What Grooming Really Means at Larry's
Does your dog need to be groomed? Does your dog have fur or does your dog have hair? The answers to these questions will tell you exactly what your dog needs. While many grooming shops call everything they do grooming, we do not and this can certainly cause confusion for people tryng to schedule an appointment. At Larry's, we separate our services according to whether your dog has hair that grows and needs to be cut regularly and dogs with fur who shed.
Dogs with hair need regular grooming to keep them clean and mat-free. This group includes Yorkies, Shih Tzus, Bichons and any type of Doodle. When their hair becomes matted, the kindest thing a groomer can do is to shave off the mats. This instantly makes the dog feel better and allows the skin to breathe which prevents serious skin issues that can develop underneath mats. Dogs with hair need to be combed and brushed regularly. A full service grooming appointment at Larry's includes a bath, nail trim, ear cleaning and a haircut. These appointments are performed by a skilled groomer and are scheduled in advance. Our grooming appointments are currently scheduling into the month of June.
Dogs with fur need regular baths and deshedding when they blow their coats. Some dogs do this 2 times a year and some seem to be constantly shedding. We can schedule bathing appointments usually the same day or the next. Bathing appointments include a bath, nail trim and ear cleaning. You can add services such as pawdicures which clean up the fur around and under the feet, sanitary trims and teeth brushing. Dogs in this group include Beagles, Labs, Pit Bulls and German Shepherds.
Bathing appointments can be done on non-matted grooming dogs between their regular grooming appointments.
