5 things to do before your dog’s next grooming appointment.
1. Brush out the knots. Matted coats take 30-60 minutes longer and cost more.
2. Mention sensitive spots. Hot spots, lumps, ear infections. Your groomer can’t always see it under the fur.
3. Bring a reference photo. “Short” means something different to every groomer.
4. Tell them if it’s a first-timer. Puppies and rescue dogs need a slower approach.
5. Ask about pricing before. A matted coat can add $50+ to the bill.
