Here are a few common terms and phrases that are used around professional grooming salons to explain everyday procedures and coat trims.

I'm a fan of both the Andis and Oster clippers for dogs. Other brands that I've tried do not seem to have sufficient power to work through a dense coat. Be sure to use either a longer blade or guards to cut Mia's coat to your desired length. Personally, I like using a 3 3/4 blade for my fluffy pup. Hope this helps!

He is quite handsome. It looks like he is due for his distemper/parvo vaccine and Bordetella vaccine. He will be due for his rabies at the beginning of March. In order to keep all of his vaccines together, I would go ahead and have all of his vaccines updated before having him groomed. I hope this helps!

Petco requires animals in our care to meet certain vaccination requirements based on age and type of animal. All required vaccinations must be up to date. See the table below for required vaccinations. Required vaccinations for grooming: ----------------------------------- ### Dog - **Under 16 weeks:** Puppy Starter (Parvovirus, Hepatitis, Distemper). Puppies must have completed at least 2 sets of shots before being admitted into the Grooming Salon. - **16 weeks and older:** Rabies: All dogs must wait 24 hours after receiving any vaccination before being admitted into the Grooming Salon. - **New York City:** requires that every dog sheltered, maintained, harbored, fed, watered or groomed be vaccinated for rabies, distemper, hepatitis, para-influenza, and parvovirus within past three years and for Bordetella within the past six months. - Due to vaccination limitations with Wolf hybrids, these pets will not be accepted for any services/events in any Petco facility. This includes, but is not limited to, Grooming, Dog Training, Pooch, Adoption events, Veterinary Clinics, etc. ### Cat - **Under 16 weeks:** Parvovirus (Panleukopenia), Herpesvirus-1 (Viral Rhinotracheitis), Calicivirus, First Year Boosters - **16 weeks and older:** Rabies **Required Vaccinations for Dog Training:** - Under 16 weeks: puppy starter (Parvovirus, Hepatitis, Distemper) - 16 weeks and older: rabies - Note: puppies must have at least their first set of Puppy shots a minimum of two weeks prior to the start of the class. **Acceptable Proof of Vaccinations:** - Vaccination Record from the Veterinarian's office, rescue group, or breeder - Typed letter on Veterinary Clinics letterhead. Letter must state the vaccination(s) given to the pet and must be signed by the Veterinarian who administered the vaccination(s). - If the pet parent cannot provide proof of vaccinations, ask for the Veterinarian's phone number and call them while the pet parent is present and request that they fax a letter (on Veterinary Clinic's letterhead ) or a copy of the pet's medical records showing current vaccinations. - A rabies tag on the pet's collar is not acceptable proof of vaccination. - Petco does not accept for any reason any pets where the pet parent administered the rabies vaccination themselves. All vaccinations must be administered or supervised by a Veterinarian. - Proof of vaccinations is not required for use of the Self-Service Pet Wash - Petco does not require vaccinations in our Hawaii stores.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! As long as they aren't irritated by the products used and they aren't cut too close resulting in razor burn they shouldn't. I HAVE seen dogs present to the Vet with skin irritation after being groomed. It doesn't happen to ALL dogs though. Good luck!
