Pet Grooming in Airdrie

Airdrie's groomers range from neighbourhood salons and pet-store grooming counters to mobile vans that park outside your home. 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.

Choosing with care

Before you book, ask a groomer how long they have worked, whether they groom your breed often, and how they keep tools and tables clean between dogs.

Your pet's licence

In a City of Airdrie article, Airdrie Municipal Enforcement says residents can buy pet licences at the Airdrie Animal Services Centre, 2 East Lake Way N.E., and that the Centre promotes licensing requirements for cats and dogs. Check with Municipal Enforcement for the current rules and renewal dates. Groomers will usually ask for proof of rabies vaccination.

Winter cold and summer heat

Calgary Animal Services advises limiting outdoor time in extremely cold weather and wiping your dog's paws with a damp cloth after walks, because the salt and chemicals used to melt snow and ice can harm paws. The City of Edmonton notes that leaving an animal in a hot car and causing it distress may result in fines or charges, and that it is not recommended to shave your dog, since a coat of fur helps protect against UV damage and keeps some of the sun's heat out. Ask your groomer to keep the fur between the pads trimmed so ice does not build up, and for double-coated breeds such as huskies and shepherds, ask for a de-shed rather than a shave.

Before the first appointment

• 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.
