• Know all your pet’s triggers: because a salon can be loud and noisy can cause stress in some pets. For example, some pets are nervous or anxious when they see or are around other dogs.  Some dog cannot stand to be exposed to loud noises, like sirens, music, even other dogs barking.  When you notice these things its good to write it down so you can inform your salon when your dog is getting groomed.  Communicate any calming triggers as well with the groomer.
• Visit your pet’s salon: allow the pet to be with you the first time you come to the salon, upon making your appointment. Give your dog the chance to see where he/she will be coming .   P4 will be happy to schedule a day for you and your pet to take a tour of the salon. (you must bring proof of vaccination with you for tour).   This helps them get use to the activity, smells, and the sounds of the salon.  By touching their feet, and paws in play time with them along with using common household items to introduce them to humming noises of clippers, and nail grinder if available will help them through their grooming process as well.
• Brining your dog in for grooming every four-to-six weeks can help with slowly losing their anxiety for a bath and will keep your pet clean and healthy. It can allow them to be regularly checked for ticks, fleas, dry skin patches, and or problem with their nail, teeth, ears, and eyes. (?) gives dog’s a feeling of familiarity and peace.
