Finding the right groomer for your pet can take time, but it’s important to put a little care into who you choose.

Ask around, get feedback from real customers.

Check with friends, family, and website reviews.
Referrals from veterinarians or trainers that have worked with them are also beneficial.

Always have your pets vaccinations up to date, and records handy before scheduling.

This may and always should be required.

Ask questions and get the facts.☝️

Check for certifications- Are they licensed, or belong to any Professional Groomers Association?

What is provided in their service.

Nailtrims, ear cleanings, anal gland expressions?  While some groomers may ask if these are needed, some may just provide the service.

Do understand that some of these services take a real professional, or could cause more harm than good.  Never be afraid to say no when needed.

Some breeds take more care.

Is your particular breed something they are used to grooming or specialize in?

Groomers should know particular breeds, and how to clip and clean them, from double coats, to floppy ears, curly haired, or even trimming the moustache.
