Pets are a billion dollar industry in the US. This not only comprises pet food, accessories, toys and luxury items, it also consists of grooming. The healthiness of your pet is vital and selecting a dependable and well known grooming service to provide your furry friend with suitable upkeep is essential to its wellness.

Professional pet grooming is supposed to supply your pet with a soothing grooming event that is as stress free as possible. Pets going in to be groomed for the very first time might be uneasy and restless and to help alleviate the fear, lots of salons employ videos and music as a way to make the environment more pet friendly and to put the animal at ease.

The service that is offered should comprise combing and brushing of the fur, eliminating mats and tangles from the coat, washing and conditioning the coat, clean-up of the ears and nail trimming. There may be optional extras that can be included such as scented shampoo, conditioner and soap but be certain you have checked with your vet concerning any allergic reactions your animal may have before using these kinds of items.

Check the prices for grooming and make sure of what is involved in the cost of the service. Pet grooming can be high-priced depending on the manner in which the business structures their costs. Be certain to ask beforehand how the cost is decided and whether it’s by the size of the animal or the state of its fur. Pets that have extensive matting and knotting of the hair and need additional time might have an extra charge over and above the standard grooming charge. Make sure to inspect your pet before leaving to make sure you didn’t pay for mat removal and that there are no mats hidden beneath the long fur of the animal’s coat.

If you have a pet with severe matting, let the experts attend to the matter and do not try to remove the mats from your pet yourself unless you are an experienced groomer. The added expense is worth it to know your pet will not unintentionally be cut and caused unwarranted discomfort as a result of your inexperience. In some circumstances, it is not only essential but better that the pet be shaved so fresh hair can develop as opposed to subjecting them to a time-consuming clipping session particularly if your animal doesn’t have a patient disposition.
