Frequently asked questions

• My dog's toenails are never cut short enough. Why?

  The vein in the toenail is called a 'quick'. Very often the 'quick' grows to the length of the toenail and when cut it bleeds and hurts. If nails are very long, 'tip' them every two weeks until desired length is reached. The 'quick' will eventually recede.

• Why do pet groomers charge more to give a haircut to a matted pet?

  Shaving a matted pet requires tremendous skill and time. The groomer must get under the matts down to skin level to remove them. There is high propensity for injury. Groomers charge for their skill and time.

• What are anal glands?

  Anal Glands are a glandular sac located on each side of the anus. If not expressed, pets can develop impacted anal glands or infection. Pets signal problems by scooting bottoms, excessive biting tail area and circling. See veterinarian if suspected.

• What type of brush or comb should I use at home?

  Recommend quality steel comb or slicker brush for dogs. Do not use plastic. Hard slicker brush for long-haired dogs; rubber brush for short-haired breeds like beagles and pointers.

• How often should I have my pet groomed?

  Depends on breed, style, indoor/outdoor status and personal preference. Most dogs benefit from 4-6 week schedule; some breeds can go 6-8 weeks. Ears need checking, nails trimming, brushing regularly. Groomers often spot health problems before vets.

• How long does it take to groom my pet?

  Most grooms can be completed within 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

• Tipping your groomer: Is it normal to tip the groomer?

  Some clients do and some don't. It is not expected but greatly appreciated.
