DRYER TALK!
First and foremost, Penny does not like the Happy Hoodie — otherwise she would absolutely wear one for ear protection. Her comfort always comes first, and for Penny, keeping it off helps avoid unnecessary stress during the grooming process.
Penny has been coming in once a month for several years, but a huge part of her success also comes from the work her mom puts in at home. Regular bathing, brushing, and drying between appointments makes such a difference. Grooming is not just something that happens every 4-8 weeks at the salon — it’s an ongoing process built through consistency, trust, and positive exposure both at home and in professional settings.
Having a patient, gentle groomer your pet trusts is incredibly important, but pet parents play an equally important role. We may only see your pet for a few hours at a time, and there’s only so much we can accomplish in that window. The maintenance, repetition, and confidence-building done at home are what help pets truly feel safe, comfortable, and happy to enjoy their spa day. 🤍❤️🖤
