Reducing Your Pet’s Stress When Visiting The Groomer

Reducing Your Pet’s Stress When Visiting The Groomer

Pets can experience a significant amount of stress when visiting a pet salon, especially for the first time. While it might not be possible to completely eliminate their stress, there are ways to ensure that it is minimized during these visits.

An important first step is to make sure that your pet’s arrival to the grooming salon is a pleasant one. As you enter the salon, talk to your pet in a happy tone of voice that communicates that this will be a nice experience. Always avoid using anxiety ridden tones, as this will solidify your pet’s fears. Offer treats to your pet upon arrival and provide extra treats for your groomer to offer them. For cats, dropping a bit of canned tuna through the door of their pet carrier can work wonders.

When you bring your cat to the grooming salon, make sure that any wire, or parts that they can see through, are covered. This will ensure that your cat will not become frightened by unfamiliar sights. It is always best for your cat to remain in its carrier at the grooming salon as it is familiar territory that does not smell of other cats or dogs. Your groomer will take your cat out only for grooming and then return them to the carrier until it is time for them to go home.

Frequent socialization visits are an extremely important part of reducing stress for your pet. You should take your pet to the groomer often so that they can get to know the staff and become familiar with the facility. Consider bringing your pet to the groomer, even if they don’t require grooming. Have the groomer talk to your pet and offer them treats. These visits can help your pet understand that “bad things” don’t always happen when they visit the salon. Most groomers will be happy to accommodate these types of visits as they will make your pet easier for them to handle and care for.

Claws N Paws Day Spa offers professional pet grooming in Orange County, California. Our experienced groomers understand the anxiety that pet’s sometimes feel when visiting a pet salon. We will do our best to reduce your pet’s stress whenever possible. However, sometimes pets are too fearful for us to groom and must be taken to their veterinarian.

Humane Grooming

Humane Grooming

At Claws N Paws Day Spa the health, safety, care and comfort of your pet are our primary concerns. Our experienced team is here to offer you and your pet the exceptional service that both of you deserve. We understand the special bond that you share with your pet and we value their health and well-being as much as you do. This is why we practice Humane Grooming at Claws N Paws Day Spa.

Our professional groomers understand that your pet has many emotions and they will always take into consideration the effect that a grooming visit may have on them. At times pets might experience anxiety, nervousness and distress while visiting the grooming salon. Because we value your pet’s feelings, we will always do our best to ensure that your pet feels safe and comfortable throughout their entire visit.

Sometimes a pet’s coat becomes severely tangled or matted. This happens for a number of different reasons. Matted fur is extremely uncomfortable for your pet and can cause several different health problems. De-matting is mentally and physically stressful for pets and can put their health and well-being in jeopardy.

Claws N Paws Day Spa does not offer de-matting for severely matted pets. Partial de-matting services will be performed for an extra fee ONLY if your pet has only a select few mats throughout their coat that are not close to their skin. Severely matted or tangled coats WILL be shaved.

If you wish to maintain the length of your pet’s hair there is no alternative but to keep it brushed and combed out daily between your professional grooming appointments. If this is not an option, we recommend that you schedule weekly maintenance appointments for your pet. If you require assistance in selecting the proper tools to maintain your pet’s coat, we will be happy to assist you.
