The holiday season is just around the corner, which means it’s time to start thinking about your dog’s grooming needs for family gatherings, photos, and festive celebrations. A fresh groom can keep your dog looking sharp and feeling comfortable as you make memories together. Here are some tips for getting your pup holiday-ready!

1. Plan Ahead for Appointments

The holidays are a busy time for pet grooming. Booking your dog’s grooming appointment in advance will help you secure the best time for you and ensure your dog is ready for the season’s festivities.

2. Holiday Haircut Tips

Different coat types require different grooming strategies, especially during winter. For shorter-haired dogs, a simple trim might do. For longer-haired breeds, consider a style that keeps them warm while looking festive. Talk to your groomer about seasonal cuts that keep comfort and style in mind.

3. Add a Special Touch

A holiday accessory or scented spritz can add a festive feel to your dog’s grooming. Try a cute collar accessory, like a small bow or bandana, or go for a festive shampoo scent that matches the season.  Visit our boutique.

4. Watch Out for Winter Coat Conditions

Cold weather can bring dry skin and coat issues. Make sure your dog is moisturized with a gentle conditioner or ask your groomer about conditioning treatments that will keep their coat soft and free from irritation.

5. Paw Care for Cold Weather

Your dog’s paws can be affected by cold weather, so a paw balm can help keep them from cracking or drying. If your dog will be outside a lot, consider investing in booties to protect their paws from salt and ice.
