Teddy’s Transformation: A Story of Care and Commitment Meet Teddy, a seven-year-old Great Pyrenees with a gentle heart and a coat that tells a story. His owner has faced significant challenges in recent years, and through it all, Teddy has been her loyal companion. After seven years without professional grooming, Teddy’s coat had become matted and in need of expert attention, which led them to us at Chill Baths in Sebastopol. When Teddy first arrived, his coat required extensive care due to matting, which can cause discomfort and hide underlying issues. Our team carefully de-matted him, a delicate process that requires both patience and skill. Today, we’re proud to say Teddy’s grooming routine has been transformed—he is now regularly washed and blow-dried, and his entire grooming session has been reduced to two and a half hours. Grooming a dog of Teddy’s size, especially with his arthritis, requires a coordinated effort. At our shop, we prioritize individualized care, giving each dog the full attention they need. For Teddy, this meant a team effort, with multiple staff members bathing, drying, and brushing him, all while ensuring his comfort. It’s physically demanding work, but the reward is seeing Teddy leave looking and feeling his best. Working with dogs like Teddy is rewarding, though the physical demands of grooming are often underestimated. The grooming industry can be challenging, with long hours spent on your feet and the effort required to handle dogs of all sizes. However, at Chill Baths, we operate with a different philosophy. Our focus is on both the well-being of the dogs and ensuring our team is fairly compensated for the hard work they do. Every dog has a story, and behind every transformation is a dedicated team. At our shop, we believe in quality care for dogs like Teddy and fair treatment for the groomers who make it possible
