10 Mistakes Owners Make Between Grooming Appointments

At Fallbrook Pet Parlor, we know what you do between grooming appointments plays a big role in keeping your dog healthy, comfortable, and looking great. Many pet parents accidentally make small mistakes that can lead to matting, skin irritation, or discomfort. Here are 10 common mistakes—and how to fix them—to keep your pup happy until their next visit to the best dog grooming Fallbrook has to offer.

1️⃣ Skipping Brushing Altogether
The Mistake: Not brushing your dog regularly between grooming appointments.
The Fix: Brush your dog every other day, or daily for breeds with long or curly coats, to prevent painful mats and keep their fur healthy.

2️⃣ Using Human Shampoo
The Mistake: Bathing your dog with your own shampoo or soap.
The Fix: Human products can dry out or irritate your dog’s skin. Always use shampoos formulated for dogs—just like the gentle, all-natural products we use at Fallbrook Pet Parlor.

3️⃣ Ignoring Mats Until They’re Severe
The Mistake: Letting mats grow tighter and larger, thinking they’ll come out on their own.
The Fix: Tackle small tangles right away with a slicker brush or detangling spray. If mats get too tight, call your professional groomer at Fallbrook Pet Parlor—never try to cut them out yourself.

4️⃣ Overbathing
The Mistake: Bathing your dog too frequently.
The Fix: Too many baths can strip essential oils and dry out the skin. Aim for every 4–6 weeks or stick to your professional grooming schedule.

5️⃣ Forgetting Nail Trims
The Mistake: Letting nails grow long enough to click on floors or curl.
The Fix: Regular nail trims—about every 4–6 weeks—are essential for paw health and comfort. Schedule a quick trim with Fallbrook Pet Parlor, your trusted dog grooming near me.

6️⃣ Not Cleaning Ears
The Mistake: Skipping regular ear cleaning, which can lead to wax buildup or infections.
The Fix: Clean ears once a week with a vet-recommended cleaner, especially for floppy-eared breeds. Never insert cotton swabs deep into the ear canal.

7️⃣ Using Dull Brushes or Tools
The Mistake: Brushing with worn-out or damaged tools that pull hair or scratch skin.
The Fix: Replace grooming brushes when they lose their shape or effectiveness to keep grooming comfortable for your dog.

8️⃣ Letting Tear Stains Build Up
The Mistake: Ignoring tear stains on light-coated dogs.
The Fix: Gently wipe your dog’s eyes daily with tear stain wipes or a soft cloth to keep their face clean and healthy.

9️⃣ Skipping Flea & Tick Prevention
The Mistake: Assuming your dog won’t pick up pests between grooms.
The Fix: Fleas and ticks can appear anytime—keep your dog on a year-round preventative for their health and comfort.

🔟 Not Scheduling Regular Grooming
The Mistake: Waiting until your dog looks messy or smells bad before calling the groomer.
The Fix: Schedule your next appointment with Fallbrook Pet Parlor before you leave your current one to maintain a consistent grooming routine—your dog (and your furniture!) will thank you.

Most cat owners assume their feline friends are completely self-sufficient when it comes to grooming. After all, they spend hours licking their fur clean, right? While it’s true that cats are naturally tidy animals, self-grooming doesn’t take care of everything—especially when it comes to shedding, matting, and skin health.

At Fallbrook Pet Parlor, we specialize in making both cats and dogs feel their very best. Whether your kitty is a short-haired sunbather or a fluffy long-haired lap cat, here’s why a professional grooming session might be exactly what they need.

1. Reduce Hairballs (and Your Cleaning Time)
When cats groom themselves, they end up swallowing a lot of loose fur—which usually results in messy, not-so-pleasant hairballs. Regular grooming with a professional helps minimize shedding and fur ingestion, so your cat (and your carpet) stays cleaner.

2. Say Goodbye to Mats and Tangles
Matting can happen fast, especially with long-haired cats or older kitties who may not groom as thoroughly. Mats can be painful and even lead to skin problems if left untreated. At Fallbrook Pet Parlor, we’re trained to gently remove mats and prevent them from coming back.

3. Less Shedding Around Your Home
A professionally brushed and bathed cat means less fur floating around your home. Our grooming process removes the loose hair before it ends up on your couch, clothes, or favorite black leggings.

4. Spot Skin Issues Early
Our groomers don’t just bathe and brush—we also check your cat’s skin and coat for any unusual bumps, fleas, dryness, or irritations. Regular grooming is a great way to keep tabs on your cat’s overall health and catch potential issues early.

5. Help Your Cat Feel More Comfortable
Some cats might be nervous their first time, but with regular visits, most start to feel more relaxed. Grooming helps your cat feel fresher, lighter, and more comfortable—especially in warmer weather or for senior cats who can’t clean themselves as well anymore.

