Puppies 🐶 🐾♥️🛁🧼✂️
When should my puppy have a groom?
below is a great post regarding this I encourage all puppies especially ones who will be needing lots of scissor work in the future to visit once they are fully vaccinated after all the “haircut✂️” isn’t the main reason I ask for you attend it’s also for their skin, nails , ear cleaning getting used to being with someone other than their family and socialisation as well as many more reasons below 👇
It’s to help your dog with the grooming environment which may after all smell very foreign to them
Smell is very important to dogs imagine what they will smell for example new dogs, shampoo , sprays cleaners people who’ve been there prior to them a whole lot of p*e p*e ha aha ha
Also sounds of the dryers , clippers scissors brushes combs other dogs barking me talking or somtimes singing ha aha
Touch and being up on the table is also unusual to them many many other reasons other than the hair cut “my dogs hair isn’t long yet” is the comment I hear a lot and again I ask you to read above 👆
Puppy’s need to bond with me or your groomer of your choice giving their trust to someone other than you is hard so please when you think of their big day at the groomers think past the hair & think more of their emotional well being too their feelings of what else they are exposed too
Being a pet guardian is more than stopping their hair matting it’s making sure ALL their needs are met 🐾♥️
So after they are fully vaccinated at 12-14weeks you are more than welcome to come for the PUPPY SPA INTRODUCTION 🐾🧼🛁🌱
Yes please to starting that grooming process early. Get used to brushing at home and understand the skin. My webinar with Jo Angus will help you with maintenance of the coat and skin. https://www.animallovepetfirstaid.co.uk/educational-webinars
It is so very important to start early, also the groomer/dog relationship will be a more united one if you introduce them as soon as possible.
Please do not leave these poor dogs to get matted and dislike something that is important for them for the rest of their lives. It may seem like its just hair, but that hair needs to be cared for to help skin health.
