JET EXPRESS: New Bathing System!

We've just installed a new Bathing System! We call it the JET EXPRESS Dog Bath, because it delivers the cleanest bath in town!

Now, instead of the old-fashioned bath, every dog who is bathed at Play N Stay Pet Camp (boarding) OR through the Soapy Puppy Doggie Spa (grooming) will receive our new JET EXPRESS at no additional charge!


Our new JET EXPRESS bathing system jet-sprays our specialized shampoos deep into the coat (at 20 gallons a minute), cleansing the skin (not just the hair) at the deepest level, and blowing old dirt & hair out away from the skin!


It's invigorating and most dogs absolutely LOVE it! (As a staff, we have agreed that we need to invent a people version of the same system!)


It's safe for all dogs, from short-haired to long, and from puppies to large breeds...even our 16-year old Chihuahua "Albert" loves it!


Call 740-695-4566 today to treat your dog! Ask for a JET EXPRESS Dog Bath!

Rescue Prices Lowered!

All of our rescue dog's adoption fees have lowered! We are nearing our CRAZY, over-booked time at Play N Stay and we need the space! They are also ready for good homes with owners who are all theirs!

Choose from Tippy, JJ, Teddy, Buddy, and Bugsy!

See them at ThePerkyPuppy.com!

P.S. These guys need toys. Please go through your doggie toy boxes at home and consider donating those toys that are no longer used by your dogs. We will clean them and give our kids some new fun! (No rope toys or rawhide please!) Thanks! ;o)

Perky Puppy & RESCUE Update

The Perky Puppy is officially out of puppies and closed for the summer. As always, special order puppies are still available (details are on our website under "see available puppies").

The Lucky Puppy has some GREAT rescues available right now that need loving homes! All are NEUTERED and up-to-date on their shots! Tell your friends! All are great, little house dogs!

Tippy is a GREAT dog! He would work well in just about any home. Here's his video:


Bugsy is also a great dog! He would be FANTASTIC with kids and doesn't mind cats at all! He LOVES to play! Here's his video:


JJ & Teddy were rescued from a Pomeranian Breeding Kennel. They are doing surprisingly well on their housebreaking! Best in a home where there aren't many kids. They can be separated if necessary. Here is their video:


For details on these dogs, please check our website or call us at 740-695-4566.

Talk with ya soon!

Pomeranian Rescue

We got a call this week from a Pomeranian Breeding Kennel. Due to the husband's health issues, they are needing to downsize and were inquiring about our rescue program, The Lucky Puppy. We spoke at length and have decided to accept the challenge. Here's how it will work:

Over the next few months, we will be acquiring (a few at a time) approximately 7 Pomeranians & 1 Papillon, ages 2 to 10 years of age. Most of them are not yet housebroken (we're sure hoping we can teach old dogs new tricks) and none of them are spayed or neutered. They were purchased as breeders and have lived in a kennel environment all of their lives. It is our plan to spay & neuter all adults, work on housetraining, and to find them loving, adoptive homes.

There were 2 puppies that are 1/4 Papillon and 3/4 Pom, that are 10 weeks old. (In case you are still stuck on the 1/4-3/4 thing, it's a Pom crossed with a Papillon/Pom.) They have come to us first. They will be adopted out at premium rate ($300. for brown and white, $350 for wolf sable). Their adoption fees are set high to help pay for the spays and neuters, care and housebreaking on the dogs to come next.

These puppies are BEAUTIFUL! They are up to date on vaccinations and dewormings and the adoptive family will be required to neuter them by 7 mos. Here are there pics:

Blueberries and Mud!

What do BLUEBERRIES and MUD have in common? And why are they being talked about on a dog & puppy blog?

Because VERY SOON, we will be offering Blueberry Facials and Spa Mud Masques for boarding and grooming clients at Play N Stay Pet Camp and the Soapy Puppy Doggie Spa!

Now, before you check out on me (I know you are rolling your eyes), let me explain a little more.

But first, GET YOUR DOG OVER TO THE COMPUTER, so that I can talk to him or her directly.

OK, dogs, here goes:


BLUEBERRY FACIALS: Believe it or not, Blueberry Facials are pretty cool! Here's why: Dogs-let's be honest-we KNOW that you can't wash your own face. And most people who bathe you won't wash your face either (often they just kind of bathe everything else and act like you don't even have a face). And if your people DO wash your face, it's often just a little "wipe off" of the hair...not really scrubbing your face. (And, you know, all of your people scrub THEIR faces...some even do it a few times a day!)

Our special Blueberry Exfoliating Face Wash (due to arrive this week) is specially formulated for dog faces and dog whiskers. It's tearless and exfoliating, so the spa attendants can really scrub it down in...which is very, very relaxing-it feels SO good!

After a nice facial massage, it rinses away cleanly removing 85% of those ugly tear stains and breaking down all of the mouth and slobber gunk that make your whisker crunchy and sticky. (And for those of you with really wet faces, either from tears, slobber, or your water bowl, your face won't smell like old socks anymore!) You and your owners will be delighted with the smell of Fresh Blueberries that lasts and lasts! (It's great for long, dangly ears too!)


MUD MASQUES: For all of our 4-legged friends with problem skin (dry, itchy, flaky, or hot spots), this is the spa treatment for you! Specially formulated mud with Dead Sea Minerals & Eucalypus Oil is massaged into your skin (not just your hair). If it's nice day out, you can wear your mud out into the play yard, where the heat from the warm sun will feel so good on your skin. (If it's a yucky day out, our spa attendants will lay warm, damp towels on your body, so the mud can penetrate over the next 15-20 minutes.) The mud masque then "goes to work", moisturizing your skin and coat, relieving the itching and burning that makes you crazy sometimes. Once the masque is rinsed away, you will be thrilled at the results! Your old dry hair and skin will be lustrous & beautiful!

All the neighborhood dogs will be so envious when they see the whole new you!

Both products will be available as a service and available for purchase, so your owners can do-it-themselves at home!
