Older dogs are extra special and deserve an extra level of respect in the salon. Here's what we do to keep them happy and comfortable:
1. sitting down is fine. if they want to lie down, sit down, nap, they can. I'll work around them.
2. comfort over style. Aching joints might mean styles are adjusted to accommodate. Poodles may not have shaved feet anymore if toes are arthritic. It may be that we clip off rather than spend ages sc******ng.
3. Happy hoodies, padded belly straps, squishy table mats. Everything to make it more comfortable for them.
4. longer appointments to accommodate naps OR quicker grooms to get them home and in a familiar environment faster. We work with the dog.
