Before and after shots of one of our favorite clients, Nessie!
Grooming is so much more than a stylish haircut and a photo for social media, and Nessie is the perfect example.
Her regular 6-week schedule is important for her coat and skin health. When Nessie skips a groom or doesn’t stay on schedule, she gets hot spots under her ears and irritation on her paw pads from all of the things getting stuck in her paw fur. She takes longer to dry off after lake swimmies, and her skin gets irritated. When she stays on schedule, we’re able to mitigate the skin issues and keep her hot spots at bay.
When Ness started getting groomed, she would shake with anxiety. This is very common! Over time, she has become very comfortable with Brittney and the grooming process, and now she does much better. Our salon is a 1x1 environment, so she doesn’t get nervous with lots of other dogs in the space. We also used Suzie's CBD Treats to help ease her into the routine, and while she still loves the treats, we need them less when she’s in a regular routine.
Grooming is so much more than a cute haircut! If you’ve been considering a groom for your anxious pup, this is your sign 🩷 Call or text to get in the schedule!
