Did you know grooming can actually be a stressful experience for your dog? Its not exactly like a people spa, with calm quiet music and deep breathing. Quite the contrary, its loud noises, unusual smells, and a busy atmosphere. Pup's on sensory over-load, and on top of that, mom just left! Most dogs that get groomed regularly from the time they are a puppy are accustomed to the process, but even then some are only tolerating the procedure. Your groomer isn't lying to you if they say they were a good boy or girl, but that doesn't always mean they necessarily enjoyed it. (Although there's definitely a few that do!!)
I'd like to say, almost all groomers care deeply for each pet. Knowing how stressful it is, they are all looking to give each pet as stress-free an experience as possible with the resources they have.
I am lucky enough to have the ability and means to take my job to you! Now I have just taken away the car ride. A lot of clients have expressed how stressful just the ride alone brings to their beloved pup.
I will complete your pup straight through, usually finishing within 2 hours, and I can take my time to be patient if there's any anxiety to work through.
