Professional grooming services can help your dog look and feel good. At Tails of Manhattan, we offer a dog daycare with grooming services to keep your pet clean, healthy, and happy. We’re a trusted partner for anyone looking for dog grooming NYC services. Here’s a look at what’s included in dog grooming services:
General Health Checks
Professional dog groomers often start with a general health check. The checks seek to identify cuts, swelling, heat, behavioral changes, and other serious issues that require medical attention. Groomers may request vaccination records for Bordetella, rabies, and distemper before tending to the dog. General health care involves checking the dog’s eyes for brightness and clarity and their teeth for chipping. The groomer can also check the ears for odor and buildup. Other checks include inspecting the skin, coat, pads, and nails for cuts and infections.
Ear and Eye Cleaning
Dogs and other pets get dirt, eye gunk, mucus, and earwax that can build up over time. Professional dog groomers can clean your dog’s eyes and ears to remove the dirt, gunk, and wax buildup. The eyes and ears are sensitive areas that require delicate cleaning. Groomers at a dog daycare and boarding facility may use cotton balls and wipes to clean around the eyes, nose, and ears. We can trim hair inside the dog’s ears if necessary. A thorough inspection precedes cleaning to rule out serious injuries or infections that require treatment before grooming.
Bathing and Shampooing
Professional groomers can bathe your dog using pet-friendly shampoos. Bathing removes debris, dirt, and grime on the coat and skin. Leading dog grooming facilities stock gentle, non-toxic shampoos and products for pets with sensitive skin or allergy issues. You can also find special shampoos to remove fleas, ticks, and foul odors. Your dog’s coat can become muddy and start to smell, but professional groomers can handle everything. Bathing is often combined with brushing, hair removal, and trimming.
Brushing, Styling, and Trimming
Bathing is usually followed by brushing, hair removal, and trimming. The groomer begins brushing once the dog’s coat has dried and then proceeds to trim off excess hair from the coat. You can select a unique hairstyle depending on your dog’s breed and preferences. Tails of Manhattan groomers can also trim your dog’s nails using clippers. Uneven nails and cracks can damage your furniture and injure your skin. Nail trimming reduces the risk of injury, nail damage, and posture issues, allowing your dog to run with ease.
De-shedding and De-matting
Dogs and pups shed a lot of hair and can leave your furniture and home filled with loose flying hair. Taking your dog through a de-shedding process can remove loose hair from your dog’s undercoat. Brushing and combing only removes loose hair from the top coat, so de-shedding is required to clean the undercoat. De-matting is another service you can book to detangle knots in your dog’s undercoat. The mats can hide pests, parasites, and injuries, hinder airflow, and increase the risk of infections and other health issues.
