Aggressive pets can pose a grooming problem, but there are some measures that can be taken to keep them calm. First, try staying with the pet during the grooming. If that does not work, talk to your vet about prescribing sedatives for grooming day.
If your pet’s breed is one that requires grooming regularly, you absolutely should choose a groomer as early as possible and get your pet used to being groomed as soon as possible. It’s sure to save you a lot of heartache later.
A very tangled coat may not respond to simple brushing and combing during infrequent grooming visits. Brushing your dog between visits is an important chore. It will keep tangles to a minimum and avoid shaving to remove persistent knots and tangles.
Fleas and parasites can be difficult to spot on your pet unless there is a serious infestation or you handle the grooming duties and carefully look for the signs. A professional groomer, however, can quickly spot an issue before it becomes a significant problem.
It isn’t just show dogs who need a professional grooming now and again. It’s a necessary part of life for many breeds in order to protect their sensitive skin. After all, mats pull on that skin and can create sores if left untreated.
Professional grooming for your dog or cat is a necessary process and will ensure his or her health. Without regular grooming, dirt and grime can get under your pet's hair and cause skin irritations and sometimes even infections.
If your dog has sensitive skin or allergies, then professional grooming is going to be your best option. Your groomer will be able to find the least irritating type of shampoo and may be able to suggestion other options for keeping your dog’s skin as healthy as possible.
While matted cat fur can appear to be an aesthetic issue, a tightly wound mat can begin to tear at your cat’s skin under the mat. Let’s talk about how frequently you’ll need to bring your cat in for grooming to keep the mats at bay.
Have you ever tried to bathe your pet and ended up with more water on you than them? Convenience and less stress on your pet are reasons to consider professional grooming services.
There are many parts of the grooming process that require considerable expertise. For example, shaving or trimming around your pet's face is very precise work.
One advantage of professional pet grooming is that, when taking care of your pet, we will be able to notice any issues your pet may be experiencing. This might include anything from dry skin to fleas.

Pet Groomer
MESSENGER
The Wizard of Paws updated their business hours.
Did you know that most professional pet groomers suggest that you have your pet groomed every four to six weeks or so? Professional groomings should occur more often if he or she is experiencing hair, nail, or skin problems.
Part of professional grooming services involve cleaning out and inspecting your pet’s ears, as well as removing any excess hair growing there. This is important, as it can help in preventing subsequent ear infections and other issues.
Diet plays one of the most important roles when it comes to the shine and condition of your dog’s coat. When you bring your pet in for grooming, we can answer any questions you have if you would like to improve the look of your dog’s coat.
It’s important to remember that you don’t always have to handle your pet’s grooming on your own just because he or she is your responsibility. Bringing him or her to see us can make for a less stressful grooming experience for you and your pet.
While grooming is important for dogs who are heavy shedders, it is almost more important for those who don't shed. These breeds, such as poodles, bichon frises, and Kerry blue terriers, have coats that are always growing, so grooming is required to keep their fur at a manageable and comfortable length.
As part of our professional grooming services, we will inspect your pet’s coat, skin, eyes, ears, and nose for any abnormalities. This is an excellent way of catching conditions early, so they can be treated before they have a chance to get worse.
Did you know that canine ear infections that go untreated can damage your dog’s hearing and cause them pain? If your pet has chronic ear issues, we can be sure to pay special attention to this area while grooming.
Due to the storm, there is an area wide phone outage according to Spectrum. We do apologize for the inconvenience. You can reach us by email at wizardofpawsps@gmail.com.
