Canine Company Treats Newly Graduated Guiding Eyes Dogs to Spa Day

Eleven members of the graduating guide dog class at Guiding Eyes for the Blind were treated to a special “spa day” this week, courtesy of Wilton CT-based Canine Company. The dogs will soon be off to their new homes with a person who is blind or visually impaired.

“Guiding Eyes for the Blind appreciates the support and services Canine Company provides for our guide dogs.” Says Guiding Eyes Vice President of Development, Linda Press “ We want to send our dogs into their new homes looking and feeling their best. Canine Company’s Mobile Spa and their team of professional gave each dog individual attention and grooming services to ready them for their important future.”

This is the second year Canine Company’s Mobile Spa visited at the Guiding Eyes campus in Yorktown to give doggy makeovers. The team of groomers gave each dog a shampoo and moisturizing treatment, nail trim, ear cleaning and more.

“We’ve been a long-time supporter of Guiding Eyes for the Blind, and saw this as a way to do something more,” said Jennifer Hill, President and CEO of Canine Company. “Our mobile grooming spa serves Westchester County, so we thought this would be a wonderful way to celebrate the important work of these amazing dogs and demonstrate our commitment to this great cause.”
