Dog Grooming FAQ

Practical answers for Kingston pet owners

My dog gets anxious during grooming. What can I do?

Many Kingston groomers specialize in handling nervous pets. Start with short, positive visits where nothing stressful happens. Consider booking during quieter times and bringing familiar items from home. Some groomers offer special services for anxious dogs, including extra breaks, calming techniques, or even separate rooms away from other animals.

Are mobile grooming services available in our area?

Yes, many mobile groomers service Kingston and the broader Hobart 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.

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 Kingston groomer to recommend specific home-care products for your dog's particular needs.

What questions should I ask before choosing a groomer?

When researching groomers in Kingston, 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.
