Safety:
First of all safety is NUMBER ONE! All pets are secure on the table and in the bath
tub! A bath tub mat is used so that there is no slipping and sliding. The table is covered
with a non skid mat and the grooming arm is equipped with a “Groomers Helper” which
secures your pet with the collar that hangs from the overhead grooming arm and a side
hook that is attached to the collar. This side hook keeps the collar from pulling on the
trachea and keeps the pet from spinning around or falling off the table!
Keep in mind that legs are lifted during the grooming process, if you have an elderly pet
or a pet that has arthritis; you might want to check with your veterinarian to see if it
would be ok to give him/her a baby aspirin before the groom.
To wrap up safety…if you feel that your pet has been injured at all after his/her groom
PLEASE call as soon as possible so that we may discuss the issue.
Skin: Before the grooming process and after, your pet’s skin is inspected. If any
irritations are noticed before or after the groom we will discuss it with you.
Sanitary Trim: During the sanitary trim which consists of shaving the tummy, penis,
testes or vulva, the blade is only swiped once or twice to remove any excess hair. The
anus is never touched with the blade as the fur is shaved around it.
IMPORTANT Note: Clipper burn or clipper irritation will never happen during the
sanitary trim as the blade is only swiped once or twice over these areas. "Clipper burn"
happens with a blade that has been running for a long time and heats up. "Clipper
irritation" happens if the blade is swiped over and over and over again on one area.
Nails: During the trimming of the nails a rotary power sander (Dremel tool) is used, this
is why when you feel their nail after a groom they are not sharp. You may have thought
that we forgot to do the nails, but this is the FIRST thing we do during the grooming
process; using a power sander they do not feel like they were cut!
