At what age for grooming ? 1 Attachment(s) Annabelle is almost 4 months at what age is good to start at the groomers ? ( never had a dog we had to take to a groomer ) I have noticed she is getting lighter in color and all the lighter hair grows faster then the black hair is this normal ? |
You can take her once she has completed all her puppy shots, If you plan on using a groomer I also recommend the kennel cough vaccine! |
Not sure about the hair growth thing, but as far as when to start the groomers - anytime after she's had all her vaccines. Sometimes they're done by 4 months, sometimes they haven't had the rabies vacc. yet, it depends on what age the vaccs. were started. If she still has another appt. for vaccines, wait till about a week or two after the last one:). |
As soon as your puppy has all their shots you should start taking them. Even if it is just for a bath and blow dry and you don't want to cut their hair yet. This way they get used to the groomer. Also, I always recommend getting your puppy as used to the sights and sounds they will hear at the groomer as soon as you bring them home. I brought mine in the bathroom while I blow dried my hair and I would blow cold air from the dryer on them. I also bathed them myself at home. I brushed them even if they didnt need it. Just some ideas- the better they are at the groomer, the less stress the whole experience will be for them. |
4 Attachment(s) I agree.... A.S.A.P = you should start grooming at home! Get her use to being handled and brushed. It's a good way to start teaching her her commands such as (sit & stay) which are two commands that are crucial for grooming.

I started grooming at home the day Harley came in the door, that way he learned to behave and not be scared of the equipment, as for taking them to the groomers, as soon as they have their vaccines. |
thanks for the info Annabelle has had all shots except the rabbies shot Vet wants to wait until she is over the 5 lbs mark I have been bathing her and brushing her since we got her |
I just took one to the groomers for the first time and she didn't like it..but she looked so sweet in a summer cut and it sure makes daily care a lot easier |
