My girl is booked into the Rattie Day Spa
LA VERNE, Calif. - Karri Garrison is getting rid of that cliche about dirty rats — one rodent at a time. Grooming isn‘t just for dogs anymore, and many pet owners are bringing in their rats to groomers like Garrison, who uses waterless shampoo to make their coats shine and smell sweet.
Grooming isn't just for dogs anymore, and many pet owners are bringing in their rats to groomers like Garrison, who makes their coats shine and smell sweet.
Customers at Katie's Pet Depot in La Verne, California, about 50 kilometres east of Los Angeles, began requesting rat grooming soon after the store opened nearly two years ago.
A $10 treatment includes clipping claws (tough, because of their small feet), spraying the rat with waterless shampoo, and using a product that kills fleas and mites.
"We need to be there for all our clients," Garrison said. "I think we might be the only place around that grooms rats."
Garrison and two other employees, Laurie Torres and Gloria Ferguson, also groom guinea pigs, mice, and rabbits.
"The most difficult part of grooming rats is trimming their nails," Garrison said. "They have very small feet."
"I love rats," she said. "It‘s an obsession to me. Sometimes when they get nervous they (urinate) but they don‘t usually bite. We know how to handle them because that‘s what we do."
Its the Essential Rattie Day Spa...
