Hey fellow ferret enthusiasts!
Now that spring has arrived early, the time has come for our
annual "Spoil Your Ferret(s) Day"! Everybody else get's a day for
themselves so why not our "kids", and don't they deserve it?! What better
way to await the coming of May flowers than to bring your furkids in for a
spa experience! Who doesn't like a good pawdicure or body brush? How
about getting those pesky ears cleaned and checked?
Come out of hibernation and join us at the upcoming 'Ferret Rescue
Society Spa Day and ADV clinic' held on Sunday May 16, 2010 from 1:00PM –
5:00PM in Room 203 of the Jack Purcell Community Centre in downtown
Ottawa. The Jack Purcell Community Centre is located at 320 Jack Purcell
Lane, right off of Elgin Street.
Get an up to date ADV test just in time for the Spring Ferret Frolic and
for any of your summer ferret-sitting needs.
So don't delay...
RSVP to
spaday@ferretrescue.ca or call us at 613-296-4357 as soon as you
can.
If you would like to take part in this event, you can also help us out by

and indicate what you may be able to assist with.
* Don't forget, this is the only ADV clinic before the Spring Frolic! *
****Price List****
(the costs listed below are PER FERRET)
~ADV Test: $15
~Total Spa Package: $20
All the wonderful items listed below!
~Ear Treatment and Mite check: $5
Offer your fuzzbut the best in ear care. With the use of a ferret ear
cleaner (which promotes ear health and the prevention of ear mites) or
mineral oil, our volunteer will wash away dirt and wax build-up from your
ferret's ears.
Most ferrets will have ear mites (Otodectes cynotes) at some time in their
lives, no matter how often we clean their ears. By collecting some ear
debris and examining it under a microscope, our volunteers can detect ear
mites or even their eggs before they cause irritation
~Furdo and Conditioning: $5
Since the fall shedding season is upon us, why not let one of our
volunteers brush your ferret's coat? This is an important way to help
prevent hairballs that could eventually cause blockages in their
gastrointestinal tract.
Keep your ferret's coat soft, shiny, and sweet smelling with this ultimate
pampering for your companion! Using one of two (2) specially formulated
instant/dry application shampoos, we will give your fuzzy a dry-bath that
will gently loosen dirt, dissolve oils, and deodorize your ferret's skin
and coat. And since it's a dry bath, we're not stripping your ferret's
coat of its essential oils!
~Pawdicure: $5
Who doesn't like a manicure or pedicure? So why not offer your furry
companion on as well? Let one of our volunteers trim those nails before
they get snagged in their bedding.
~Dental Treatment: $5
Just like us, ferrets need to have their teeth brushed. Let a team of our
volunteers gently brush the sides and bottoms of their teeth in an effort
to maintain proper dental hygiene.
~Health Consultation: $5
Ever wonder if you were performing a certain grooming task properly? Ever
wonder if there was a little something extra you could do to maintain
and/or even enhance the general health of your companion? Bring those
questions with you while one of our volunteers takes a closer look at your
friend and provides you with some basic care hints/tricks.
