Keep in mind that not all grooming involves cutting hair and clipping. Many animals can benefit from a simple haircut. Jack Russell Terriers and Labradors, for example, can have undercoats removed professionally, and dramatically minimize shedding. Longhaired cats can have haircuts too, which will help them stay cool in our hot weather and reduce hairballs.
When your pet is groomed, it does not only look good but in many cases a regular grooming visit can prevent serious problems from becoming fatal. If there are any bumps, lumps, cuts, flakes, skin conditions, ear, tooth, or nail problems, your groomer will often find them.
Once, during a regular grooming, we discovered that the anal glands of one of the dogs I was handling did not appear healthy. After notifying the owner, the dog was taken to the vet. The dog had developed a tumor but thanks to the early discovery and removal, the pet was fine and the owner very grateful. Had the tumor not been discovered quickly, the pet might not have survived.
When your pet is groomed properly on a regular basis they feel better and you'll appreciate them more. Consider grooming your pet frequently, so that another animal professional can look out after your pet.
Yes, to some owners they will say I am not a vet so I have no right to pass a comment on the dog's health. To some owners, they rather trust the groomers than the vet. To some owners, they only go to see the vet when their dog is suffering a lot.
To put it plainly, groomers are always the first in line to notice any changes in your pet.
I am sure you go the your hairstylist every 2 months and I know some of my clients go every month. Why? To look good and feel good. Having your pets look and feel good is also very important. Because they are part of your family and also reduces your trip to the vet.
