A professional dog grooming service is now affordable, fairly simple to find and a necessity for some of us. My “baby” is a 150 pounds of lovable, fur-covered angel. He just cannot wait to go for a walk and he will dance while he’s waiting for me to get ready to walk. He is waiting for me to come home when all I did was go to the post office and he greets me with excitement. The darn thing is just lovable beyond belief, until its bath time. Bath time brings out the demon in my “baby.”
A simple attempt at a bath brings up both stress, a fight, bruises on my part and fear on his. My finding a professional dog grooming service was a relief for both of us. I love my dog, but when he’s dirty, he stinks. That smells just permeates the house but fights of bath time made me decide the smell was the less of two evils. The professional dog grooming service I found got in contact with the veterinary service that they maintain close ties with and spoke with the vet about my “baby” and received advice and a prescription for me. Now my unsmelly, clean dog and I no longer walk around each other in avoidance for a few days after bath time.
While I keep my dog with the necessary medications, I don’t want the fleas and ticks that abound in our area to come into my home. My choices used to be, a treatment that didn’t seem to cover his whole body, or an ongoing search for ticks after each trip outside. The professional dog grooming service made this a thing of the past. The dog dip covers his entire, huge body with the necessary repellent, and he doesn’t object to a dip like he objects to the sprays and other treatments.
While pet grooming used to be something I thought was really only for those silly accessory dogs that some women carry around, a professional dog grooming service has become invaluable to me. However, a professional dog grooming service has been a amazing benefit to myself and my “baby” in caring for him without the huge trauma it used to entail. Not to mention that a bath time was an all day Saturday event, and the time savings for me are another nice benefit.
The Costs Of Professional Dog Grooming Service Is Not What You Think
One reason that I avoided a professional dog grooming service was the cost, but in saving a full Saturday and trauma, the costs were not bad. In fact, they were down right reasonable, usually around $100.00 for my 150 pounds “baby”.
If you think that a professional cat grooming service is only possible for the very wealthy, you are in for a pleasant surprise. The advent of the large pet supply stores that have now reached most of the cities in United States have made it possible to have professional cat grooming service at a reasonable price easily accessible. They also provide professional dog grooming service in the same pet centers. While the prices have become very reasonable, the need has become more prevalent, with the pests that spread diseases.
Since I allow my cat to go outside, I refuse to de-claw him. We live in a rural small town and there are still critters that eat cats for snacks. As such, I don’t want my cat to be defenseless as de-clawing him would cause, but I also hate to have him scratch up my furniture. A professional cat grooming service can keep his claws trimmed and blunted and with the scratching post he loves, my furniture is off the hook.
Cats with long hair can easily get matted and their coats require extra care. Its not always easy to find the time to provide that care for you cat, no matter how much you love them. A professional cat grooming service can keep the coat clean, conditioned, un-matted and not shedding hair everywhere.
Care for your cat’s ears, eyes, and teeth need a touch of experience and knowledge. You can injure your cat if you are not careful with these grooming areas. A professional cat grooming service is trained to do all of this and avoid the mistakes that can injure your cat. It is easy to injure your cat’s eardrums when cleaning them, so using a professional can make sense.
The Kitty Massage
I laughed very hard the first time I saw the list of services for the professional cat grooming service, as it included a kitty massage. How silly, I thought. While I like a massage, I couldn’t quite bring myself to spring for one for my cat. Yet, I talked to one of my friends and she has one of those cats that are just hyper-active. She tried the kitty massage and found it calmed her cat down. She has begun to give him little mini-massage when they sit and watch television and he has begun to calm down.
All in all, the proliferation of professional cat grooming services have brought the price to a reasonable level for the average consumer, and the time, care of your cat, and need for grooming services have made this service a reasonable one/
