A Pet Parent's Guide to Finding Pet Grooming Florida

By David Russell


It doesn't matter what kind of cat or dog you own. Any pet has specific grooming needs that owners need to help with. Some pets may only need regular baths and nail trims. Others have more complex needs. If your dog or cat has needs that you can't manage, a company offering pet grooming Florida may be just what you need to keep your fur baby looking and feeling their best. Here are some things to look for when you need to hire someone to care for your pet.

Many people groom pets but may not be a licensed groomer. It can be a good idea to look for someone who has completed courses or received certification to ensure that they know what they are doing. An inexperienced person may not know how to handle specific types of fur or they may injure your pet with clippers or scissors. You may also be unhappy with the way your dog or cat looks when you get them back.

You may be tempted to avoid going to the groomer but this is actually a mistake. Unless you are able to cut your fur baby's hair and nails yourself they will need to be cared for by someone else. Long nails can grow into a pet's feet and end up causing serious problems. You also need to make sure that your dog or cat's fur is not matted as it can make the skin sore.

Many salons will care for dogs but may not want to groom cats. While most felines are able to keep their fur in good condition they may need a little help especially if they are long haired or if they are older. If you do have a cat that needs a little care you may want to call around and find a professional who has experience with felines as well as with canines.

When you start searching for salons you will want to talk to the staff themselves as well as look at the facility where your dog or cat will be groomed. If you do not like the idea of leaving your pet at a location you might want to consider a traveling facility that comes to you instead. Make sure that the areas are clean and that the tools look like they are in good repair.

One thing to ask a company you are planning to work with is how they handle special types of fur. Some canines have double coats that help provide them with protection against heat and cold. A groomer who just shaves these dogs down is likely not one that you want to work with as the fur can grow in poorly and the dog can end up with health problems as a result.

You may also want to ask the groomer whether they have special shampoos or products on hand that can handle certain health issues. Dogs with allergies may need special shampoos such as those made with oatmeal. It can be a good idea to inquire whether you can bring your own shampoos as well in case a veterinarian prescribes one for your pup.

There are many ways you can find potential salons. You can look online for names or inquire at a local pet store or veterinary clinic to find out who they recommend. If your friends have dogs you may also want to ask them who they use or who they would avoid. Then, once you have a list of names you can begin talking with different professionals until you find one who will suit your needs the best.
