Does your dog love to ride in the car? I passed several cars with dogs in them on my way home from work last week. A few of them had dogs hanging out the window — and it got me thinking. Who doesn’t enjoy the feel of a cool breeze rushing through their hair? But…
At Awesome Doggies, we’ve been seeing more and more large “doodles” in our mobile grooming salons – large dogs like Golden Retrievers or Labrador Retrievers mixed with a Standard Poodle. Doodles make great pets, blending the intelligence and hypoallergenic* coat of a Poodle with the lovable nature of the Retriever, as well as helping to…
Our new client Julie B. was so pleased after her dogs’ first grooming appointment with us that she took the time to send a message with a special request: “Today was my first time using your mobile grooming service. I want to let you know that I am very happy with how my appointment went….

I don’t know about you, but as the end of the year approaches and the weather gets a little cooler, I often find my thoughts turning to ….baking. Unfortunately for my waistline, I love to bake. I’ve recently discovered that baking for my dog is a great way to indulge my inner Martha Stewart without…
Have you ever wondered why your dog is determined to sit on your feet, as soon as you sit down in your chair, or even while you are standing? Believe it or not, it’s not just because they want to put your feet to sleep; there are other reasons, some of them good, some not…
