Pros and cons of professional Home dog grooming

You are certainly choosing to go to a professional esthetician because you are sure that you can get a level of service that far exceeds what you can achieve at home.

This is especially appealing for tasks such as nail trimming. Trimming your dog’s nails at home can often be a challenge, especially if your dog resists sitting still, which can often lead to owners trimming too close or even trimming too fast.

Frankly, there are several grooming tasks like this that sound and look easy when done by a professional, but can often be difficult for those who are less skilled.

In addition to nail trimming, other tasks you might want to leave to the professionals include:

• Ear cleaning
• De-shedding treatment
• Specialist coat grooming
• Medical checks such as expressing anal glands

This list is by no means exhaustive, but it still covers a wide range of treatments. No matter what type of treatment you want for your dog, a professional groomer can provide that service.
