Let’s talk about something that might ruffle a few feathers in the grooming industry 😏
Many of my clients know it’s the one thing I just won’t do and I won’t make my employees do!
We do not express a**l glands and it’s a decision we’ve made intentionally from the very beginning.
Many pet owners have been told it’s a routine part of grooming, but healthy dogs are designed to express their a**l glands naturally. When that’s not happening, there is often a bigger issue that deserves attention from a veterinarian.
Our goal has always been to provide the best care possible and I believe in educating my clients, that’s where I set my standards. My decisions aren’t based on industry habits they’re based on what I believe is in the best interest of the dog.
Sometimes doing what’s best for the dog means knowing where grooming ends and veterinary care begins. 🫶🏼✌🏼
