Trying To Find Dog Grooming Phoenix

,
By Casandra Newton


If you are looking for dog grooming Phoenix has many options to choose from. A pet owner does not always have the time or expertise to groom a pet and in this case they need to find someone else to do it.

Obviously dogs of different breeds have different types of hair. Certain breeds may need to be groomed frequently as the hair can become easily matted. If you have a dog with slow growing hair like a boxer or a bloodhound, a good brush may be all that is required.

Getting a referral from a friend or a professional makes sense but there is nothing to stop you going online and finding a service too. However you find the establishment, it is important for you to check it out yourself. Only by visiting the facility will you be able to see whether it is clean, well lit and welcoming.

It is important to ask the owner questions. You may be wanting a complete service with nail clipping and ear cleaning included. You need to find out whether these services are offered as well as bathing and clipping. You will also need to know how much you will pay.

Going to be groomed can be a stressful experience for dogs. They are outside of the familiar environment and left with strangers. It is important that staff know how to deal with them to ease the fear. Other dogs may be aggressive and here again, staff must have some idea of how dogs behave in order to deal with the situation.

Before making a decision, it is also a good idea to ask about how the staff are trained. Some establishments hire staff without training and then expect them to start grooming almost immediately. This is unacceptable as it takes time to learn how to use the various tools of the trade and to master the techniques used to groom dogs of all breeds and sizes. You do not want an inexperienced person using clippers on your pet.

The comfort and safety of your dog at all stages of the process is important. You may be able to see how the dogs are dried after bathing. Are the hand dried or put in cages? Once groomed, are the dogs kept in a secured area to wait for you and do they have access to fresh water? It is easy for them to become dehydrated.

If you are expecting additional services such as expressing of the anal glands, it is very important to know exactly how qualified staff are to do this. For example, the last thing you need is for someone with little experience attempting to express anal glands when they are impacted.

In selecting dog grooming Phoenix offers a wide choice. There are those who choose to work in stores and others that have mobile stations. The setting does not matter compared with the quality of service offered. You need to feel confident that you are leaving your pet in as safe and comfortable an environment as possible and in the care of those who will treat them with as much care as you would yourself.
