Hello World from Mr Mylo 🤍🕊🤍

If you are blessed to be around animals … just sit and be. If you aren’t, take time to go to a local place where animals are … spend time with them and feel the true beauty and clarity they offer you when you truly ask for nothing but just be … in harmony and without desire … Have a great day XxX

What is A**l Glands?

A**l glands are little sacs that sit either side of your dogs a**s at around 4 and 8 o’clock positions located just below the skin surface between the two layers of muscles of the sphincter controlling the a**s. These glands are the reason that dogs sniff each other’s rear ends when they meet.

Most of the time when your dog needs to go the stool passes though the glands and empties the area when all is well you don’t notice that they are there, but like everything sometimes the glands do not completely empty themselves and there can be fluid left behind that becomes thickened, blocking the duct through which the gland empties.

Blocked a**l glands in dogs are smelly and uncomfortable and may result in them doing the dreaded ‘scooting’ along the ground, trying to empty them this is a classic sign of a full a**l gland.

If this does happen it can be extremely painful and make the dog feel ill. If a dog a**l gland infection is not treated, abscesses can form and, if still not resolved, the glands can actually rupture. This requires urgent treatment but even ruptured glands can heal, and most return to their normal function.

However you can treat A**l Glands yourself if signs are spotted early enough. A fantastic prevention is to wipe the dogs bum clean with dog friendly wipes as soon as you can after they been, feeding treats like tripe can also help however each dog is different in the past we known many dogs to have tripe that’s help to clear the glands.

Making sure the dog food is also suitable is another massive factor making sure the dog diet has lots of fibre into the digestive system to make sure the food is able to digest properly.

A number of popular foods commonly eaten at Christmas can be harmful to your dog. Sharing certain human foods can make your dog very ill indeed.

Hi everyone, I have been asked by quite a few people if I am still facilitating the pet first aid courses.

I can confirm, I am still eligible to facilitate these as I have kept my personal CPD and insurance up to date and I am in the process of responding to many requests. If you have undertaken a course with me in the past, I think you’ll remember how passionate I am about all animals being supported to the best that we can offer.

If you wish to undertake one of my canine first aid courses or undertake a refresher, please feel free to message me and I will respond in due course.

As always, thank you to those who continue to support us as we move through many transitions 🙏🔶🐾🌟🌟🌟🐾🔶🙏

Best contact is via messenger or e mail.

What’s the most common cause of heatstroke in dogs? If you said “being in a hot car”, you’d be mistaken. 75% of cases of heatstroke are caused by exercising on a hot day.
Tomorrow is going to be a scorcher, so, as well as not leaving your dog in a hot car, it’s vital that you avoid walking your dog during the hottest parts of the day, and stick to times when it’s cooler, such as early morning or in the evening.

Find out more about heatstroke and when to walk your dog on hot days at thekennelclub.org.uk/dogsdiehotwalks.

So important ... common sense but completely agree ... preparation will always be the key to success ... to rush a job or cut corners will only add to the process or cause potential harm to the animal XxX Well said Lisa 🔶️🌟🌟🌟🔶️

Prep is everything 💜

I hear myself repeat this a lot, especially when doing training days, prep always seems to be the after thought or the thing groomers want to get through as quickly as possible and this actually has a knock on effect on the rest of your grooming process, spending a little extra time on bathing, making sure the coat is completely clean makes drying quicker, A clean coat will respond better to fluff drying and a perfectly straight and completely dry coat makes achieving a nice finish so much simpler.

* Always use the best quality products you can afford and try to keep them as natural as possible.

* Put diluted shampoo mix straight on to a dry coat so you are not diluting the products more than the recommended rate, this allows the product to reach the skin easier and it cleans the skin and doesn’t just sit on top of a wet coat and actually uses the same amount of product but you get a better clean.

* Always wash the face, ear leathers and feet twice including in between pads, grease and dirt left in these areas takes longer to dry and will damage your equipment.

* Rinsing is just as important and shampoo, if you leave product residue in the coat this again makes it harder to dry but can also cause irritation. I rinse to remove suds then rinse head to tail again just to make sure.

* Use conditioner, it hydrates and protects the coat and if you are using a suitable product for each coat type it shouldn’t make drying harder.

* Dry the coat starting on areas that naturally dry quicker, and leave areas like ears that hold the water until last, this ensures a good finish.

* Be systematic when drying and work your way around from one leg and forward, never jump from one area to another without making sure the previous area is actually dry, this causes curls and kinks.

* Use a hand held dryer to add lift in to the coat and reach difficult areas like armpits and inside of legs.

* Make sure the coat is completely brushed out and perfectly dry before styling.

* Clip nails, trim pads and hygiene areas before body styling. (Obviously exceptions for dogs that have issues)

*Avoid adding products to the coat after washing, A clean hydrated coat is all you need. On most client dogs those products will sit in the coat until the next groom and cause damage.

Happy prep groomies, learn to enjoy prep and see your grooms shine! 💜

IMPORTANT … CHECK OUR PETS … MAKE IT PART OF YOUR ROUTINE

Morning everyone … for all who have undertaken dog first aid courses with me and everyone else … I just wanted to say once again the importance of grooming and checking our beloved pets … a few days ago as I did Mishkas check I found a lump, obviously I took her to the first vet appointment available … she had samples taken and yesterday we found out the lump wasn’t a cyst as expected … it is actually a tumour … the fact we have caught it so early due to grooming and checking now gives Mishka the best chance she can have so please … I implore you all … schedule in a check as part of your routine … I know on all off my first aid courses I really pushed this with each session, now … I openly say … it’s imperative for our fluffy family members that we know and check for signs of change … wishing you all a blessed day x 🙏🌟🙏
