Pet Groomers in Savannah and Richmond Hill Georgia
A healthy, happy pet is often a well groomed one. We love our fur babies, so before we hand them over to someone new for grooming it is important we find someone we trust.
A professional groomer is skilled in safely handling our pets and are often the first to discover lumps or infections.
When you move to a new town you do not always have a network of family and friends to ask questions and secure referrals with.
How to Choose a Pet Groomer
- A little research online and with the Better Business Bureau may uncover any issues you’d encounter with a pet grooming facility. Although some groomers may have certifications, there is no government body that registers or regulates these licenses.
- Evaluate and tour the pet groomer’s location. A few things to consider:
- Is the facility well lit and clean?
- How knowledgeable and caring are the staff?
- Does the staff handle the animals gently?
- Does the facility keep records on their pets, including emergency contact numbers?
- Are there separate areas for dogs and cats
- If your pet gets nervous before a visit it may help to prepare him for the pet groomer by training him with a grooming routine. It will also help to quickly drop your pet off at the groomers. Emotional goodbyes tend to increase anxiety.
- It’s good practice to have your pet’s vaccinations up to date before leaving them with your pet groomer.
- Share all important information with your groomer when making the appointment, the age of your pet, any health concerns, and any special requirements.
