Pet Grooming in St. George

St. George'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

The City of St. George requires dogs four months or older to be licensed. Tags go on sale each January 1 and expire December 31; a dog acquired during the year needs a license within ten days. The city's application asks for a rabies certificate for each dog, and the city's form says only two dogs per residence are permitted. Groomers will also ask for proof of rabies vaccination.

Vaccines

Groomers will ask for proof of rabies vaccination, and many also ask for DHPP and Bordetella. Keep vaccines current, and ask your groomer how they clean tables and tubs between dogs.

Summer heat and winter salt

Summers here can be hot. Book early-morning appointments, walk on grass rather than hot pavement, and never leave your dog in a parked car. 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, wipe your dog's paws after walks on salted sidewalks and ask your groomer to keep the fur between the pads trimmed.
