Tips For Selecting An Amazing Dog Groomer

Taking your beloved four-legged, furry bestie to a professional dog groomer is an important part of raising a healthy, well-adjusted companion and pet. Many people believe that a simple wash and dry in the backyard is enough to keep their pet clean. However, truth is that only a professional dog groomer truly has the experience and thorough service skills that are necessary to groom any breed of dog and help our prized canines to all live to their highest degree of cleanliness and overall well-being.

So … with so many groomers and dog boarding businesses offering their services in our modern world, it can be extremely hard to decide which would be the best fit for your companion. No worries, as we have supplied some important points to keep in mind when selecting a dog groomer to entrust your pet with.

• REPUTATION. Word of mouth is probably the most reliable method of judging a potential dog groomer's service. Pet owners love to talk about their companions and will usually be more than willing to refer you to their preferred groomer.  If you have a prospective groomer in mind, but have never met one of their clients, do not be discouraged. With today’s continually growing worldwide web, there is always a review available for the dog grooming service you are researching.

• ACCOUNTABILITY. A top-notch dog groomer should be completely transparent. If they have time, ask to have a brief tour of the grooming rooms. Be sure that they can pleasantly answer any questions or concerns that you may have, and that they have proper qualification certificates and or any training required by the state they practice in.

• FLEXIBILITY. Generally, it is best to defer to a professional's opinion on health and other such concerns. However, a groomer should be able to work with your input on cosmetic solutions. Using items such as a preferred shampoo or skin treatment can be done in lieu of the dog groomer's in shop brands. Stylistic concerns such as hair length and shape should be discussed beforehand, and be as specific as possible so that the groomer can understand and work with your input.

• DOCUMENTATION. A good groomer will put everything in writing; itemized services, prices, certifications, proof of vaccinations, observations of the animals behavior, etc. One of the best services that a groomer can provide is an informal inspection of the dog's health. If they noticed any odd sores, bumps, or odors they should advise you of what they observed so that you can take your pet to a veterinarian.

• COMFORT. This is highly subjective. When you bring your pet to the groomer, watch how it reacts. Watch how the groomer and your dog interact, and how comfortable your pet is in the setting. A comfortable dog will mean an easier time for everyone involved, yourself included.
