Groomers Are Growing

The pet industry is not only growing with veterinarians and pet stores, but also with grooming. Grooming is a staple for a pet because it promotes a healthy coat as well as good health all around. Grooming usually consists of nail trimming, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, bath, haircut, and if you know what it is, expressing anal glands. All of these things are important to a pet because if they are not done, they can lead to bigger health problems. For example, nails can grow into pads, ear infections can develop, teeth can build tarter which leads to cavities, and skin problems can develop (like hot spots and dry skin).

Now more than ever, groomers are coming up with innovative ideas that make it more convenient for owners to get their pets groomed. One huge innovative idea that more and more groomers are participating in is mobile grooming. A groomer will come to your house in a mobile unit and take care of all your pet's grooming needs. At Aussie Pet Mobile of Cincinnati, they provide your pet with all the basics in their mobile unit but also offer extras like special shampoos and nail filing. The shampoos they have are either basic, organic, itch-relief, or one called Furminator.

Furminator is a special shampoo and solution that is used on the pet's coat that treats the undercoat. It greatly reduces shedding for about six weeks on the first treatment. Shampoos such as these are making it easier for owners to control the problems with their pet. And although such things such as Furminator and mobile pet grooming may be a tad more expensive than your regular groomer, they are well worth it if you have a busy schedule and not a lot of time to take your pet to a groomer.

Another innovation in grooming is the Clipper Vac. Although the Clipper Vac has been around for a while, many groomers still don't use it. The Clipper Vac saves the groomer time on grooming and reduces time for the pet being at the groomer. I know this is true because I use one myself at my grooming business. They are a great time saver for those pets who stress out at the groomer. I have many clients that come to me because they don't like to leave their pet at the groomer that long because of fear of stress for their pet. On average I only take an hour to two hours on a pet where other groomers might take four hours.

Also, for those owners who don't want to pay extra for mobile grooming and have a tight schedule where they can't pick their pet up right away. visit groomers that let you drop of your pet in the morning before work, and pick up after work. For example, on place called Paws is a dog day care that provides full service grooming. They provide every service that a regular groomer provides but at the same time they entertain your pet until you are able to come pick them up after work. This idea is convenient for many people who have a tight schedule.

Innovations in pet grooming such as mobile grooming, all day grooming, special shampoos, and the Clipper Vac by M.D.C. Romani, Inc. make it easier and more convenient for owners to get their pet groomed. With all of these innovative ideas, more owners are willing to get their pet groomed. These ideas all contribute to the growth of the animal industry.
