Pet Grooming in Concord

Concord'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

New Hampshire law, as the City Clerk's page explains, requires the owner of every dog four months old or older to license it each year with the clerk of the city or town where the dog is kept. In Concord a license is effective from May 1 to April 30 of the following year, whenever you buy it, and the clerk needs updated rabies information on file or a rabies certificate when you license. You can renew in person, by mail or online, and the city does not send invoices. Groomers will also ask for proof of rabies vaccination.

Winter salt and spring mud

Concord winters mean snow, ice and salted sidewalks. Wipe your dog's paws after walks, and ask your groomer to keep the fur between the pads trimmed so ice and salt do not build up. In spring and summer, expect mud and ticks; a quick check after woodland walks helps. 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.
