🚨STOP Making These 5 Puppy Grooming Mistakes! 🚨
If you’ve got a new puppy, grooming might not be the first thing on your mind—but trust us, it should be! Avoid these common mistakes to set your pup up for a lifetime of stress-free grooming. 🐶✂️
❌ Mistake #1: Waiting too long for the first groom.
Your pup’s first groom should be at 12 weeks! The earlier they start, the easier it is for them to feel comfortable with the process. A delayed first groom can lead to fear and anxiety later on!
❌ Mistake #2: Not brushing at home.
Regular brushing prevents matting and keeps grooming sessions quick and stress-free. Knots and tangles can be painful—so make brushing a fun part of your pup’s routine!
❌ Mistake #3: Choosing the wrong groomer.
Not all groomers are experienced with puppies! Look for a patient, puppy-friendly professional who understands how to introduce grooming gently and positively. (Like us! 😉)
❌ Mistake #4: Skipping nail trims.
Long nails aren’t just a cosmetic issue—they can cause pain, posture problems, and even joint issues. Regular trims keep your pup comfy and healthy!
❌ Mistake #5: Not booking regular appointments.
Grooming isn’t a one-time thing! Puppies need consistent, positive experiences to stay comfortable with the process. Start early, stay regular, and your pup will thank you!
