Doos4Dogs Groomers Keep Your Dog Clean and Healthy 

As professional groomers, the number one reason customers give us for grooming their dogs at home is cost. That's not unexpected, since most services in are comparably pricey, including dog grooming. The second most popular reason for avoiding the groomers is time. People generally don't have time to drop off their animal for the day or to wait at the groomers for their dog. And the third is the well being of their dog. Many dog owners have animals with personality quirks, anxieties or skin sensitivity.

All of the above reasons for grooming your dog at home are understandable. Though there are affordable, local, convenient groomers that are also very sensitive to dogs' needs and well being. The Doos4Dogs is one of those dog grooming businesses. They opened their doors for the explicit purpose of offering reasonable grooming services a short drive.

Top 3 Reasons to Use a Groomer

1. GROOMING AT HOME MAKES A HUGE MESS

Anyone who has a medium to large size dog has experienced the mess of grooming at home.  Fur gets everywhere, doing its best to clog whatever drain has the misfortune of being nearby. Doing it in your own tub can work, but the clean up necessary afterward to remove the fur and shampoo residue isn't worth it. 
Sure, you can custom build a dog wash. Preferably with Italian marble and top of the line European shower system. In reality, very few of us have the space or money to create a bathing space for our canine friends. 

The self-washes at The Doos4Dogs, for instance, ARE custom designed and built for convenience, efficiency and comfort. At the groomers, the baths and hand sprays used to wash our customers' dogs are built for one purpose: to clean very furry, sometimes large creatures on a daily basis. The best part? No clean up for you. 

2. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING 

Without sounding harsh, most dog owners don't know the correct way to groom their dog. Why? They haven't been trained, certified and licensed to do it professionally. A loyal customer once asked, "Why does my Husky-mix freak out when I try to clip his nails at home, but when you do it he's calm? With you it goes so quickly!"
The only real answer was, "Because you don't know what you're doing." 
She laughed and said, "That makes sense."
 Groomers are taught the correct angles, positions and techniques to ensure an efficient, effective, comfortable experience for your dog. Groomers are also not nervous or anxious when taking care of your dog, and the dogs pick up on the calm vibes. The same holds for shampoos, haircuts, trims, anti-itch baths and all grooming services. You ever wonder why you end up soaking wet when washing your dog, but the groomer stays dry and calm? It's the training and experience. 

3. GROOMING AT HOME IS LESS HEALTHY FOR YOUR DOG

Of all the reasons to bring your dog to a groomer, this is the most important. Your dog's health is most important when it comes to drying after a bath or shampoo. Most homeowners towel-dry their dogs after baths. But there a is reason groomers like Doos4Dogs use high velocity, forced air dryers with no heating coil. These dryers allow the groomer to safely see the skin and ensure it is dry. Too many times we've seen dogs with skin infections that were caused by moisture on the skin. When the skin isn't completely dry, there is always a small chance that bacteria and other microbes can grow, creating the chance for infection. 


When considering the benefits and the negatives of bringing your dog to a groomer, many people overlook that it is better for the overall health of your dog. And the dog's experience is better, due to the training and knowledge of a good, caring groomer like Doos4Dogs.
