Pet Grooming in New Braunfels

New Braunfels'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.

Questions to ask

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.

Pet registration in New Braunfels

New Braunfels asks residents to register their pets. If you live in the city limits and your dog or cat is older than 4 months and has had its rabies vaccine, you need to register. Registration is done online with a current rabies certificate and a photo of each pet, and the city says there is no fee for registration at this time, but registration is required per City Ordinance. A registered pet can be reunited with you faster if it is found. The city's Animal Welfare and Rescue officers also handle inspecting local animal shops and grooming parlors. Texas law requires rabies vaccination by four months of age, and groomers will ask for proof.

Summer heat and cold snaps

The city's hot weather tips say to exercise pets in the early morning or in the evening and to feel the asphalt yourself before a walk, and to never leave a pet alone in a vehicle. Book summer grooming early in the day and carry small dogs across hot parking lots. In a winter freeze, make sure your dog is fully dry before it goes outside. 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.
