Dog Grooming FAQ

Practical answers for Carrara pet owners

How should I maintain my dog's coat between grooming appointments?

Between professional grooming visits, maintain your dog's coat with regular brushing appropriate to their coat type (daily for long-haired breeds, 2-3 times weekly for medium coats, weekly for short coats). Check and clean ears weekly, brush teeth regularly, and keep an eye on nail length. Ask your Carrara groomer to recommend specific home-care products for your dog's particular needs.

Are mobile grooming services available in our area?

Yes, many mobile groomers service Carrara and the broader Gold Coast area. These fully-equipped grooming vans come to your home, which can be ideal for dogs that get stressed during car rides or in busy salon environments. Mobile services typically cost $10-30 more than in-salon grooming but offer the convenience of not having to transport your pet.

What questions should I ask before choosing a groomer?

When researching groomers in Carrara, ask about their experience with your specific breed, their handling methods for difficult or anxious dogs, what products they use, their COVID safety protocols, and whether you can view their facility. It's also worth asking about their policy for breaks during grooming sessions and how they handle unexpected issues like finding skin problems or mats.

Do I need to prepare my dog before their grooming appointment?

To get the most from your grooming appointment, brush your dog thoroughly a day or two before if possible (especially if they're matted). Take them for a walk to relieve themselves before arriving. If it's their first visit, bring vaccination records and inform the groomer about any health issues, sensitivities, or behavioral concerns your dog might have.
