3 Tips for Choosing a Dog Groomer

March 24, 2023

Choosing the right dog groomer ensures that your dog gets the care that they deserve. According to Statista, the pet grooming industry is worth about $7 billion. As a result, there are plenty of dog groomer options out there, but not all groomers are the best option. Here are three tips for choosing a groomer you can rely on.

1. Get to Know the Groomer First

Before you schedule your dog's appointment, it is a good idea to get to know the groomer first. Ask if you can stop by and watch while they interact with the dogs in their charge. This will give you a good idea of what you can expect. It's important that you ask the right questions. For example, how do they deal with dogs that really are not fans of being groomed? Where are the dogs housed while they wait for their pick-up? Get a feel for both the groomer and the establishment before you choose a groomer.

2. Get Recommendations

Ask family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers which dog groomer they use and if they are happy with the services. If you are new to town, read online reviews and ask the dog groomer if they can provide references. Talking to other dog owners about their level of satisfaction with the services can be enlightening. It can be difficult to pick a groomer when you are new to town. Ask around at the pet store that you use or the veterinarian to find some recommendations.

3. Ask if You Can Stay During the Appointment

The right groomer will not mind if you stick around while your dog is groomed. Sticking around while your pup is pampered will help to put your mind at ease and can ensure that your dog is in good hands. Staying for the first appointment should not be a problem for any groomer.

Choosing the right dog groomer is important for your dog and for your peace of mind. Follow these three simple tips to ensure that you are making the right choice. Choosing a trusted groomer will ensure that your fur baby gets the attention that they deserve in a safe environment.
