Cleanliness helps keep fleas away by eliminating areas where they can hide while brushing helps distribute natural oils through their fur which keeps their coat shiny and healthy looking. Additionally brushing helps remove dead hairs before they accumulate which reduces shedding around your home; not only does this keep it cleaner but it also makes those pesky allergy symptoms easier to manage! Furthermore regular nail trims help prevent painful ingrown nails that can cause discomfort while walking; not only is this beneficial physically but it also makes it easier for dogs to move around without pain thus improving their overall mental wellbeing.

Early grooming experiences help build positive associations with the process, making it easier for your pup (and your groomer) over time.

Appointment length depends on size, coat condition, breed, and temperament. A straightforward small dog groom may take 45-60 minutes, while a large or matted dog may require 2-3 hours or more.

Yes, tipping is a thoughtful way to show appreciation for your groomer's work. A typical tip is 10-20% of the total cost, depending on the complexity of the groom and the level of service provided. If your groomer went the extra mile—such as managing a nervous dog or handling special requests—a higher tip and a holiday tip is always welcomed.
