Every dog parent wants a good dog groomer for his or her pets. Just as a parent is careful searching for a babysitter, you should be careful searching for a dog groomer. Below are some qualities and tips you should keep in mind when searching for a dog groomer.
- Ask for a tour. If you’re looking at a traditional pet establishment, request a tour. Here you can take notes on whether or not it is clean, messy, organized or perhaps hectic. If you’re considering mobile grooming, ask if you can take a look inside their vehicles to make sure they are credible and well organized.
- Ask questions. How long have you been in the business of dog grooming? How long do appointments last? How much do you charge? These are typical questions to ask the groomer.
- Get references. All good groomers will have positive references. Check out Yelp and Google to see what other customers have said.
- Watch your dog’s behavior. How does he or she feel around the groomer? Are they stressed, anxious or nervous? Or are they happy and smiling? These are key insights to how your pet will react to the dog grooming.

I like that you mentioned to ask a groomer for references. That way, you can hear from past clients and get a good idea of their level of satisfaction. I am trying to find a groomer to help with my dog, because I can’t handle it on my own. I will make sure to ask for references before I make any decisions, thanks for sharing.
