Top Tips For Choosing A Pet Salon San Antonio

By Joseph Martin


Having a pet and taking care of them properly can go far beyond simply feeding and exercising them. If you have a dog or cat that has very long hair, you may need to look into having them groomed professionally. The right pet salon San Antonio will be able to do this for your companion and leave them looking beautiful while making the process as pleasant and relaxing as possible. Here are some tips that you can use to choose a reputable salon to groom your pet for you.

While many people think that grooming is only needed to make a dog look good, this isn't the case. Some dogs can end up with thick tangles that can become very tight and heavy. The skin underneath can't breathe and it may end up becoming inflamed and infected. To avoid this, a dog may need to be combed out and any mats may need to be shaved off.

Different breeds of dog have different kinds of coats. Some are longer and thicker than others. Some dogs do not shed while others do. There are some dogs that have double coats which may not recover well from being shaved down.

Many people love the whimsical look of certain breed-specific hair styles. Poodles, for example, are often styled with short backs and legs. Longer fur is left on their legs, tails, heads and ears. Schnauzers are another breed that has a breed-specific hairstyle. If you have a dog that has a style that is specific to that breed you may want to make sure that a groomer is able to replicate it properly.

There are certain breeds of dog that are quite large. This doesn't mean that they don't need grooming. If you have an extremely large canine, you may want to make sure that a particular pet salon is equipped to handle your pup. Some salons tend to specialize in smaller breeds as larger ones may be difficult to handle.

Long haired cat owners often don't realize that they can also benefit from a trip to the groomer. If the fur gets matted it may need to be shaved off. Sometimes only the hind end may need to be shaved while other times the entire feline may need to be clipped. Some salons will not work with cats so it may take some searching to find one that works with your needs.

Although some salons may seem like they charge quite a bit for their services, keep in mind that this is often based on how large the animal is and what their coat is like. Large, long haired dogs will often cost more because they take more time to wash and dry. Cutting the coat with scissors instead of clippers will also affect the price as it takes more time to do.

If you are not sure where to look for potential salons, you may be able to start your search at a local pet store. They will likely have heard feedback from their customers and be able to steer you towards more reputable establishments. Otherwise you may want to check online or speak with pet owners about where they get their pets groomed.
