oday, we’re addressing a challenging grooming situation with a dog in dire need of care. This poor pup was found in rough shape, heavily infested with ticks, and is now set to receive much-needed grooming and treatment.
Initial Assessment and Preparation
Upon arrival, it’s clear the dog is distressed and in poor condition. The ticks covering him are a major concern, so our first step is to evaluate his behavior and get him ready for grooming. Since the dog appears friendly but may react unpredictably, we need to handle him with care.

Ticks can be challenging to remove, especially the smaller ones.
