Loved ones who have not visited in years will be arriving in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, there’s the need to make sure the guest room is ready, there’s plenty of extra food in the pantry, and that the house, in general, is clean and inviting. Along with those preparations, it’s time to pay some attention to the family dog. In most cases, arranging for a little Pet Grooming in Mt. Vernon in the days leading up to the arrival of the guests will make everyone happier. Here is what a professional can do to ensure the dog is also ready for company.
Time for a Bath
One of the essentials that must be part of the Pet Grooming in Mt. Vernon is a bath. While the owner could attempt to manage the task at home, things could get messy. That’s especially true when the pet is not all that fond of water. Attempting to hold a dog in place while scrubbing away is not the easiest task. Whether the pet is large or small, wet dogs can slip out of the grip with relative ease.
Instead of putting the owner and the pet through all the trauma of a home bath, it makes sense to arrange for a professional to do the bathing. Along with being able to keep the pet in place, the pro will use a shampoo that’s right for the texture and thickness of the coat. In addition, that pet shampoo will not dry out or irritate the pet’s skin.
Remember that part of the brushing after the bath can include trimming and thinning the coat a little. This will help reduce the shedding that takes place while the guests are in town.
Doing Something About the Nails
The family dog loves attention, but those nails are getting a little too long. The chances of snagging on clothing or accidentally scratching a guest are quite real. Minimize that possibility by having the nails trimmed a manicured.
When a company is coming, don’t forget to give the dog some attention. Bring the pet to the Business Name and arrange for a complete grooming. The dog will be more comfortable, the guests will enjoy playing with a nice clean dog, and everyone will be happier.
