Getting ready for Grooming!

You, your groomer...and your dog...all want the experience of regular grooming to be stress-free! With both ideas from local groomers at 'Patcho's Grooming' and myself, we can help you to get your puppy or dog ready for grooming!

Many breeds require regular grooming, and almost all dogs need a good wash in a warm bath, with quality shampoos, coat and/or skin conditioning products, a good brushing, and a nail trim on a regular basis, throughout their lives. Make early plans to both train your dog for grooming and for him to meet your groomer! You'll be working as a team to ensure your dog's coat, skin and nails are kept clean, healthy and looking fabulous!
