Q & A

What grooming style is used for Snickers?

Why is pre-bath clipping done?
-Pre-bath clipping is done to trim the hair right where it lies, ensuring a better finish and smoothness of the Clipper work. It also helps reduce the grooming time and provides a cleaner appearance.
What shampoo is used for Snickers and why?
-Snickers is bathed with IG Groom Prebiotic shampoo and conditioner, which is the primary shampoo used in the salon unless a dog has very thick or double coats.
What temperature is the bath water set to?
-The bath water temperature is set to be the same as you would use for a baby's bath, not too warm and not too cold.
How is ear cleaning performed?
-Ear cleaning is done using Vetoquinol ear cleansing solution, which is filled into each ear canal and allowed to be shaken out by the dog to dry up moisture and loosen wax and debris.
Why are Clipper burns a concern and how can they be prevented?
-Clipper burns are a concern because they can cause sores due to scratching. They can be prevented by using longer blades on sensitive areas and ensuring the dog's nails are filed to avoid injury from scratching.
What is the grooming approach for BB, the toy poodle?

What special considerations are taken for mixed breed dogs like Patches?
-For mixed breed dogs like Patches, grooming techniques are adjusted based on their specific coat types. For example, Patches has a mix of coat types, so clipping is done with the grain to avoid a choppy look and ensure the coat lies nicely.
