Hair today! Gone tomorrow!
Our new Hair-B-Gone
de-shedding treatment is a pet owner’s dream come true! This treatment
drastically reduces the amount of hair your pet sheds on carpet, furniture, in
your car, etc. With the use of special
tools, products, and some elbow grease, we are able to remove all the dead
undercoat that would otherwise matt up in your pet’s fur or that would shed out
into your home.
The Oxy-Med medicated & soothing
treatment is given weekly to greatly reduce irritation, redness, and chronic
skin problems.
Our Weekly Bath Program is perfect for
keeping your pet’s coat looking and smelling their best. We use mild shampoos and re-moisturizers to
prevent the coat and skin from drying out. This is especially helpful for the
busy pet owner. A happy pet is a clean pet, and a clean pet definitely has a
happy owner.

Breed: Drop coated breeds:
Maltese, Shihtzu, Lhasa
Apso, Yorkshire Terrier
Grooming
Schedule:
Every 4 to 6 weeks for a full grooming. These
breeds, in full coat should be brought to their groomer
weekly in order to maintain the coat. If you are able to take on the chore of
daily coat care then your pet will only need to see the groomer
every 4-6 weeks. Here are some guidelines for at home coat care.
Recommended Grooming Tools for the Drop-Coated Dog Owner:
Slicker brush, metal comb and a light conditioning
spray. A daily brushing is essential to a full coated dog.
Basic Grooming
Tips:
Y Before bathing your
pet, be sure to thoroughly brush the coat to eliminate any dead skin, tangles,
or mats.
Y When brushing your
pet, a basic technique is to brush small sections at a time.
Y Before brushing,
lightly mist the hair with a good coat conditioner. Brushing a pet’s coat when
it is completely dry may cause static electricity and breakage.
Y Conditioners also
eliminate dryness, help remove tangles and
add shine to the hair, which will intensify the natural coat color.
Y They should have their
nails clipped every two or three weeks. Nails that are too long can distort the
way your dog stands and cause discomfort to the toes and feet.
Y Your dog should have
their teeth brushed each day to prevent plaque build up. This also enhances the
overall health of your dog. Your groomers at
Cumberland Pet Grooming routinely check your pet’s teeth, ears, nails, and
glands at the time of their grooming and alert you of potential problems in any
of these areas.
Y Tear stains are a problem
for many breeds. There are many causes of those unattractive brown stains just
under the dog’s eyes. Tear staining is caused by excessive tearing. This
becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast. There are many things that cause excessive tearing.
Low grade bacterial infections in the tear ducts can cause excessive tearing,
blocked tear ducts, allergies, irritants, food dyes added to pet foods, water
with a high mineral content, to name a few. Genetics plays a large roll in the
problem of tear staining. There is a genetic predisposition toward tear
staining. There are many treatments used to eliminate and prevent tear
staining. Many are available from your veterinarian. There are many remedies
used that include omega fatty acids added to the food, colloidal silver drops
for the eyes, calcium carbonate, and many other products that have been used
successfully. There are many products on the market to remove staining but it
is best to get to the source of the problem and eliminate the cause.
