Cocker Spaniel before and after look

My girls grow out their lovely curly hair for 6 months, and then snip - snip away, and it's down to the skin. The first time Daisy was shaved to the skin, she was so embarrassed at being naked. But even she could not deny how good she felt to have that thick coat come off. 3rd time around, she's looking forward to her 1/2 yearly shave.





And a lucky thing too, cos if she hadn't, I wouldn't have discovered the fleas. Yes, fleas. My poor girl was carrying those awful creatures around in that wooly coat. No wonder my poor Oz has flea=bite dermatitis. Now that I know what's going on on everyone's skin, I can manage it all effectively and holistically. I've learnt Sodium Polyborate is a safe environmental flea control application. My challenge is ~ where do I get it? When I do find out, I shall update this post with that resource.
