Makeover-Hannah

Here at Midtown we get lots of Puppies! There is a lot that goes into grooming a puppy for the first time. They can be wiggly squigglies, so patience is a virtue. We have to train these little guys to sit still on the table so they can look good for their parents. They might also be going from their puppy coat to their adult coat, and so matting can occur. Brushing out the matts isn't easy for young ones so a shave down could be in order.

Last week, however; we had Hannah. She was a complete doll! She was a little wiggly when she was getting blown dry, but after that she was a natural. And she looks so gorgeous after her first groom. We didn't have to shave her down at all. Her owners brush her every day so all she had to get was a little trim and nice bow on top! Voila! Instant Glamor!

Now she can see what's going on around her. No more hair in the eyes. She was so happy!

The fact that her owners brush her every day prepared her for the grooming process. She wasn't scared or nervous when we started brushing her and even when the clippers were on her body she didn't mind one bit. She was used to being handled and touched in that way. Also, because she wasn't matted she didn't have endure the shave down.

So let this be a lesson in brushing and grooming your puppy, or even your older dog. It helps you and helps us take better care of your pet. It will also save you money in the long run. We won't have to charge you the "de-matting" fee, or the larger shave down price.
