Puppy Pampering...

"From hot oil treatments to aroma therapy, the economic slowdown isn't deterring pet owners from plopping their 'babies' into the lap of luxury." How do you know if your pup is stressed?:

" Urmila says most owners pamper their pooches when they feel the dog is feeling low or showing signs of stress. "They start licking their paws, start yawning, panting, have different bowel movements, feel a loss of appetite and sometimes the colour of their tongue may also change," says Gauri, who has worked closely with a vet for years."

I don't know. Dogs are animals and I'm not sure if they can even fully enjoy spa treatments. But I do really like their support of helping abandoned dogs and their refusal to pierce a dog's ears or anything else that may cause the canine discomfort. Also, "It helps abandoned dogs find a new home, and even has a 'matrimonial' board for canines with more carnal needs. The board displays photographs of a buff Alsatian with the words, "Need mate. He's loyal and gentle’’. And his fur is, of course, blow-dried." I guess you can't argue with that.
