Pet Behavior and Safety

We take the safety and well-being of groomers and pets seriously. We want your pet to have a positive experience and we understand that not all dogs adapt quickly and positively to grooming. Please don’t hold back about any behavioral issues such as biting.

Communication with your groomer is essential. Please communicate any known fear-based behavior around strangers before the grooming session. In some cases, your groomer will muzzle an aggressive or fearful pooch for everyone’s safety. Muzzles are safe and often have a calming effect on a highly stressed dog, but they are not our first choice. If your pup remains aggressive or extremely upset even with muzzling, your groomer may discontinue the grooming service to avoid further distress. Mobile grooming is not a good fit for all dogs since it’s one-on-one. In some cases, pets can have a better experience with a grooming salon with additional staff to soothe and control the dog during the groom.
