Pet grooming is an important part of keeping your dog looking and feeling good. Beyond brushing and bathing, however, what types of services are included in a professional dog grooming? The pet grooming specialists at A Gentle Touch Pet Care Services in Spencerport, NY, are committed to caring for the well-being of your four-legged friend and share with you what you should expect from a professional dog grooming service.

What Does a Professional Dog Grooming Service Include?

1. General Health Check

Professional dog groomers will do an overall check of your dog to look for anything that might need attention such as cuts, heat, or swelling. They will then check to make sure your dog’s eyes are bright and clear, their ears are clean and odorless, and their teeth aren’t broken. They also check skin, coat, nails, and pads.

2. Eye & Ear Cleaning

The dog groomer will make sure the area around your dog’s eyes is clear of gunk or mucus. They will also check and clean ears as well as trim any hair inside, if necessary.

3. Bath & Shampoo

Groomers will bathe and shampoo your dog in a pet-friendly shampoo to clean their coat and remove any dirt or debris.

4. Hair Removal, Brush, & Style

Dog GroomingOnce bathed, the dogs will be dried, and their hair will be brushed to remove excess hair and trimmed. Depending on breed, there are a lot of different options on how your dog’s hair will be cut. This is also the time where your dog groomer may get creative in the way they style your dog’s hair.

5. Nail Trimming

Trimming a dog’s nails is essential to their well-being. Dog groomers will trim your dog’s nails using clippers, a Dremel®, or both to keep nails healthy and your floors scratch-free.
