Pet Grooming in Coral Springs

Coral Springs's groomers range from neighborhood salons and pet spas to self-serve dog washes and 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.

Heat, humidity and the water

Florida's heat and humidity keep thick coats damp, which can lead to hot spots and skin infections, and sprinkler-soaked lawns, canals and lake water add to it after outdoor play. After a swim, rinse your dog with fresh water, brush out any sand or debris, and ask your groomer to dry the coat fully and point out irritated skin. Book summer appointments early in the day, never leave your dog in the car, and for double-coated breeds such as huskies, shepherds and golden retrievers, ask for a de-shed rather than a shave: the undercoat protects them from heat and sunburn.

Rabies and local rules

Florida law requires rabies vaccination of dogs from four months old, and groomers will ask for proof. Local registration or permit rules may also apply in Broward County, so ask Broward County Animal Care how they apply at your address. Training and experience vary, so 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.

Storm season

The state's pet preparedness page advises you to prepare a list of boarding facilities and veterinarians who could shelter animals in an emergency, and to check whether your local emergency shelter plan includes pets. Book grooming well before a forecast storm, since salons fill up and close ahead of landfall.
