Ronin Tested, Ronin Approved

Every 2 weeks, we take our dog to get bathed.

At almost 160 pounds, he has long since outgrown our small house and ability to perform this task ourselves.  Like plumbing and brain surgery, this is a task best left to professionals.

We adopted such this schedule because Ronin was showing signs of allergies and was not getting the relief we thought he should from a course of allergy shots. 

We consulted a specialist and it was recommended that we add a regular course of bathing and this has worked so well that we were able to discontinue the allergy shots.

Finding someone who would and could work with our little one was not easy.  Grooming a purse-size dog is one thing, but when the "client" is the size of a steamer trunk it requires an entirely different mindset.

That's why we count ourselves lucky to have found Michelle.

From the very beginning, Michelle Maxwell was not intimidated by Ronin's size and they took to one another right away so much so that when we drop him off he is not the least bit concerned that we leave him.  In fact, he doesn't give us a second look.

Michelle now works with Bath & Biscuits in Granville and they have kindly donated a gift certificate for our auction.

If you like to bathe your dog, you can use one of their tubs.  If you want to have a pro take care of your best friend, we cannot recommned Michelle highly enough.

Bath & Biscuits is located at 1616 Columbus Rd, in Granville.
