Senior Dog appreciation post. 😊
Senior dogs have very specific needs for grooming, as your dog reach a certain age, the one thing I recommend the most is to focus on comfort and bring them less for grooming.
I know that might not be something I should say if I want to focus on profitability of our business but I know that is the right suggestion in this case.
Grooming is stressful, and for your senior pups, it takes a toll on them and keeping the visits at a minimum and stretching out the grooming schedule is almost always the best call.
How they look matters less at this stage. Its okay to have imperfect grooms, as long as their best interests in the focus on each visits. And sometimes we don’t even have to finish everything in one go. They decide what they can handle, and its our job to respect that and change grooming plans as we go.
Communication and collaboration is key between the groomer and the pet owners.
