Our dogs tend to be part of our family, not just ‘animals’. Our best friends frequently have a tail and four legs and get treated, well, even better than ‘real’ family members, especially when it comes to primping and preening. And when that happens, there are plenty of options for dog grooming West Hollywood.

It’s important to use a groomer who has been around for a while. Someone who can handle just about any breed in any situation. A few groomers specialize in certain sizes or breeds and they specialize in one or two types of clippings or special services only.

Sound more like something for you? Many groomers have teamed up with people spas so you and Fido can have a ‘couple’s’ treatment! Your little princess can get matching nail polish and even blonde or pink highlights to match yours. Have some extra time? Let her enjoy a hot oil massage as you have yours done next door.

Why not try a couples day? Find a groomer that is associated with a salon and have matching massages, pedicures or even hair color! Check out the new line of custom made wigs and extensions too. Fit for a king but affordable by almost everyone, these high end fashion accessories are the latest rage for owners and dogs alike.

A well qualified groomer has also been trained to spot certain diseases and sicknesses early on. Many dogs, especially larger breeds, tend to hide some problems simply with all their fur. But in the middle of nice bubble bath when they are soaking wet, things like suspicious lumps, ulcers, skin irritations, or even ribs poking through can be early signs of major problems. If your groomer points out any issues he thinks need to be addressed, heed his advice and make an appointment with your vet.

It’s important to find a groomer with lots of experience with your particular breed or breeds. An experienced groomer not only grooms and pampers, he is trained to spot health problems as well. Frequently, a dog who is completely wet, suddenly can show signs of sickness that are not visible on a regular basis. Skin conditions, bumps and lumps, or an obvious sign of unexplained weight loss can be treated when found early enough by experienced eyes.

A good groomer knows enough to check for skin conditions and other issues that might be missed until the coat is soaking wet. Some larger breeds might be losing weight and under all that hair, it might not be obvious to the owner. A groomer might be able to spot a medical condition that needs to be treated right away.
