When you have pets in your home, it is vital that you keep them clean and well-groomed. Pets that stay in the house more than going outside are easier to keep clean, but pet grooming often includes brushing, trimming, and cleaning your dog or cat, as much for them as for you. Pet grooming services often make it easier on you and less stressful for your pet than you trying to wrestle the dog into a bath or trim your cat's claws.
Grooming Centers
Some businesses offer pet grooming and specialize in all the things your pet needs to look and feel good. Some of these businesses are like animal spas where the pets are pampered and come home looking wonderful with all the essential grooming completed.
Some dog breeds require special attention when trimming their fur, while others don't need trimming but have nails that grow quickly and require clipping to ensure they are not tearing up carpeting or scratching the floors in your home. Most dogs are uncomfortable when their nails get too long, and it can become difficult for them to walk comfortably, so trimming is essential.
Bathing can also be problematic because not all dogs and most cats are not fond of water. Pet grooming facilities often have large walk-in wash areas that make getting the animal in and out easier, and the groomers will work with your animals to get them clean without causing stress.
Other parts of your pet, like their ears, need special attention, and should also be cleaned during the grooming visit. Dogs may require anal gland expressing to help keep them healthy as well, and a good groomer will take care of that for you.
Mobile Groomers
A mobile pet grooming service offers the same services for the pet and owner, but they will come to you instead of you having to take your pet there. Mobile pet grooming is popular because it can be easier to fit into a busy schedule, and you get to see some of what grooming involves if you want to.
The groomer will often use a large van with all the tools and equipment that are in a typical pet grooming station inside. The groomer can park in your driveway, take the animal to the van, and come back with a fresh, clean pet that looks as good as if you took them to a groomer somewhere else.
Because the service comes to you, you often get the same groomer every time, and your dog or cat gets to know them, making the process more comfortable, and the cost is similar to that of a standard grooming appointment, without having to take time out of your day to go there, wait for an hour, and then drive home.
