What is "The Love for Pets Project"

"The Love for Pets Project":

YGAPS takes great pride in caring for the pets of this world. We are a great pet sitting program that offers grooming and pet photography. A very well packaged service for families who love their pets tremendously and want them to be in the best of care while they are away. Well, we have come across some issues with pets in need and decided to start a project called "The Love for Pets Project".

One of our serious issues are pets in dying urgency need of grooming, beds, clothing, food and emergency care. Could be a pet lost in this world who never seen a comb or a neglected pet in dying need of some grooming attention. These pets in such need would be considered an emergency mainly placed in shelters and would get free treatment assistance. These pets that come in from off the street or from being saved by pet savers need special attention such as grooming, clothing and food along with emergency supplies. Their coats may be severely matted to the point we might just have to shave them.

Owners with pets with severely damaged fur will receive special discounted prices on services for their pets for first visit ONLY!!! If your dog is matted, the kindest thing to do is simply to shave it off and start over. If it's cold, put a sweater on her/him. If it's hot, be sure to keep her/him out of direct sunlight to prevent sunburn.

The Problem:
There comes a time when a dog has matted hair and you need to make a decision: demat or shave? This depends on the degree of matting. If the matting isn't too severe, sometimes we can comb out the mats with a little work. If the matting is extensive or very tight, the most humane thing to do is shave them off and start over. Matted hair is painful and uncomfortable for a dog.


Dematting, if done carefully, is time-consuming to say the least, and can be uncomfortable for the dog. Once hair becomes damaged, you cannot reverse damage to the hair shaft. We have to remove it, just as your beautician removes split ends on your hair.

There are numerous sprays, conditioners, and shampoos that can aid in mat removal, but there is no grooming shortcut for making the mats fall out. Mat removal can be done by anyone willing to do it.

Allergies and scratching, fleas and biting, and bathing the dog without combing out can all cause matted hair. Keeping up with regular grooming, bathing, brushing, and excellent nutrition are the cornerstones of healthy hair.

I'm also offering to make bedding, clothing, winter coats, socks and scarfs for all these fur babies in need and need everyone's help possible to make this happen by donating your old clothing, blankets, pillows, towels, anything and everything you can offer.

The Solution and how you can help:
So now you are a bit familiar with all the steps we take in caring for a pet in desperate need. Now is your part. Rather you wanna donate to our project or bring a pet in that is severely in need, you have a mission as a pet lover. We need the funding to ensure we have the proper equipment to care for these pets. So we are calling on all pet lovers to help join a special project to obtain such equipment by donating.
