Frontline Applications

I think folks may not know it or may forget; but when you are applying Frontline or any other topical to the back of the pet make sure you give yourself at least three days before and after between baths.  When you bathe your pet you deplete essential oils from the skin that these applications need to spread all over its entire body.  Hence, if you bathe today, add three days to the day and apply Frontline thereafter.  Even though there is such a thing as Frontline Plus (waterproof) the application isn't cheap and I've found you will not have a doubt if you give some space between applying Frontline and the bath time. 

Another thing I should mention here is the way you use Frontline.  I did have a pet that would burn at the spot I applied the Frontline if I applied it all at once in the same spot.  It happened twice and then I chose to apply the Frontline in a trail but very close to one another just not all in the same spot.  And I didn't do too many different spots just one or two depending on the amount of Frontline the size of your pet calls for.

Time for blogs and Newsletters

I have to say that making time for a blog or newsletter on top of being a full time groomer / owner is HARD.  I used to send out a newsletter once a month, it had a lot of information on it.  But, it took me about two weeks to get it sent to all of over 2000 recipients.  I was about to try out constant contact when I saw what the costs would be for that amount of recipients.  It was ridiculous!  Especially being that the newsletter has brought me in no new clients it was a benefit for the current clients I do have.  So, I decided the time and money I was putting into doing the newsletter wasn't going to be feasible.  So, here is the blog that I started for a student to do for me.  When she pulled out of the task it was after I had already started the blog.  So, here it is a great trade for me to do the blog, post facts and situations for clients like you reading this instead of spending countless hours trying to beat the spam on gmail to get all 2000 emails out.  Whew.  But, still it is hard to make time to do these things :)  But, the knowledge must come out and I want my clients to know about the many things that could happen with their pets and ways to treat them and prevent them.
