Los Angeles Mobile Dog Grooming. Your pet in our van +818 755 7904Posted by Mobile Pet Spa on July 3rd, 2018 Choosing a dog groomer can be a hard decision. We all love our pets and we want to give them the very best. The groomer will be a big part of your Pet Groomer Beverly Hills life so you want to find one that you can stick with for years to come. Although, most of us have not a clue what to look for when choosing a dog groomer so I have created this article to help you to determine which groomer is right for you and your pet. There are some obvious things that you will want to look for when researching a groomer. Visit the location and take a look around. Is it clean? Where are the dogs kept when they are not being groomed? Do they provide water to dogs in kennels? Are the dogs given regular bathroom breaks. These are all questions you should ask the groomer. Any good groomer will be happy to answer all of your questions and many will even give you a tour of the facility. Although, keep in mind if the groomer is extremely busy on the day you visit they may not have time to show you around. If this is the case simply ask them if there would be a better time to come back and discuss your concerns. You will also want to look for a groomer who will be asking you questions. Most professional groomers will have a information sheet for you to fill out. It should ask basic questions about your dog and any health problems or allergies he may have. It should also ask who you would like contact in case of an emergency. An emergency at the grooming salon is rare but it is important that they know what vet your dog should be taken to if there is a problem and who should be called. They should also ask about your vaccination records and will need proof of your dog’s rabies vaccination. If a groomer does not ask about any of these things I would look for a different groomer. You may want to stay with your pet but don't be surprised or mad if the groomer declines. There is a very good reason that most groomers do not want owners to stay with the dog during grooming. When dog are being groomed the groomer will need their full attention. If the owner is in the same room many dogs will be much harder to groom because they are more interested in going back to their owner. This can be dangerous for the dog and the groomer. Groomers visit us to know more us are using razor sharp tools and it is very important that your dog is not distracted and is listening to the groomer. Some shops are now installing web cams so that you can see your dog being groomed without actually being in the room with them. Although many shops do not have such high tech features.
