Just a bit about who we are and what you can expect from us. FurBaby Grooming, LLC is proud to be your local full service one stop shop for Professional Holistic Groomers & Hygienists.
Holistic grooming is the practice of grooming your pet in a stress-free environment in order to provide optimal health for both body and mind.
Puppy grooms are critical in developing trust between groomer and puppy. A puppy’s first groom should be between 3 and 4 months. The first few visits to the groomer should be limited to 30 to 60 minutes and should only include a bath with slow introductions to the dryer, clippers and shears. The groomer should allow time to interact with the puppy with lots of positive reinforcement for good behavior. Trust and mutual respect developed early between groomer and puppy provides for a lifelong, stress-free relationship.
For a healthy body:
Natural products free of harsh chemicals.
The most costly expense to a grooming salon is the products used on your dog.
Holistic groomers understand that high quality products are essential for a healthy skin and coat, and will not compromise health for cost. Communicate with your holistic groomer any skin sensitivities your pet has. Look for products free of sulfates and artificial fragrances and colorings that can cause dry itchy skin and/or breakouts when buying products to use at home.
Nutritional expertise:
Holistic Groomers have a strong background and interest in nutrition and will help provide you with sound advice on the best diet and supplements specific to your pet.
Who sees deeper into your dogs skin, mouth, ears, nails and a**l glands more than a groomer? Experienced holistic groomers have a history of seeing many aliments and have seen the successes of recommending tailored diets and supplements to promote an overall healthier pet. Through proper diet and supplements you can improve your pet’s quality of life with a healthier skin and coat, cleaner teeth, reduced ear infections and tear stains, and fewer a**l gland issues.
For a healthy mind:
No Cage Drying!
Cage dryers are the leading cause of death in grooming salons, yet they are used on over 80 percent of dogs groomed nationwide.
A cage dryer is an automatic coat dryer that hangs on the door of a cage and blows directly on a caged dog. More invasive is the “hot box” cage drying units that include plexiglass for the cage walls to prevent the blown air from escaping. Most dogs are extremely fearful of cage dryers as it is very difficult for them to breathe. Lack of fresh air causes labored breathing and rapid heartbeat, which can lead to a heart attack in your dog. Cage dryers cause extreme anxiety, which develops into a lifelong fear of grooming.
Alternatively, a velocity dryer should be used and hand operated so caution can be made in sensitive areas. If your dog has been exposed to a cage dryer and has now developed a fear of grooming, seek out a holistic groomer who can rehabilitate your dog to alleviate the fear with a slow introduction to a more humane way of drying.
Quality Over Quantity:
Many salons have an assembly line model that requires you to drop off early and pick up 6-8 hours later. The purpose is to allow bathers to pre-wash your pet and place in cage dryers for long periods of time until the dog is dry. This hands-off procedure allows the groomers to knock off more dogs, creating a more profitable business.
Holistic groomers will take in one dog at a time with the professional groomer working hands-on from bath to drying to haircut,
one on one from start to finish.
Groomers remain stress-free & balanced.
Dogs are extremely intuitive to our emotions. They pick up the chemicals we excrete from our bodies created from our own emotions. They know when we exhibit stresses because of anger, frustration or feeling rushed. In a pack mentality, a dog interprets these stresses as unbalanced and they begin to lose confidence and trust in us as their pack leader. It is critical that a groomer practice mind balancing techniques before beginning any groom and maintain this balance throughout the entire groom.
Here at FurBaby Grooming, LLC we treat every dog as if they are the only dog in the world and we strive to provide the most stress free and relaxing environment for them possible.
We use a variety of holistic techniques including but not limited to:
Diffusers with high quality natural oils proven to calm and relax, Soothing calm music, Hemalayan salt rock lamps to promote positive ions in the air, Positive thoughts massages with 100% all natural and certified organic products, Soft tender voices, No cages, Force free grooming and so much more. If you have any questions about our grooming styles and services, please don't hesitate to ask.
Thank You for your business and your continued support!
