Hello Pups and Kittens and welcome back to The Groomer Next Door. This week we have a great show for you. We invite you into our salon with our WEEKLY ROUNDUP. We move on to GND News. RECALL POLICE stop by with some helpful information. GUESS THE BREED has Sarah returning. We share a special announcement on A MOMENT WITH CLAIRE.

Our main story is something Sarah and I deal with. Our Akita has terrible allergies and this week she needed to go to the vet. Every 6 months she needs a shot because her skin allergies are terrible.

So What Substances Can Dogs Be Allergic to?

A few common allergens include:

°Tree, grass and weed pollens *Mold spores
