A day in the life of a house-call pet groomer 🐾 Two cats, one Shih Tzu, and three very different grooming appointments.
My first cat needed a lion cut due to heavy matting, especially around the belly. After carefully clipping away the matted coat, I also did a paw and sanitary trim, cleaned the ears and eyes, and refreshed the coat with dry shampoo since a full bath wasn’t the best option for her.
Cat 2 started with a thorough de-shedding treatment, followed by a bath, shampoo, blow-dry, brushing, and finishing care. Both cats spend time outdoors, so at their owners’ request we left their claws natural for climbing and defense. 🐱
After a lunch break at home, it was time for the final dog grooming appointment of the day - a Shih Tzu bath, nail trim, and a practical summer haircut with a neat, rounded face. ✂️🐶
Two cat grooms, one Shih Tzu haircut, and another full pet grooming day complete. 🐾
