Most dogs need professional grooming every 4-8 weeks.
Since we service different areas of the Valley on different days, appointments vary.
As a general rule you should schedule 1-2 weeks before your desired grooming date.
Anal sacs (also called "anal glands") are two small glands just inside your pets
anus. The material secreted into these glands is thick and foul smelling. Most animals
can empty these glands voluntarily for scent marking or in self defense (like a
skunk might do). Domestic animals have largely lost their ability to empty these
sacs voluntarily. Walking around and normal defecation serves to empty the glands
but some animals become unable to empty their glands on their own at all. The sacs
become impacted and uncomfortable. Dogs with impacted anal sacs usually scoot their
rear on the ground in an attempt to empty the glands. Some dogs will lick their
anal area and other dogs will chase their tails. Cats often lick the fur off just
under their tails.
Bath, brush, nails trimmed, haircut to owners specification, warm air fluff dry,
ears cleaned and hair plucked and cologne.
Grooming rates vary by breed of pet and the types of services you choose.
