Not sure whether your pet can wait another week? These are the tell-tale signs our groomers look for.
1. Tangles and mats
If your brush snags or you can feel clumps close to the skin, it is time. Mats only get tighter and are much kinder to remove early.
2. A change in smell
A “doggy” smell that lingers after a wipe-down often means oil and dirt have built up in the coat — or that ears need attention.
3. Clicking nails
Hearing nails tap on the floor is a sign they are long enough to affect your pet’s posture.
4. Scratching and licking
Frequent scratching can point to dry skin, trapped debris or pests. A bath with a soothing shampoo and a proper check helps you find out which.
5. Fur in the eyes or around the paws
Overgrown fur around the face and paw pads affects vision and grip. A tidy trim makes a big difference.
