Classical or Ethereal Music

Ever walk into a grooming shop or veterinary office met with the sounds of the local rock station playing on the radio? Did you know that much like humans, a dog’s mood, sense of calmness and well-being is directly impacted by auditory stimulus? There have been numerous studies concerning the affect music has on a dogs mood and temperament all with similar results.  One such study led by Deborah Wells, a psychologist at Queen’s University Belfast, showed dogs are impacted by varying  genres of music. “Our own research has shown that dogs certainly behave differently in response to different types of music, e.g., showing behaviors more suggestive of relaxation in response to classical music and behaviors more suggestive of agitation in response to heavy metal music,”.

Ethereal music is played in the Spaw with the goal of providing a relaxing, positive experience for your loved one.

Gentle and Caring

Most dogs enjoy being touched, massaged and pet. Studies show that a lovingly handled dog is a healthier dog. The touch of the human hand improves the functions of virtually all the sustaining systems: respiratory, circulatory, digestive and so on. The same benefits have been proven for humans as well! In new born puppies, a frequently touched puppy is not only happier and healthier, but also better behaved. Dogs like humans, find comfort in touching another living being, which is one reason we get along so well!

Soft and Natural

We uses as must natural and low lighting as possible in the Spaw. While our groomers must be able to see when they are working, we also understand that harsh, fluorescent lights are not pleasant for your canine child. And our large front windows allow your pup to enjoy the view of the Spaw Pad too!
