7-point pet care check
Our grooming services start with the 7-point Pet Care Check
Our stylists visually and physically screen your pet to make sure nothing looks or feels abnormal. Let’s check together:
Eyes
Look if your pet’s eye color is bright, clear and alert. If they are not it can signal the health problems.
Teeth
Decaying teeth and swollen gums can be signs of gum disease. And healthy teeth with puffy gums signal the different health issue
Ears
Ears that are swollen, tender and have discharge are also red flags for pet stylists.
Nose
A prolonged dry, cracked nose, with loss of pigmentation, etc. can be warning signs.
Under-side
Odors, matting or insects on a pet's underside concerning issues for pet stylists.
Skin & coat
Pet stylists also check for bumps, scrapes, lumps, hot spots, warts and matting.
Nails
The nails should be shiny and healthy. The pads - moist and smooth.
