Read MoreChoosing the right person to be your pet’s groomer is very important, and can seem like a daunting task. This article will help simplify the process by highlighting some of the most important questions to ask and things to look for when choosing your next pet groomer.
Your groomer is vital to your pet’s happiness and health. Where your pet may see their vet once or twice a year for check ups, your groomer is there every few months giving them a full once over. Groomers are responsible for so much more than a bath and hair cut. They maintain ear, teeth, nail and skin health; frequently checking for any new abnormalities such as suspicious lumps and keeping an eye on existing issues, notifying you of changes. This is why it is so important to find a dedicated professional to care for your pets grooming needs; and here is how you can make sure you’re getting the best your town has to offer.
If at all possible, watch your kitty being groomed. This way you will have the opportunity to check out how your kitty is being treated. The very best way to find a groomer who’s grooming style matches your personal preferences is to ask for a referral from a neighbor, friend or co-worker if you have admired their pets grooming. Next, get your list of questions ready.
What is your grooming experience and how long have you been in this business?
Something to keep in mind is that there are no state or national boards to hold groomers to any set standards (like there is in cosmetology) so knowledge and experience can vary drastically. There are organizations and clubs groomers can pay to join but this does not necessarily make them the best option. This also means there is no health board to make sure the salon is clean and bacteria free.
