"My life completely changed with my first adoption. Nine months after I got Hazel, I turned pescetarian (because I can’t imagine eating the meat of an animal I could imagine myself keeping as a pet…). My life feels more fulfilled and purposeful now; I think it has to do with wanting to care for someone other than myself. So yes, I would definitely do it all over again. In fact, I can’t imagine life without a pet anymore." - Poh Bee

Ever wondered about the story behind the purchase you've just made for Fido or Fluffy?

Q: My Samoyed has joint problems and my groomer said that the fur under her paws worsens the situation because there’s no traction when she’s sitting or walking on our slippery tiled floor. Her paw fur grows like weeds, so I’m looking to get a set of professional grooming shears to trim her paw fur at home. What sort of shears do you recommend for trimming paw fur and what’s the best technique to use?

Q: My Miniature Schnauzer has severe Schnauzer bumps, so when I send him for grooming, he often returns with bloody spots on his skin where the shears nick his scabs. How can I prevent this from happening, and also reduce the bumps on his skin?

Q: Are paw washers worth investing in? My two Malteses sleep with me on the bed and I’m not sure how clean their paws are after walks if I use just wet wipes. Will using a paw washer every day dry their paw pads and skin out? How can I make sure my dogs are clean enough to sleep on my bed in between baths?

Q: I recently sent my Miniature Schnauzer to a new groomer and she emerged with a terrible haircut! Her muzzle fur was far too short, and her whiskers and eyelashes had been cut as well. Meanwhile her leg furnishings were short yet choppy. What can I do to ensure my dog gets a good haircut, and what should I do now that her hair has been ruined?
