PetDaddy

Dear PETDADDY customers,

Unfortunately we will be tempoarily closed due to a car crashing into our store Weds morning. Our construction engineers are doing their best to make it safe for our customers to enter the store. The earliest we are looking at to open will be next Weds or Thursday. We appreciate your patience and will do our best to get you a grooming appointment right away.

Here is the news footage on what happened.

Truck smashed into PetDaddy

What we are noticing at our store are more mix poodles breeds.  Labradoodles, cockapoos, shitsapoos.  It has becoming a phenomemenon in the new dogs breeds to mix other full breeds with poodles.  The breeders intentions  to  combine great characters of other dog breeds with the intelligence and non shedding coat of a poodle.  Although postive results have resulted by creating these poodle mixes we have experienced many owners who are not aware of the grooming up keep and maintenance of these dogs with the poodle like coat.  Shedding might not be an issue but letting these dogs go ungroomed or not brushing for long periods can result in  difficult matts to take out. 

We have  seen the matts so bad that some of our groomers could not de matt but had to shave the dog down.  As a result customers were unhappy about the way their dog looked.  Dematting bad matts can be very painfull for the dogs as well.  In extreme cases we could not take the dog and recommended to the customer to go to their veterinarian.  You might be saving more money by not getting your dog groomed often but you end up paying more for a shaved dog and an unattractive non-standard breed cut.  Or worse it could cost you more to take it to a veterinarian to get rid of the matts. 

You could avoid this buy going to your groomers regularly or brushing and dematting your dog daily.  Petdaddy will have a simple how to video soon for you on maintenance for these types of poodle mixes.
