Ebony had her first professional grooming today.  The vet, Dr. Flynn at Crown Hill Vet, was concerned about some ear wax build up. He said that this a common issue for Goldendoodles but is rectified by keeping the hair in front of the ear opening trimmed.  Since the some total of my grooming experience has been claw trimming and baths, he suggested that I have a pro do it the first time.  PetSmart has a puppy grooming special for $9.99 for puppies five months and younger.  They bathed her, cleaned her ears and trimmed the hair in front of the ear, as well as trimming her claws. When I picked her up, she was this incredibly soft and fluffy ball of fur.

Fergus had his bath earlier in the day.   When Ebony got home it was time for Advantage all around for Fergus, Ebony and Bandit, our cat. I use nematodes in the yard and that really cuts down our flea issues.  I usually only have to use a flea control medicine once a year of less. We have been lots of places though and had unfortunately picked up some fleas.  Since Fergus and I are both allergic to them, I wanted to get on top of that problem right away.
