Testimonial - Charlie & Poppy

"I have two Tibetan terriers, Charlie and Poppy,aged 13 and 14 respectively. Until we moved to Spain 4 years ago we had clipped and groomed them ourselves and although they were cool they looked awful.  Someone recommended Diane to me when we first moved here  and since then the dogs not only love her but they now look professionally clipped and cute. I don't know what we would do without her as they need clipping at least three times a year in this climate and they are so happy to see her. I can't recommend her highly enough." - Carrie Turner. "

Is Cat Food Harmful to Dogs

Answer

Many dogs prefer to eat cat food if given the chance because generally its higher in fat, which usually means its more appealing to the dog. If your dog is eating the cat's food in addition to her own, she will begin to become overweight and obviously your cat will lose out. Since many cat owners allow their cats to eat throughout the day this is a fairly common problem. It is highly unlikely that any direct harm will come to your dog from eating cat food, but remember that cat and dog food are specifically formulated for their species' needs. In particular, cat foods normally have higher quantities of protein, fat and fiber on a weight per weight basis and have less filling effect. Therefore, it is possible that your dog's general health could be affected if he were to eat only cat food over a long period of time.

SHEDLESS TREATMENT

The shedless treatment consists of 3 steps. A special FURminator tool which is utilized to remove excess undercoat and loose hair, bathing then a high powered velocity dryer which blows out all excess hair, flaky skin and dandruff leaving a healthy, shiny top coat.
