Congratulations To Our Featured Pets!

January

Name:
Hobbes Cochran

Owners:
The Cochran Family

Breed:
Portuguese Water Dog

Hobbes’ Favorite Hangout Spot: Hobbes loves to sit in front of the French doors (on one of his many doggie beds) and sunbathe.

Hobbes’s Favorite Food: Hobbes loves to eat everything that the kids drop on the floor, anything that he can grab from the trash compacter, and he especially likes licking the dishes.

Hobbes’ Favorite Pastime: Chasing squirrels and playing keep away.

Breed History: The Portuguese Water Dog (PWD) is a calm, intelligent dog that originated off the coast of Portugal. Originally, the PWD was taught by fisherman to herd fish into nets, retrieve lost tackle, and to act as a courier from ship to ship.

Other names for the PWD are the Cao de Agua (dog of water) and the Portuguese Fishing Dog.

Coat: This breed can be shown in 2 cuts either the lion clip (a long mane with a shaved mid section and hindquarters) or the working retriever clip (a ½ - ¾ inch all over).

It is important to note that this breed has a coat that is ideal for pet owners with allergy issues since its coat is non-allergenic and does not shed.

The Studly Pooch Formula: Hobbes always gets bathed with our HydroSurge® Sytem which deep cleans his coat and provides a relaxing massage. Hobbes loves our Hydrosurge®!

Hobbes also gets a mixture of our Lemon Zest shampoo and our Wild Animal Skin Moisturizer™. These keep Hobbes coat clean, fresh and soft.

To finish Hobbes off, we rub in our Cherry Remoisturizer which is a blend of aloe vera, vitamin e, and cherry bark. This reduces Hobbes’ itchy skin and scratching!

A Special Thanks to Hobbes and The Cochran Family for their participation!!

December

Name:
Lilac Comer

Owners:
Farren and Coco Comer have enjoyed Lilac’s company for 11 months!

Breed:
Newfoundland

Lilac’s Favorite Hangout Spot:Lilac loves to hang out on the roof top deck of Coco and Farren’s house. This allows Lilac to sunbathe and see everything happening at the park across the street.

Lilac’s Favorite Food:Lilac enjoys Science Diet with a little gravy and cheese sprinkled on top. Occasionally, Farren will drop some pancakes. When this happens, pancakes become Lilac’s favorite food!!

Lilac’s Favorite Pastime: Lilac loves to walk in the park and play with other dogs. Secretly, Lilac has been known to plant wet kisses on Farren in order to wake Farren up!!

Breed History: Lilac has an unusual background tracing back to the coast of Newfoundland and the Basque fisherman. Apparently, Lilac is a mix of the Great Pyrenees, the Boarhound and the Husky. All agree, however, that European fishermen brought Lilac’s breed to America.

Coat: Lilac has a thick heavy coat often called a double coat. This coat protects Lilac from icy water and long Winters (even if these conditions don’t exist in Southern California.) This protective coat is essential to Lilac’s breed since the Newfoundland is still used to help rescue drowning victims.

The Studly Pooch’s Formula: Here at the Studly Pooch, Lilac gets a bath with our Hydrosurge® Bathing System. This system deep cleans Lilac’s skin and coat, while providing a relaxing massage. (Lilac loves it!) Lilac also gets treated with our Kiwi Berry Hydrating shampoo and our Apple Oatmeal Soothing conditioner. After this, we then perform our 15 Point Doggie Inspection.

A Special Thanks to Coco, Farren and Lilac for their participation!!
