Luckily, with so many great products for dogs, problems with irritated skin and dandruff can be treated successfully in the salon. Lack of proper nutrition or allergies can be the source of this problem. See your veterinarian if symptoms worsen or do not improve.
This depends on the breed, the activity of the dog, and how much maintenance the owner does at home. A general rule of thumb is 4-6 weeks.
In general, longer hair dogs should be brushed regularly in between grooming appointments. Remember that all dogs, no matter what breed, should be groomed periodically to maintain healthy skins and coats.
I certainly identify with the fear of leaving “your baby” with a stranger for any given minute. It is essential for the client to feel good about handing over their pet to the groomer with confidence. Proper grooming techniques are constantly introduced with a gentle and sensitive approach, which I believe and abide by. Every pet is kept in a separate cage which is cleaned daily.
