Bring Your Dog to a Professional Groomer This Holiday Season
Holidays mean different things to dog owners. For one, you don’t want your leave your four-legged friend out of the festivities, which is why Care-A-Lot Pet Supply offers an array of toys and accessories that make great gifts for your pets. You also need to consider pet safety as you decorate, and we have tips to help you take care of that. As you’re planning your gift shopping strategy and working out baking schedules with the family, though, we also recommend setting an appointment with a professional dog groomer before the holiday rush.
Grooming is an essential part of dog care, any time of the year. A clean dog is a happy dog, and when your furry friend is happy your home is filled with joy. You may handle some tasks like checking paws and nails and combing out shaggy fur, and that’s fine. As it gets colder, a professional grooming can benefit your dog’s well-being in many ways.
Picture Time! What’s a family holiday picture without the entire family? A professional shampoo and trim give your dog a lustrous, beautiful coat, which will nicely complement your family’s matching sweaters against that snowy backdrop at the photo studio. If you have your dog’s picture taken with Santa (like we do at our physical locations), you definitely want them looking their best when they meet the big guy.
Winter Well-Being - A groomer knows to look for certain things, especially in cold weather. The weather can affect your dog’s paws and skin, and while you may be observant a groomer may catch cracked nails and other irritants. A professional nail trimming, ear cleaning and a thorough flea and tick bath can improve your dog’s appearance and well-being during the holiday season.
Smell That? We associate so many aromas with the holidays: fresh pine, warm sugar cookies...why not a clean pet? Talk with your dog’s groomer about special rinses and shampoos designed not only to give your dog’s coat a healthy shine, but to leave a lasting, clean scent.
If you live in the Hampton Roads area, you can make an appointment online for dog grooming or bathing at any of our three locations. Our online store also offers a wide selection of home dog grooming products for year-round care. Let Care-A-Lot Pet Supply and Care-A-Lot Pet Resorts help make this the best holiday season ever for all your four-legged family.
