Between Visits to the Dog Groomer

Bromley and Orpingtons Premier Dog Groomer

All dogs need and appreciate regular grooming.

Grooming not only helps your dog look his best but also keeps him clean and healthy. These sessions not only stimulate the circulation and improve muscle tone, but also give you the opportunity to check for any potential problems such as lumps, bumps or mats or external parasites. Other benefits also include the removal of excess hairs from his coat that may end up on your furniture or carpet and of course the chance to spend extra time with your dog, therefore increasing the bond between the two of you.

Coat condition is also a good indicator of overall health and an ideal opportunity for you to notice any changes in your dog’s coat. Normally, the coat should be sleek and glossy. Consequently, if there are any changes, this may be an early sign of health changes and we would advise discussing these changes with your veterinary surgery.

Certain breeds may require more grooming than others. For instance, longhaired dogs may require clipping on a regular basis as well as a daily routine. Basic equipment may differ with each coat-type as well. Longhaired dogs may need a long tooth comb, whereas short-haired dogs may need a coarse brush. However, grooming may be quite painful for some dogs, particularly if they are not used to being groomed or are experiencing health issues. Even if you think you are being very gentle your dog may feel otherwise. This can lead to a negative experience for your dog and make the sessions worse each time you attempt to groom him.

In cases such as these, a soft grooming mitt or rubber brush coupled with some tips should make this experience easier for both of you.

Dog Grooming checklist:

Brushing:

We would suggest grooming your dog at least once a day. A ten-minute session is normally adequate for most short-medium breeds of dogs. However, a long-haired dog may require slightly longer.

Feet & Nails:

Examine your dog’s feet daily (particularly long-haired breeds), to check for any matts or foreign objects between the toes (burrs/grass-seeds). Nails may need to be clipped if not being adequately worn down by daily activity. This may be something that you can do at home, however should you need any assistance, your vet will be able to provide you with some tips.

Skin:

Run your hands over your dog’s coat to check for any lumps, bumps or matts. Should you find anything out of the ordinary, please discuss this with your vet.

Fleas:

It is uncommon to find adult fleas on living on your pet as they prefer them to live in the environment and then periodically jump on your dog for food! However, you may find small black particles on your dog’s skin, these may be deposits of flea dirt. If your dog has fleas, we would suggest discussing a flea-control program with your veterinary surgery.

I have 3 Schnauzers in which Jilly has groomed for many years. Her service is personal and second to none. Jilly is not only an amazing dog groomer but also a very lovely and caring lady. Our dogs always look forward to going for their cut which as a dog owner is very reassuring. And to top it off they come out looking beautiful!!! x

Jill is the only dog groomer we trust with our two dogs Bert & Poppy. We first found Jill over 5 years ago and since then she has grown into a family friend. Our dogs love and trust her too which is extremely important to us. To be honest we will probably never stop using Jill. Once you have a relationship and trust then people like Jill deserve your loyalty in return. I just cant rate her service highly enough. Bert says woof in agreement.

Just took my puppy beau to get a groom we had previously had a bad experience at a different groomer so I was a bit apprehensive. I didn’t need to be! Jilly is lovely! Beau looked beautiful! She cut in the exact style I asked for she is so talented! Most importantly to me I picked up a happy puppy! I’m sooo pleased! I would give 10 stars if I could!

Jilly is such a kind & lovely lady making me & the dog very welcome into her home! She is the only person I trust to pamper my little Maltese! She also does one amazing job! Will never look else where!

Julie Presland

Used Jilly for the first time nd can’t tell you how delighted we were with the result. Rosie was o regrown due to lockdown but Jilly groomed her so well. Normally a nervous dog with a tendency to be subdued after a trim, Rosie was surprisingly upbeat and happy immediately afterwards. Would highly recommend Jilly and wouldn’t go anywhere else now. Thank you Jilly.
