Stay safe during this weekend’s winter storm.

Winter Storm is Coming Followed by an Arctic Cold Week.
Please, please keep your animals safe. This is not the time to Trust them.

Some safety tips :
-Keep pets on a leash. Even leash them in a fenced area this next week. The snow and ice can damage fences and your beloved pet can get out.

- Secure doggie doors.

-Don't let them out for even a quick minute off lead.

-Even if in a fenced area, stay with your pets. Yes it is cold, but it will be even colder if you have to spend hours searching for them.

-Put extra reminders by doors to secure animals before opening the door. Maybe put a chair in front of the door so it reminds you and your family (especially children) to be extra cautious.

-Make sure garage doors are all the way down before you open the house door.

-Our westies and their other white breed friends will be hard to find in the snow.

-Make all family members aware of these tips.

NOTE-Lost dog recovery specialists are already exhausted so let's make this snow storm one where we do our part so they can also stay safe and not have to go out looking for pets in this weather. Stay inside and cook your favorite meals, read a book, play fetch, snuggle with your fur babies and enjoy the beauty of this snow.

Just wanted to share that Chris Christensen will always be remembered as one of the greats in the grooming industry. Many Westie owners probably own a brush or other product with his name on it. RIP Chris and our condolences to his loved ones.

Cherrybrook Honors Chris Christensen

For over 20 years, Cherrybrook has had the privilege of partnering with Chris Christensen Systems - a name synonymous with excellence in the dog show world. Chris was more than an innovator; he was a true leader whose vision transformed grooming into an art form and elevated the standards of our industry.

From the show ring to the grooming table, Chris’s products and passion helped countless handlers and breeders present their dogs at their very best. His commitment to quality and his generosity of spirit made him a beloved figure in the dog show community.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Lisa Christensen and the entire family. Chris’s legacy will live on in every champion groomed with care and in every moment of pride experienced in the ring.

We invite our friends and customers to share your memories, photos, and stories of Chris in the comments below. Let’s celebrate the incredible impact he had on all of us.

Rest in peace, Chris. Thank you for inspiring us all.
