On May 17, 2009 Mak Young, a frequent and well-loved client at VIP Pet Spa, won Best Terrier Mixed Breed at the annual Nutts for Mutts competition in Los Angeles!
Nuts for Mutts is an annual dog show and pet fair celebrating the best of the mutt. In this show, mixed breed dogs compete in categories such as “Best Kisser,” “Fastest Eater,” “Most Vocal,” “Mystery Mutt” and more. It’s a day of fun and a way for people to show off their mutts! Each year, this event raises much needed funds for New Leash On Life and allows them to come one step closer to their goal of making Los Angeles a no-kill city. All vendor fees, ticket sales, show registrations and additional proceeds directly benefit homeless animals.
Special thanks to groomer Taz Frazier for helping Mak to always look his best, and to Mak’s parents Karen and Toni for being such great customers! For more info on this event please visit www.nutsformutts.org
Just wanted to share some pictures of Blue and Macchiato looking great after their visit to VIP Pet Spa.
Here’s Blue, a cocker spaniel looking adorable with her two bows!
And Macchiato, a terrier mix and puppy in this picture. Today she is twice the size and just as cute!
Della and Reese are big, beautiful Standard Poodles. Della is the oldest, black in color and thinks that Reese, the white one, is her baby. When it’s Della’s turn on the grooming table, we must put Reese within close distance so that he can see Della, or else he gets upset! They truly love each other, and can’t stand to be apart even for a minute. Della and Reese come to the VIP Pet Spa every 2 weeks, alternating between baths and full grooms. Both dogs are extremely well behaved. They also have another poodle in their family, Amber, an apricot toy poodle. I don’t have a picture of him, but next time he comes in I will take a picture and post it here!
This is Jasmine the Labradoodle. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this breed, it is a mix between a Poodle and a Labrador Retriever. Labradoodles are extremely smart, active, people loving dogs. They are low to non-shedding and great for people with allergies. Their coats can vary from curly like a poodle to wavy and wispy. Jasmine is 2 years old, and is owned by Susan Cramm.  She has been groomed at VIP Pet Spa since she was a puppy, and is now a very good girl when it comes to grooming! We love seeing Jasmine when she walks in the door, but she’s a lot happier when her mom picks her up!
