I love being a groomer, and my clients are amazing. But over the last couple of days I have received messages from other groomers whose human clients are expecting far too much of their groomer.

Being a groomer can be very emotionally challenging, especially as the dogs get older, have medical conditions, don't enjoy the grooming process, etc., and putting unrealistic expectations on them takes a greater toll on that emotional aspect.

Often, as dogs get older or have health issue, the groom needs to be modified from a full groom to a welfare groom, where only essential grooming takes place, or the groom is completed over several sessions. Welfare needs to prioritise aesthetics. Pushing your groomer to do a full groom is not fair on either groomer or your canine companion.

Also, please consider the information you give to groomers. Please be honest, if you dog won't let you pick him up for example, or he bites when you try to brush him, then the groomer needs to know this before you book in.

Give as much information as possible about your dog that may impact on the groom, such as separation anxiety, touch sensitivity, resource guarding, general anxiety, noise sensitivities, allergies. All this is important information so that groomer can firstly decide whether they are not a good fit, secondly what precautions they may need to take, and finally how they can perform the groom in the least invasive way to keep your dog as calm as possible.

Thank you

I swear dogs just hunt me down. This sweet husky made it home safely though! He just wanted to stroll around the neighborhood and catch a ride home. ♥️
