How much do dog groomers charge?
The charges for professional dog groomers depend on factors such as the dog's breed, size, coat condition, and the specific grooming service requested (e.g., full grooming, bath and dry, junior groom). Prices also vary based on location. Our service offers transparent pricing, and you can check prices and availability online to get a quote tailored to your pet's needs.
What’s the usual duration of a pet grooming service?
Although this will typically depend on the breed and the type of service you have booked, we usually ask that you allow us around three hours to wash, dry and cut their hair and nails.
What do I do if my dog’s hair is matted?
Most people would say that you will need to cut the dog’s hair if it’s matted or knots are allowed to develop. This can be unhealthy for the dog’s skin. What we do before the washing is brush out all the knots. However, this can sometimes be painful for your pet. If brushing out the knots fails, we may recommend cutting the fur shorter.
How is my pet dried?
We first start with a towel dry procedure, followed by a high-velocity dryer that gets rid of most of the water. After that, a stand dryer will be used. In all cases, we do our best to avoid stressing your pets out.
Do you bathe the dog first?
As part of the pet grooming process and to ensure we can get an even cut, the hair needs to be clean, so we always bathe the dog first.
How often should a dog go to a groomer?
The frequency a dog should go to a groomer largely depends on its breed, coat type, and lifestyle. For long-haired or curly-coated breeds, professional grooming every 4-6 weeks is often recommended to prevent matting and maintain coat health. Short-haired breeds may only need grooming every 2-3 months or seasonally for bathing and nail trims. Our service offers a range of pet grooming services tailored to suit the age and type of pet you have, allowing you to book as often as your pet requires to look its absolute best.
Do dogs feel better after grooming?
es, dogs typically feel much better after professional grooming. Removing mats can alleviate skin pulling and discomfort, a clean coat allows for better skin breathing, and trimmed nails prevent pain and improve mobility. The overall feeling of being clean, lightened from shed fur, and free from tangles contributes significantly to their physical comfort and psychological well-being. Our service aims to make grooming a pleasant experience, ensuring your pet looks and feels its absolute best.
What is the best dog grooming qualification?
While there are various qualifications available, the best dog grooming qualification typically involves comprehensive training that covers different breeds, coat types, grooming techniques, first aid, and animal welfare. Our professional groomers are well-trained, experienced, insured, and background-checked, ensuring they are equipped with the skills and knowledge to provide a safe and professional service tailored to your pet's needs and type of fur and nails.
Why is my dog so bad at the groomer?
A dog might behave poorly at the groomer due to a variety of reasons, including anxiety, fear, previous negative experiences, lack of early socialization to grooming, or underlying health issues. Some dogs may simply dislike being handled or confined. Our service aims to make grooming a pleasant experience, especially for young puppies, by introducing them gently to the process through playtime, bath time, and controlled drying. Providing a professional service without contact with other animals helps prevent unnecessary stress for your pet.
