Choosing the right groomer is a bit like choosing the right hairdresser for yourself - it can be hard to find someone who just gets it RIGHT every time 💇🏼♀️✔️
Apart from the obvious skill + experience, there are 5 key things you should look for in a groomer that will make a huge difference to your dog’s overall experience:
1️⃣ They’re not in a rush - they work at your dog’s pace, not the other way round! This helps your dog to feel calm and secure every step of the way.
[📝 Psst, did you know, at ED you can book your dog in for daycare on the same day as a groom? So you can drop your dog off in the morning, and when you return not only do they look great, but they’ve had a fun day too! No waiting around for you, and a nice chilled out experience for your pooch.]
2️⃣ They’re big on little details - not just a quick once over! Groomers often have more opportunity than anyone else to get a good close look at a dog’s’ coat, claws and skin. A good groomer will care enough not only to pay attention, but to flag any issues with you that might be worth raising with the vet.
📝 We offer free claw trims with every groom - which is important year round!
3️⃣ They keep their environment clean, calm and relaxed - because they know how intuitive dogs are. Vibes are everything!
4️⃣ They genuinely love dogs and take time to understand them. A good groomer must be someone who genuinely loves the company of dogs - otherwise they’d have gone into human hairdressing instead!
5️⃣ They care about how your dog FEELS - moments for hugs and pats, reassuring and calm voices, and a little treat here and there go a long way to creating a positive experience your pooch will be happy to return to time and time again.
At Everything Dog, we’re proud to offer all of the above - and more, but our service books out FAST! If you get in quick. You might be able to snag a last minute spot for June.
