Dog Grooming - What To Expect

Dog grooming is one of the services that your pet daycare facility may offer. Grooming will increase your pet's comfort, plus ensure that their skin and fur remain healthy.

Routine Care

Dog grooming is a task that some pet owners may not have time to conduct. When pets are not groomed properly, they tend to shed. Long strands of fur can become knotted. This could result in it being difficult to brush a pet's fur in the future. Routine care improves the condition of a pet's coat. It also prevents parasites from infesting the fur. Routine care should be conducted on a monthly basis.

Some pet breeds may require more care than others. To determine how often your pet should be groomed, consult with your pet's veterinarian. The dog breed that you own, plus the physical status of your pet, will have a bearing on how often you should schedule grooming sessions.

Grooming Aids

The facility that provides care services for your pet may feature a dog salon. The salon is where the groomers will perform all of the grooming essentials. Clippers, shampoo, conditioning agents, sinks, drying equipment, and scissors may be used during a grooming session.

A groomer will use quality products and grooming equipment to care for a wide range of dog breeds. The grooming aids will be available for use during every grooming session that your dog incurs.

A Consultation

When you are ready to make an appointment for your dog to receive grooming services, you may be required to consult with a groomer first. This consultation allows the groomer to learn what type of expectations you have.

The groomer will ask you about the grooming preferences that you have. They will also inquire about any skin conditions, allergies, fur problems, or other issues that could alter the manner in which your dog is groomed.

The Appointment

The pet care facility may allow you to schedule the grooming session during a time when your pet will already be spending time at the facility. If you work outside of your home, you may appreciate the convenience of having your dog groomed during a normal time when your pet will be monitored at the care facility.

You can also schedule an appointment for any time of the day that the facility is open. You will need to supply your pet with a leash and pet carrier, prior to bringing them to the groomer.
