Every caring owner (especially those who are going to visit a grooming salon with their pet for the first time) wants to know what tools the specialist uses. It also happens that a pet is very shy, does not make contact with strangers well, and a suspicious tool in the hands of a stranger can cause it a lot of stress.
Do not be afraid. If you have carefully chosen a groomer, you should know that their professional duties include establishing contact with the animal. He or she will be able to cheer it up or calm it down, and will know how to establish a connection and attract anxious cats and dogs to him or her.
Many cats are afraid of water, while dogs can be aggressive towards strangers... Both often do not like to sit in one position for a long time without moving. An experienced professional should be able to cope with all this.
Knowledge of animal anatomy also helps the groomer to perform all the necessary grooming procedures quickly and safely.
Creativity and imagination. An experienced specialist always has something to offer you and your pet. He is aware of fashion trends and is ready to tell you all about colouring and hairstyles and cuts suitable for your pet.
If the groomer detects symptoms of any disease (for example, mange), he may recommend that you see a veterinarian. Grooming salons do not treat animals. It may also happen that the specialist refuses to interact with your pet until the animal is completely healthy. Usually, before visiting a groomer, the owner must show the master a veterinarian's certificate stating that his or her pet is healthy.
Love for our smaller brothers. Anyone who has chosen animal care as their profession must truly love them. And how else could it be? After all, cats, and especially dogs, react instantly: they show aggression if they feel that adrenaline is released into the bloodstream (this happens if the groomer feels fear or hostility when in contact with the animal).
