The trust check
What’s worth knowing before you book a groom.
Handing your dog to a groomer means trusting them with your pet. So every groomer gets the same plain check of what you can verify for yourself — not a rating, not an ad. Unknowns stay unknown.
- 01
It’s a real business
Sourced from official websites and listings, with contact details. Lead-generation pages and call centers don’t count.
- 02
Certified groomer, as stated
A grooming certification the groomer names on its own site. Many good groomers have none, so ask about training.
- 03
Cage-free, as stated
Whether the groomer says it is cage-free, with no kennel time before or after the groom, with a link to where it says so.
- 04
No sedation, as stated
Whether the groomer says it never sedates pets for grooming, as published.
- 05
Vaccinations required
Whether the groomer says it requires proof of current vaccinations, such as rabies. Ask what they need.
- 06
Insured, as stated
The insurance statement the groomer publishes. Ask for the certificate of insurance; we don’t see the policy.
- 07
Online booking
Whether the groomer takes bookings online on its own site.
- 08
Published prices
Prices, only when the groomer publishes them. Otherwise, ask for a quote for your dog’s breed and size.
FIRST TIME BOOKING A GROOMER?Ask before you book,
Ask before you book,
not after the groom.
Ask where your dog will wait, whether the groomer ever sedates, and which vaccinations they need. Get the price in writing. How to choose a groomer ↗
- Where will my dog wait?Some groomers use crates or cages before and after the groom and some are cage-free. Ask how long a dog is crated and who checks on it.
- Do you ever sedate dogs?Ask whether the groomer ever sedates a dog, and what they do with a scared one. Talk to your vet if your dog is anxious.
- Which vaccinations do you need?Many groomers ask for proof of rabies vaccination, and some for others. Ask what they need and how to send it.
- What does the price cover?Size, coat and condition change the price. Get the base price, the add-ons and what happens if your dog needs extra work, in writing.
