A New Pet Owner's Guide to Choosing a Pet Salon San Antonio

By Joseph Martin


Having a pet and taking care of them properly can go far beyond simply feeding and exercising them. If you have a dog or cat that has very long hair, you may need to look into having them groomed professionally. The right pet salon San Antonio will be able to do this for your companion and leave them looking beautiful while making the process as pleasant and relaxing as possible. Here are some tips that you can use to choose a reputable salon to groom your pet for you.

While a beautiful, thick coat can look beautiful, it often means that there is a lot of work involved. Some breeds of dogs and cats will need a lot of brushing. Cutting or clipping their hair is also needed in many cases to keep the coat looking its best. If mats begin to develop they can often become quite tight to the skin especially if the fur gets wet for whatever reason. In time, these mats can leave sores as the skin may not be able to breathe or dry out properly.

Different breeds of dog have different kinds of coats. Some are longer and thicker than others. Some dogs do not shed while others do. There are some dogs that have double coats which may not recover well from being shaved down.

Once you start looking into dog grooming, you will quickly find out that some breeds have very specific hair styles. If you have ever seen a poodle at a dog show you will have seen an example of a breed cut. Not all groomers will be able to recreate these hairstyles. If it is important to you to have a dog with this kind of hair style you will need to talk to the groomer about it.

There are certain breeds of dog that are quite large. This doesn't mean that they don't need grooming. If you have an extremely large canine, you may want to make sure that a particular pet salon is equipped to handle your pup. Some salons tend to specialize in smaller breeds as larger ones may be difficult to handle.

Cats will often need grooming as well. Shorter-haired breeds may be able to look after their own coat care but longer haired breeds may need some help. This is particularly true if they are older and less agile. Very badly matted fur may need to be clipped off. You should make sure that a salon has experience and interest in grooming your feline.

You may wonder how a salon will come up with its pricing structure. The cost often depends on how long the pup will take to groom and whether it can be done with clippers or whether it must be hand scissored which is quite labor-intensive.

Finding names of salons to check out is not hard. You can inquire in pet stores or look online. Never be afraid to visit a salon and check it out. Look for clean facilities and tables that are strong enough and stable enough to hold your pet securely.
