Pet Grooming in Prescott

Prescott'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.

Ask about experience

The Arizona Commerce Authority tells people starting a pet grooming business to contact the local county health or environmental services department about any permits it may require, so it is fair to ask a groomer what applies to them. Before the first visit, ask how long the groomer has worked, where they trained and whether they groom your breed often.

• 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

Yavapai Humane Society says licensing your dog is the law in all local communities. Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley and unincorporated Yavapai County each have their own license and fees, so license your dog with the body that covers your address. Yavapai Humane Society's Lost & Found Pet Center can issue licenses for Prescott and Yavapai County, and you should bring proof of rabies vaccination; Prescott Valley licenses are available only online. Groomers will also ask for proof of rabies vaccination.

Sun, cold and coat care

Prescott's seasons swing from warm summer days to cold winter mornings. In summer, book early appointments, never leave your dog in a parked car, and 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, ask your groomer to leave enough coat length for warmth, and wipe paws after walks on treated or icy paths.
