The eight-year-old Bichon, who celebrated her birthday just last week, is always ready to receive guests: from humans offering her a pat on the head, to nervous first-time canine visitors in for a day of pampering at the pet spa, to returning friends for some time at daycare. Her staff offers grooming - from breed standard to a practical pet clip - by experienced, professionally-trained pet stylists. They clip nails, clean ears or recommend special shampoos or products for specific needs, such as a dry coat, sensitive skin or a luxurious cleaning. Rosie enjoys sharing a secure outdoor play area with her friends on a break from their grooming regime or with her playmates in for daycare for a few hours or a full day. She offers a game of tag, exploring the scents or lounging on a grassy spot in the sun. Come in and visit this state-of-the-art facility. We can discuss your pet’s requirements to see what care will best serve you and your best friend’s needs. Rosie would love to meet you. Le Chien is located at 26 Central Ave. in the Wortendyke section of Midland Park. It is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
