Let Shampooches Groom Your Pet to Perfection
Grooming Time Frame
A full groom could take 4 to 6 hours or sometimes even longer. Just because your pet is at the groomer for a while does not mean he or she is sitting in a cage for hours until the groomer starts.
Here are some reasons why the groom time is longer than some expect:
• Grooms include wash,blow dry, coat brushing, hair cut, ear cleaning and nail trimming. Breaks are usually given to the pet in between these steps. The groomer may alternate between multiple dogs in one time period.
• Most fur types take a long time to be properly dry and some can take 1 hour or more. Dogs with an undercoat need particular attention and can sometimes take 2+ hours to be completely dry.
• Grooming can be dangerous requiring that the groomer work slowly and deliberately for the safety of all involved.
• Dogs often don't know how to sit or stand still. Some wiggle around a lot. It's not their fault. It's just a fact.
• Acclimating a young dog to the grooming process takes patience. This is the same for a dog new to the shop and for a senior pup.
• Groomers get multiple new appointment phone calls, inquiries from some pet parents asking when their pup will be ready and each parent likes to have a brief conversation about their pet, letting them know how they did while at the salon, which is wonderful!
A pet parent waiting in the groom shop or the parking lot is problematic because the pup knows his or her pet parent has arrived. They have a great sense of smell! This causes the pup to bark and wiggle uncontrollably, which may force the groomer to temporarily stop the groom until he or she has calmed down.
The best thing a pet parent can do is arrive at the agreed upon time or wait until being notified by the salon by phone call.
