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.

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

Consider booking during quieter times and bringing familiar items from home.
