Create your pet's ideal grooming routine


Grooming services are only good for your pet if they meet your pet’s needs or increase their comfort. It isn’t always easy to know what your pet needs, especially if they are a recent addition to the family. For example, certain dog breeds have double coats that require special care. While most groomers can give you advice about what kinds of services your pet may need, exotic pets or animals with special needs or underlying medical issues could have more specific requirements. Book a virtual vet appointment with Vetster in these cases to get advice.

Frequently Asked Questions


Not all dog groomers also groom cats, but it is common for those who groom dogs to also groom cats. If you have smaller animals or more exotic pets, however, you may need a specialist groomer. If you have concerns or a pet with specific needs, reach out to potential groomers directly and ask if they can provide the services you need.
Long-haired dogs need more attention than short-haired dogs when it comes to hygiene and grooming, but how much depends on several factors. If you have very active long-haired dogs that are outdoors a lot, for example, brushing their coat twice a day, washing it every four to six weeks, and having it cut every two to three months is ideal.
Issues like separation anxiety can make pets nervous or reactive when they are in unfamiliar situations, but most experienced pet groomers are equipped to cope with this. As long as your pet doesn’t have a habit of biting or scratching when they are anxious, groomers will work with them in a way that keeps them calm and comfortable.
