Grooming Tips

Grooming Tip #1: Clips vary depending on the season

Colder Weather:

You may want to keep your dogs coat longer. To maintain coat health and length, regular brushing is vital. We can assist you with our Wash & Tidy service which includes washing, full-coat grooming, face, feet & groin tidy, nail clipping and ear cleaning. For an additional charge, why not spoil your dog with an aromatherapy treatment, or use this as an opportunity to worm your dog.

Warmer Weather:

In Adelaide we enjoy long periods of warm weather which can have an impact on your pet if they are not regularly groomed. Your dog will continually seek cooler areas such as tiled floors, bathrooms etc. and this is a clear sign they are overdue for a clip to keep them cool. We can provide a range of different clips that are various lengths, just speak to one of our friendly staff to discuss the options available for your pet. Keeping your pet comfortable during the hot weather doesn't mean they have to be bald!

Grooming Tip #2: What to look for when selecting a grooming studio

Selecting a pet groomer is just as important as selecting your own hairdresser. You should be able to communicate with the groomer, giving them instructions about exactly what you require. Important questions your groomer should ask you include:

• Does your animal have any allergies or skin conditions that we should be aware of?
• Is your pet vaccinated?
• Are there any special medical considerations for your pet? (eg. moles, lumps & bumps, heart conditions etc.)

Always check for cleanliness where the animals are groomed. If it's not well maintained, chances are your animal won't be either.
