When you make a grooming appointment for your dog, there are a few things you can do before and after to help make the experience more pleasant for both you and your dog.

Before the Appointment:

  • Grooming can be stressful for some dogs, so it's important to get them used to it ahead of time. Start by brushing your dog's fur regularly—this helps them get used to being touched and keeps their fur healthy and tangle-free.
  • Prepare your dog mentally by creating positive associations with grooming tools. For puppies, this is especially important for long-term comfort.
  • Exercise your dog before the appointment to help them be calmer during grooming.
  • Bring your dog's favorite treats to help create positive associations.
  • Arrive on time to avoid unnecessary stress for both you and your dog.

After the Appointment:

  • Allow your dog to rest after grooming as the process can be tiring.
  • Monitor your dog for any signs of discomfort or irritation.
  • Follow any specific care instructions provided by your groomer.
  • Maintain regular grooming schedules to keep your dog comfortable and healthy.
