Being a responsible pet owner goes beyond simply feeding your companion and taking him or her for a walk every day (it also includes the occasional serving of pork-flavoured treats, too). Pamper your furry friend with today’s WagJag from K9Sudz:

• $55 for one week of doggie daycare (a $110 value)
• $11 for two self-serve dog washes (a $22 value)
• $11 for a full-serve dog wash (a $22 value)

Option one provides your loved one with a week of mini daycare, which includes a cozy atmosphere and stimulating toys to play with. The daycare runs Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm and dog walking services are available upon request. Option two includes everyday shampoo and conditioner, use of towels, rubber brush, apron and a high velocity dryer. The third option steps it up a level and includes the “We Wash” service, which provides your hairy companion with a wash, dry, 10-minute brush out and your choice of one of K9Sudz’s specialty shampoos such as whitening or coat release, de-shedding, deodorizing, hypo-allergenic, vanilla-lemon conditioner or everyday shampoo and conditioner. A full cleanup and disinfecting of the area is provided after each wash to ensure the health of all pooches.

Regular baths help prevent skin disease and could help cut down costs on veterinary bills. What many pet owners don’t know is that matted fur is painful to your pet and doesn’t allow air to circulate to the skin, which in turn causes hot spots, bacterial and fungal infections. Mats are also a hiding spot for fleas, ticks, maggots and other parasites which could lead to skin infections. It's recommended to brush your dog everyday and bathe him or her every six to eight weeks.
