What you should know

As experience shows, not everyone fully understands what pet care really involves or what a pet stylist does. Let’s briefly and clearly explain these concepts.

What Is Pet Care?

Pet care is a comprehensive service consisting of several procedures that complement each other. Contrary to popular belief, its purpose is not only to give your pet a beautiful haircut and shiny coat, but also to maintain your dog’s health, hygiene, and overall well-being.

What does pet care consist of? Here are the main procedures included in full dog grooming:

  • • Washing and drying (using special means)
  • • Removing of hairballs and untangling of fur (if necessary)
  • • A dog’s haircut
  • • Trimming and stripping (unnatural molting)
  • • Cleaning of the paranal glands (if necessary)
  • • Ear treatment (cleaning and washing)
  • • Eye treatment (using special antiseptic products)
  • • Treatment of nasal sinuses (cleaning)
  • • Treatment of the oral cavity (teeth cleaning)
  • • Claw care (trimming, sharpening, etc.)
  • • Prophylactic antiparasitic treatment

Naturally, all of these procedures don’t have to be done at once. During the appointment, our pet stylist will listen to your preferences and, together with you, create a personalized care plan that includes only the procedures your pet truly needs.

Who Is a Pet Stylist?

A pet stylist is a professional in animal care. The skills of a good specialist go far beyond giving a dog a haircut. A true pet stylist understands canine psychology, knows anatomy, and the structure and characteristics of the skin and coat across different breeds. They can work quickly, safely, and efficiently with various tools. A pet stylist is not just a dog hairdresser, but rather a stylist and spa expert for pets.

Types of Pet Care

Pet care can be divided into three main types:

1. Professional (Salon) Care
This is the most common and in-demand type.
It’s ideal for people who don’t have the time or the ability to perform all the necessary procedures at home.
For example, not everyone can thoroughly brush thick fur or properly trim the coat without professional tools and experience.

2. Show (Breed-Specific) Care
Before dog shows, certain breeds require not only the standard hygiene treatments but also special haircuts and trimming to maintain the correct appearance and highlight breed characteristics.

3. Creative Pet Styling
At the owner’s request, pet haircuts can take on a creative and unique look, unrestricted by breed standards or even the type of animal — allowing for stylish, artistic expression while keeping the pet safe and comfortable.

Which Dogs Need Regular Care?

The answer is simple — all of them!
In fact, some breeds require professional coat care on a regular basis.

For example:

  • • Schnauzers, Poodles, and Terriers have a coarse coat that needs to be thinned or stripped periodically.
  • • Chihuahuas and Chow Chows need regular trimming and maintenance to keep their fur in good condition.

In general, dogs with long or dense coats need coat care more frequently, while short-haired breeds usually require only regular hygiene treatments such as bathing, brushing, and claw trimming.

Features of Salon Pet Care

Many of these procedures can be done at home, so why do people prefer a salon? There are several reasons why dog owners prefer to turn to specialists:

  • • Professional tools and equipment – it’s quite expensive to buy for home use
  • • Specially equipped accommodation – it’s not always possible to have the same at home
  • • High-quality, professional grooming
  • • Prevention of diseases (dermatitis, inflammation, irritation, etc.)
  • • Reduction in molting intensity

Before visiting the salon, it’s necessary to walk the dog. Feeding should be done after visiting.
