Pet Grooming in Bountiful

Bountiful's groomers range from neighborhood salons and pet-store grooming counters to mobile vans that work from your driveway. A full groom usually covers a bath, haircut, nail trim and ear cleaning; most groomers also offer bath-only visits, de-shedding and quick tidy-ups between full grooms.

Experience matters

Ask how long the groomer has worked, where they trained and whether they groom your breed often. Before the first visit:

• Tell the groomer about your dog's health, age and temperament.
• Ask how dogs are dried; if a cage dryer is used, someone should check the dog often.
• Ask which vaccines they require, and reschedule if your dog is coughing.
• If the coat is badly matted, ask about a short clip rather than hours of brushing out.

Your dog's license

Dog licensing and animal control in Bountiful come through Animal Care of Davis County rather than a city office. The county's licensing page says all dogs over the age of four months are required to be licensed in Davis County, with proof of a current rabies vaccination, and its field services page lists Bountiful among the cities its officers serve. Licenses are sold online and at the county shelter in Fruit Heights. Groomers will also ask for proof of rabies vaccination.

Vaccines

Groomers will ask for proof of rabies vaccination, and many also ask for DHPP and Bordetella. Keep vaccines current, and ask your groomer how they clean tables and tubs between dogs.

Summer heat and winter salt

Summers here can be hot. Book early-morning appointments, walk on grass rather than hot pavement, and never leave your dog in a parked car. For double-coated breeds such as huskies and shepherds, ask for a de-shed rather than a shave: the undercoat protects them from heat and sunburn. In winter, wipe your dog's paws after walks on salted sidewalks and ask your groomer to keep the fur between the pads trimmed.

Davis County Animal Care also lists pets left in hot cars among the immediate threats to an animal that it responds to.
