Before you book, ask.

Four questions that tell you a lot about a groomer. A good one will answer them plainly.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
