Pet Center to refer to the process of ridding the coat of excess dead hair...more

HEALTH FOODS FOR PETS
Transformation Pet Center was the first outlet in Tucson to offer healthy choices in dog and cat food. We started in 1983 way
before health foods for pets became a trend. Since then we have constantly examined our choices of what we carry and have
maintained a critical eye on the products that manufacturers are offering. Current products include: Wysong, "the thinking person's
pet food" - we carry the entire line as our flagship food; Breeders' Choice Pinnacle, Natural Balance Ultra Premium and Duck & Potatoe;
OHM Wellness Fish & Sweet Potatoe, and Innova Canine & Feline. Recently we picked up the Eagle Holistic Brand dry cat food. Unlike
the large superstores who purchase by the truckload, we maintain a small inventory that turns over on a monthly basis.
GROOMING PRODUCTS AND TOOLS
We've chosen grooming aids that have proved worthy in our grooming operation. We can take the guess work out of purchasing tools
and products and help you select those items that will work best for you and your pet(s). Attention groomers! We carry Arius-Eickert fine
shears and Scissorman Therapeutic shears for you. Give us a call and we will schedule a time to come to you with our tool box full of
scissors. We can have a scissor party! While we're there, we can also demo our Bathing Beauty recirculating bathing system. Bring
your tub out of the Dark Ages!
TICK AND FLEA CONTROL
We have spent years wrestling with choices in the battle with fleas and ticks. Years ago we became uncomfortable with the toxic chemicals
that were standard in dips. Our commitment is to find and offer only those products which we consider the least toxic and the most effective.
You won't find "strong", highly toxic, petrochemical products, nor will you find alternatives that we consider useless. Our products have been
used on our own pets!
GEAR
We offer a fine selection of pet gear that we think is particularly attractive and well made. Check out the Cetacea "Step-in" harness.
Did you ever think your dog's harness was designed as some cruel intelligence test? I did, so I jumped on this fool-proof design and then
discovered the great safety features for your dog. At last a harness where you can adjust the shoulder piece independently of the girth piece!
This is as close to escape-proof as we can get.
The Cetacea Martingale collars also have great safety value. This collar wears like a regular collar but has a limited slip feature which allows it
to tighten up behind the ears if the dog puts on the brakes and tries to duck out of the collar. No more standing there with an empty leash and
collar while your dog runs off.
Our other leashes and collars are selected for design value. We offer items that you don't find in the superstores. Distinguished gear for your special pet!

 Schnauzers were the first breed I learned to groom.
They often come in pairs. When they live together, they start to look alike. This is either Heidi or Schatzie Grace in a short pet trim.

Puppies like little Yeti are
given exxxtra special care and a loving beginning to the grooming part of
life. Our emphasis is on getting acquainted with the groomer and the
procedures. It is really best when puppies come for their first grooming
around 12-16 weeks old. This is the best time for all socialization to
occur. A special puppy session will last only an hour or two at the most. |
