When Zelda first arrived at the Battersea Old Windsor rescue center, she was in a very sorry state. She was an 11-month-old Cockapoo and her fur was heavily matted and full of sores, which made it difficult for her to even see the world around her.
The charity's staff sprang into action and gave her a much needed makeover. They carefully clipped down her coat and removed almost a kilo of hair, which made her feel much lighter and brighter. Zelda's personality started to shine through as her confidence grew. She loves nothing more than receiving lots of attention and fuss from her favorite people.
The pup was also an adventurous one, and she enjoyed going on walks with her canine friends and exploring new smells. After a few weeks, she caught the attention of her new owners and she was whisked off to start a new life in London.
Clare Penman, Groomer at Battersea Old Windsor, said: “Regular grooming is so important to keep your dog happy and healthy. When a dog’s fur mats it causes discomfort and can also trap moisture, leading to irritation and sores on their skin, as well as hiding bacteria, fleas and ticks. To prevent matting, she recommends regular brushing and choosing the right brush for your dog’s fur type, alongside ensuring to wash out dirt after muddy walks.”
Zelda's transformation is a testament to the power of love and care. She is almost unrecognizable from the pup that first arrived at the rescue center. Now she is happily living with her new family, enjoying lots of lap time and zooming around the garden with her Jack Russell friend.
