It is that time again…Katsu’s bath time! I would not say that this is Katsu’s favorite activity.  However, with that said Katsu easily forgets about bath time when he is offered some peanut butter cookies from the staff at Dog Star.  The staff is very friendly and helpful. We usually take Katsu here once a month and we do the self-wash. They also have a S’Paw Menu if you prefer to have your dog groomed by them.

They also sell dog toys, collars, leashes, dog apparel, holistic treats and foods

For the self-wash, they provide you with soap and all of the other essentials you will need.

Towels, air dryer, brush, eye wipes, ear cleaning solution, shampoo, luxury finishing spray (offers fur shine and softness)

They have 6 different spa suites. In each of the spa suites, there is a waist-high bathing tub and easy load ramp for your dog to walk up into the tub.

Spa Suite

Step 1: Lather up and Rinse!

Step 2: Dry off!

Step 3: All done and smelling good!

Happy that it is all done!

We would love to hear from you! Go to our Facebook Fan page and post up some pictures of your dog’s funny bath time moments!

This past week was Katsu’s 4th birthday so we decided to take him to “healthy spot” to get some delicious treats to celebrate!

Healthy spot is a dog boutique that not only has a wide variety of goodies for your dog but they also have a day spa, styling salon, and a small dog daycare.

Tons of dog beds, toys, collars, leashes, and other goodies...

Healthy selection of food and treats

Katsu checking out all the toys....he is in heaven!

Decisions, decisions…it took Katsu awhile to pick out his birthday treats.

Finally, he decided on the birthday cupcake, squirrel (one that he can eat), and a heart (for love).

HAPPY BDAY, KATSU!Make a wish!

Share with us some of your dog’s favorite shopping spots!

Is it your turn to get groomed? If so, why not have your dog watch or wait for you while you get groomed? Isn’t it normally the other way around? But not at Floyd’s 99 Barbershop!

Inside peek of the uniquely decorated hip barbershop.

This is definitely not your typical barbershop!

Posters of Nirvana to The Rolling Stones are plastered all over their walls. The shop’s unique garage door is fully open to let in a cool breeze of air while you get your haircut.

The Floyd’s 99 shop that we frequently visit is the one in Venice, Los Angeles.  It is a one of a kind dog friendly barbershop. Your pup is allowed in the waiting area and can wait for you while you get your haircut.

If you were wondering, the answer is, yes, those are paws that you see on their ground around where Katsu is laying.

The paws actually lead you to their stand of doggy beauty fur products! Yes, that is how dog friendly they are! Why not also pick up some great fur products for your dog while you get your haircut?

Pet Shampoo, Conditioner, and other fur products sold at Floyd’s.
