**Grooming Tips**

Your Guide to Selecting
a Grooming Salon

Pet Grooming...more than just a pretty face...

Regular Grooming for your dog or cat is just as much a part of your pet's life as a healthy diet, regular exercise, a cozy corner to curl up in and plenty of love.

Whether your pet has short,wiry hair or long, curly locks, grooming will benefit one and all. Regular grooming is not just about esthetics. There's nail trimming, ear cleaning, anal gland checking, and skin and coat cleanliness. They all add up to a healthy, happy member of the family. A dirty pet is at risk for health problems - for both the the owner and the pet.

A groomer is your link to information about your pet's needs. When you find one that you and your pet are comfortable with, stick with them!

Feel free to ask questions - groomers are more than happy to talk about the work they do, and will be happy to work with you and your pet.

• Bring your pet in on a regular basis
• Have your pet's nails trimmed at least every 6 weeks
• Communicate your wishes clearly to your groomer to avoid misunderstandings
• Inform your groomer of any medical conditions your pet may have
• Make sure your pet relieves himself prior to his grooming appointment
