Dog Grooming: Signs It’s Time to Book an Appointment

RAFFI OHANIAN • October 7, 2022

As a pet owner, ensuring the health and happiness of your furry friend is a top priority. Regular grooming is essential for maintaining your dog's well-being, but it's not always easy to know when it's time to book that next session. At Happy Hounds Grooming, our expert dog groomers and mobile pet groomers are here to help you determine when your pooch needs professional care. Here are key signs that it's time to reach out to a pet groomer.


1. Matting and Tangling


If you notice mats and tangles in your dog's fur, it's a clear sign that they need a grooming session. Mats can cause skin irritation and discomfort, making grooming by a professional dog groomer crucial. Our mobile dog groomers are equipped to handle even the toughest mats, ensuring your dog's coat is smooth and healthy.


2. Overgrown Nails


Long nails can be painful for your dog, affecting their ability to walk and even leading to joint problems. Regular nail trims are a staple service provided by our skilled pet groomers. If you hear your dog's nails clicking on the floor, it’s time to schedule a visit.


3. Excessive Shedding


While shedding is a natural process, excessive shedding can indicate the need for a professional grooming session. Our dog groomers use specialized tools to remove dead hair and improve your dog’s coat health.


4. Dirty or Smelly Coat


A dirty or smelly coat can be uncomfortable for your dog and unpleasant for you. Our mobile pet grooming services make it convenient to get your dog cleaned, no matter your schedule or location.


5. Skin Issues


Skin issues such as dryness, oiliness, or signs of allergies require attention from a professional groomer. Happy Hounds Grooming offers treatments that can help alleviate your dog's skin problems.


6. Ear Infections


Dogs with floppy ears are particularly prone to ear infections. Regular cleaning by a professional can prevent these painful infections. Our mobile cat grooming and dog grooming teams are trained to handle ear cleaning with the utmost care.


7. The Eyes Have It


Discharge or excessive tearing can be signs of eye issues that might be mitigated by proper facial grooming. Regular face trims can prevent hair from irritating your dog’s eyes.


8. Behavior Changes


If your dog is unusually irritable, it might be due to discomfort from areas that require grooming. A check-up with a mobile dog groomer can help address any grooming-related discomfort your pet may be experiencing.


9. Seasonal Changes


With the change of seasons, your dog’s grooming needs can change too. Summer might require shorter coats, while winter calls for special attention to dry skin.


10. It’s Been a While


If it’s been a few months since your last grooming appointment, it’s probably time to book again. Regular grooming not only keeps your dog looking great but also in top health.
