Especially senior dogs - the added stress to make their haircut “perfect” isn’t worth the risk it can pose to their wellbeing. Sometimes as long as your dog is clean and matt-free, that’s the main goal and aesthetics are bottom of the priority list.
Listen to your groomer! They care deeply about your dog’s physical and psychological safety 🩷💚
‘Well my old groomer could always get that done’
‘The vet never has an issue with that’
‘He lets me do it at home’
I’m a comfort groomer💕
What I mean by that is I’m not going to push any dog past their comfort zone, or stress them out to get a perfect outcome.
I’m not going to fully restrain your dog if they’re stressed. I’m not going to force the blow dryer if they really don’t like it. I’m not going to risk getting hurt, or your dog getting hurt to get a perfect haircut.
If your dog is frustrated or overwhelmed, they get a break. If I get frustrated or overwhelmed, I take a break.
Of course I would LOVE to achieve that perfect fluffy finish every single time. But sometimes the kindest thing I can do is accept that today, it might not be possible
A perfect haircut will never be more important to me than your dog’s wellbeing🐾
I treat every dog that comes through my door the way I would want my own dogs to be treated❤️ I would never want my dogs pushed to their absolute limit, frightened or made to feel uncomfortable just for the sake of how they look.
So if your dog leaves me looking a little less than perfect, please know that their comfort, safety and happiness will always come first💫