6. Because Cats Deserve Spa Days Too
Your cat may act cool and aloof, but trust us—they love feeling clean and pampered. Whether it’s a simple nail trim, a sanitary clean-up, or a full grooming session, your kitty will walk out of Fallbrook Pet Parlor looking fabulous and feeling even better.

The Emotional Impact of a Clean Pet: Grooming as Self-Care

When pet parents search for "dog grooming near me," they’re usually focused on finding a trusted local spot to get their pup cleaned up. But here at Fallbrook Pet Parlor, we know that grooming is about so much more than a clean coat—it’s emotional wellness for your dog.

As a leading name in Fallbrook dog grooming, we’ve seen countless transformations: dogs walking in stressed, matted, or sluggish and walking out confident, playful, and proud. That’s the power of proper grooming. It’s not just vanity—it’s vitality.

Confidence Starts with Comfort
Imagine wearing the same sweater for months without washing it—itchy, heavy, and just plain uncomfortable. That’s what un-groomed dogs feel like. Tangled fur and overgrown nails can affect how your dog moves, plays, and even interacts with others.

After a spa day at Fallbrook Pet Parlor, many dogs act like a weight has been lifted—literally. We’ve seen shy pups come to life and older dogs move easier. When they feel better, they behave better.

Grooming = Rest + Relaxation
Irritated skin, dirty ears, or long nails can make a dog restless. A proper groom removes irritants and relieves discomfort, helping your pup relax. Pet parents often tell us, “She always sleeps like a baby after her appointment.”

We love hearing that—because it means we’re doing more than grooming; we’re improving quality of life. That’s the Fallbrook dog grooming difference.

Gentle Hands, Familiar Faces
Dogs thrive on routine and trust. When they come to Fallbrook Pet Parlor, they begin to recognize the scents, the voices, and the loving touch of our groomers. That familiarity builds trust over time.

And touch matters. Grooming isn’t just physical—it's emotional. Brushing, washing, drying—these are all bonding experiences that help dogs feel secure and cared for.

It's More Than a Bath—It's Self-Care
A good grooming experience is like a mini-retreat for your pet. It boosts their confidence, calms their nerves, and strengthens the bond between you and your dog.

So the next time you search “dog grooming near me,” remember: the goal isn’t just to look good—it’s to feel great. And at Fallbrook Pet Parlor, we’re committed to helping your dog feel their very best.

No one does more for our Fallbrook animals and community that Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary! And here again they are making a difference one pet at a time...if you can give anything to help it will go a long long way. Little Rowan has survived against all odds and every little bit helps pay the bills to keep helping her and so many other animals ❤️

Welcome to the FAS Family to Rowan 💕

On Tuesday morning, this little 7-8 week old kitten was hit by a car. Thankfully the car didn’t run her over but it did hit her and send her flying. She crawled into some bushes where we were able to grab her. She was in shock and at one point we thought she had passed. She was rushed to our vet where they immediately got her stabilized. A full exam and X-rays were done where it was found that she had no internal injuries or broken bones, possibly a couple cracked ribs. They are also concerned about TBI, traumatic brain injury.

Rowan spent the night at our vets clinic. She received IV fluids, heat support, pain meds and steroids. We had to wait and see how she was Wednesday morning. By the next morning she was awake and hungry and even gave the staff at our vets office a few hisses. We were able to bring her to FAS Wednesday afternoon and we got her all tucked in with all the food she could want. She eats like she has never eaten before.

Rowan does have a head tilt to the left and she seems to favor that left side but she can move all of her legs. We think the car hit her left side and if those 2 ribs are cracked that must be very painful. We are giving her pain meds to keep her comfortable and we will see how she does.

If you would like to help us help Rowan and other animals like her who need emergency medical care, please donate to our Winslow’s Warriors Emergency Medical Fund. We can’t continue to save animals like Rowan without your support.

We present to you this dapper gentleman, Walter!! 🎩🐕
Walter is the sweetest boy who, historically, needs to be decently medicated for services relating to his health & grooming. His incredible owners are so conscientious about safety, and we got to have a very thorough intake with them about Walter's needs and quirks.
Walter came into our salon with about half of the prescribed medication he normally needs for visits like this one, and did AMAZING with us yesterday! We are so grateful to be able to earn the trust of him & his family to ensure we can provide comprehensive services that he'll need for his whole life 💕🐾
At Fallbrook Pet Parlor, it is our commitment to be the groomers that make a difference for your pet; we will always be comprehensive about your pets' behavioral & grooming needs, as well as exhaust all options at our disposal to make sure they have a safe, and happy groom with us. Not to mention that this impressive coat of his was ready for a thorough summertime de-shed!
We are so thankful to have the facility, resources, training & experience to support dogs like Walter, and look forward to making grooming even more consistent and better for him with each visit!
