhood and was thrown out. My mom and a vet helped restore the mom and the 6 puppies back to health. They found a home for everyone, but my dad fell in love with Tonka. The rest is history! 

Kiara, also known as “Miss Piss a Lot”, she is 10 years old and I think she must have bladder problems because every time you say “Hi!” to her, she pisses… and her puppy years are waaaay behind her. Also, if you scold her, she will bark at you back… little spoil brat. 

Daisy is 4 years old, we found her on January 2015. She is brave enough to get close to Tonka (and I already told you she doesn’t like other dogs) and also looks a lot like a dog we used to have that died in 2012 (Candy, love of my life) so I was sold the moment I laid eyes on her.

They are my precious rescued dogs. I became a dog groomer (for obvious reasons) so that I am able to understand the owner’s point of view. Who wants to get bitten by your own dog? That doesn’t sound right. But as a responsible pet groomer, I want to teach you how to prevent that and how to prevent most common sicknesses from happening.

Feel free to share your story and your questions to help others become better pet owners!

Now I want to know:   
Do you have a dog, a cat or a nontraditional pet?
