cutey keo
This 15 year old blue Persian is the lovely Keo. Keo has been with his dad and housemate for a number of years now, and really does have the life of Riley ! He is adored, and he knows it.
We called in to see Keo as he had developed some matted areas around his body that needed some attention. The usual places – mainly on the lower back, flanks, underneath and around the rear end. Also, on his legs and feet. You can see from the photo on the left, how the coat particularly around the backend didn’t sit flush. Keo wasn’t too keen on the idea, but under protest, let us get to work and rid him of most of the mats.
It was a hot day, and clearly going back underneath to complete the clipping, followed by a brush out would have been a little too much so we decided to call the session to a halt and resume at a later date.
A week or so later – back on the grooming table – Keo was a different guy. Reports from dad said that since the first visit Keo had been much happier, more interactive and more playful again. Obviously, feeling much happier about himself. This second session was calm and relaxed and we finished off without any fuss. There was still quite some work to do – mainly around the legs and feet, and a brush out of his remaining coat – but Keo took it all in his stride. He’ll feel much more comfy now he’s clear, and the coat can start to grow back nicely.
After the session, dad Colin told us :
“Thank You Sandra for looking after Mr Keo …… He is a lot happier in himself since your visit and he has even been out and about enjoying the sunshine so he must be feeling a lot cooler since his groom …. And he is sorry for any scratching and biting – he didn’t mean it really 😉 “
Fantastic …. This is the feedback we love to hear ! So pleased that you are obviously much happier with your new bod, Keo. Hope you can now enjoy your 1:1 combing sessions with dad going forward …
