What all happens at a grooming appointment?
A lot!
First we assess your pets skin and coat, identify and remove any matting and identify any existing lumps, bumps, wounds or skin issues.
During the bath your groomer selects a shampoo that is appropriate for the condition and needs of your pets’ skin and coat. When we are shampooing your dog they are bathed 2-3 times or as many times as necessary in order to provider properly clean skin and coat.
Next your groomer selects a conditioner that suits the needs of the pets skin and coat and/or that will help provide the best blow-dry outcome.
Then we move over to the drying table where the dog is thoroughly towel dried and given scritches all over, and then gently introduced to our blowdryers and thoroughly dried, brushed, combed and prepared for their haircut.
Most of our clients find it easiest to keep an approximately two month grooming frequency to maintain their pets coat in good condition, but also to help keep the pet comfortable and familiar with this very necessary process to reduce stress/fear.
If you have any questions reach out to us Monday - Friday from 8:30-4 at 705-457-0634, and leave a message… if we missed you we are probably blowdrying someones dog!
