Starting out right
Puppy first groom in Fort Myers, kept short and sweet.
A first visit is brief and friendly: a warm bath, a gentle blow dry, a neat trim around the face and feet and a nail clip. Starting in Fort Myers before the summer heat and rain makes coat care easier for young dogs to accept.
What shapes the first visit.
The groomer's goal is a puppy who finds grooming normal, not a perfect haircut.
- Puppy sessions are shorter, so they cost less than adult grooms.
- Vaccination proof is almost always required, so bring the paperwork.
- Get your puppy used to touching of paws, ears and tail ahead of time.
- Choose a calm time of day and skip a big meal right before the visit.
- Repeat visits every few weeks help the puppy trust the routine.
- Tell the groomer about any nerves or sensitivities.
