Welcome to the freshly relaunched monthly newsletter from Petmasters, where we’ve decided it’s spring (whether Mother Nature knows it yet or not). Spring! Time to take the dog for longer walks, sit outside with the chickens, and keep the cat from eating the blooms you’ve arranged in a vase on the table. And when you start in on a cleanout of the closets, don’t forget about your furry friends–they need a little spring spiffing too.<\/p>\n

Get Your Groom On<\/strong><\/div>\n

\"GetLet’s talk dogs. Every winter, most dogs grow a thicker coat to combat the cold. With spring, of course, comes the Big Shed (and furballs tumbleweeding through the house). You can help your dog with this process by brushing and bathing her, but even better (and involving fewer puddles on your bathroom floor) would be to take your dog to a groomer and let them decide on the best tool for your dog’s coat and\/or undercoat and\/or dreadlocks: a brush, or a slicker brush, or a rake, or a comb, or a trim. Other important areas to attend to are the ears, eyes, and toenails. (Dog owners know the real secret to inner peace isn’t a pedicure for your own paws but one for the defiant dog!) Check the Petmasters listings for a groomer<\/a> near you.<\/p>\n

Petmasters Connections<\/strong><\/div>\n

\"petmastersAs you can see, Petmasters is the place to hook up with all manner of experts in their fields–from groomers to trainers to horse boarders to chicken coop builders. Every day we serve as a bridge between pet parents and pros. It’s one of the most important functions we provide, so we take seriously every pet pro, every pet parent, and every communication between them. In future newsletters, we’ll be going “Behind the Scenes at Petmasters” with stories from our pro and parent peeps.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Focus On: Animal Communicator and Reiki Master Julie Ulrich<\/strong><\/div>\n

\"\"If you want to hear some stories direct from your pet, you can always check in with an animal communicator. “How does that work?” you might ask. Well, we can tell you! Through our exclusive interview with Julie, we learned that answer and a lot more about this fascinating field. Based in New York, she offers in-person or distance energy sessions for animals (and their people). “Animals have so much wisdom to share with their humans!” Julie says. You can read the whole interview here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Feature: Our Founder and His Family<\/strong><\/div>\n

\"\"As you might expect, Petmasters founder Michael Caldwell and his wife, Danielle, and kids (Graham, 13, and twins Noah and Chris, 9) are all devoted to animals. Pictured here are the human Caldwells with their canine family member, Poppy, on her “gotcha” day three years back (all the way from the great big state of Texas courtesy of Rescue Road Trips<\/a>). Poppy has a feline brother, Snowy, and a feline sister, Clementine, whose purr competes with the TV when she\u2019s busy sleeping on your chest. Rounding out the family are Noah and Chris’s lively but lamentably nocturnal hamsters, Fluffy and Cookie, and Bubbles the betta fish, who keeps watch over the Caldwell kitchen counter. Any future additions to the menagerie? Maaaaaybe a bunny (Mom and Dad?). As Graham points out, “They’re like a pretty good size–not too big and not too small–and they’re fluffy.”<\/p>\n
