NC State researchers are working to improve the quality of life for dogs with non-seasonal atopic dermatitis.

This clinical trial is testing a novel monoclonal antibody drug with the goal of reducing or eliminating symptoms. Patients will come to NC State for eight study visits over the course of 14 weeks.

The study is fully funded, including free exams, allergy tests, bloodwork, urinalysis and 6 doses of the injectable drug.

Please share to help spread the word.

🛁✂️🐶Hey everybody! I need you guys to help me find a demo dog for an incredible class I'm taking in about 4 weeks. Pup needs to be under about 30 lbs, at least an inch or two of fur growth, and well-behaved in a kennel. Owner must be okay with a free bath and "salon fusion" groom of my choosing, and to let me physically transport said pup to and from the event in Cary. For more details, or to inquire if your dog is eligible, comment below 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Let's get creative!!

I am a pet groomer.
Not a behaviourist, not a trainer, not a Veterinarian.

I think sometimes we need to remember where a groomer’s responsibility ends and an owner’s begins. Groomers seem to be one of the only pet professionals who are routinely expected to train an animal to tolerate the service while simultaneously providing the service.

If your dog is terrified of the vet, we don’t expect the Veterinarian to spend every appointment training your dog to accept being examined. We work with a trainer, learn the appropriate techniques, and then we, as owners, put in the work between appointments. My own German Shepherd doesn’t like being handled by strangers at the Vet. So I’m taking her to training. The trainer is giving me the tools to help her become comfortable with handling, but ultimately it’s my responsibility to practice those skills with her. It is not my Veterinarian’s responsibility to train my dog during her appointment.

Grooming should be treated the same way. A good groomer can absolutely work patiently, use appropriate handling techniques, recognize stress signals, make accommodations, and help create positive experiences, but we cannot undo months or years of fear, lack of exposure, or behavioural issues during a grooming appointment while also trying to safely complete the groom.

Desensitization happens through consistent, repeated work, not once every 6-8 weeks on the grooming table. Your groomer can be part of the team, and your trainer can give you the tools, but at the end of the day training and preparing your pet for the world is the owner’s responsibility.
