How to Prepare Your Dog
for a Grooming Appointment

Grooming is an essential part of your dog’s routine, but for some pups, it can be a stressful experience. Here are a few simple steps to help make their grooming session smooth and stress-free:

1. Start with At-Home Handling

Get your dog used to being touched on their paws, ears, and tail by gently handling these areas at home. This will help them feel more comfortable when a groomer does the same.

2. Exercise Before the Appointment

A short walk or play session can help burn off excess energy, making your pup more relaxed during grooming.

3. Bring Their Favorite Treats

Rewarding your dog with treats before and after their appointment creates a positive association with grooming.

4. Choose the Right Grooming Schedule

Different breeds have different grooming needs. Long-haired breeds may need more frequent grooming than short-haired ones, so consult with your groomer to establish the best schedule.

5. Stay Calm and Confident

Dogs pick up on their owner’s energy, so if you remain calm and upbeat, your pup will be more likely to do the same.

A little preparation goes a long way in making grooming a positive experience for your dog. Schedule an appointment today and let our professional groomers give your pup the care they deserve!
