Questions
Depending upon the breed
of dog you have, a groomer may be very useful in keeping the haircoat neat
and tidy. Ask your veterinarian, family, and friends for names of groomers
that they recommend.
Questions you may want to ask your groomer...
A) Where have the groomers at this shop been trained?
Cristina, the owner, attended the Massachusetts School of Pet Grooming.
She has been grooming all breeds of animals for many years.
All of Cristina's assistants have extensive experience with pet care and have been carefully chosen, then trained, to work under Cristina's guidance
B) What type of pet grooming are you proficient in?
We do a great job with all breeds, from labs to poodles, performing puppy cuts as well as show cuts.
We groom many cats, long and short haired.
We work wonders with anxious and aged pets.
C) Hours, fees, and payment?
We are open by appointment Mon-Sat in our East Bridgewater
shop
We
groom boarded dogs/cats 7 days / week.
Our reasonable rates are based upon the cut requested,
pet's size, coat condition and behavior
We accept Cash, Checks and Major Credit Cards.
D) What equipment, procedures and products do you use?
Professional brand name products are used for shampoo and conditioner.
We have medicated shampoos available to soothe most common skin conditions.
Iif your pet requires a prescription shampoo, you may provide it.
As a rule, we don't cage dry pets. Hand drying ensures a thorough grooming and a more lustrous and soft coat.
E) What about the pet's experience in the shop?
Dogs are kept in large kennels, supplied with water when needed.
We
have found it to be a low stress environment.Our facility is kept
clean, neat, and orderly and always smells fresh.
We pluck ears when required, always trim pet's nails and send them home with either a custom bandana or a pretty bow.
F) What about fleas?
If we detect fleas on your pet while grooming, we will automatically
give a de-fleaing bath to the pet. We will call the owner to advise of
the fleas, to suggest that bedding be laundered, that flea preventative
medications be used. We must charge extra for the flea treatment.
We treat pets for fleas using only non-toxic products, for the pet's safety.
In our retail area, we offer different brands of flea and tick medications
to prevent re-infestation.
G) How often should I groom my pet?
It depends upon the breed, the coat, the dog's habits (indoor or out),
how much you care for the pet's coat, etc. Some pets' coats require grooming
as often as every 3 weeks, others every 12 weeks. Remember that nails should
be clipped every 4-6 weeks and regular brushing of the coat at home is
a must.
H) What is the "SHED LESS" program?
We are introducing a new program for those pets who shed too much. We expect to reduce shedding by 80%! Please inquire for details.
I) What is your pet dental hygiene program?
We are introducing a new program which will improve the dental health
of your pet, and improve your pet's breath. Please inquire for details
J) My white dog (cat) has tear stains under the eyes, detracting
from her/his pretty appearance, what do you recommend?
We sell a product in our retail area which has proven to be VERY effective at eliminating these stains, please ask.
