Grooming a dog who can’t stand for long

Older dogs still need grooming, often more than ever, but their bodies need a different approach.

What we change for seniors

A thick mat on the table, shorter sessions with rest breaks, lower dryer settings and a groomer who reads your vet notes before starting.

Questions to ask any groomer
