Sandy, the owner/groomer has 18 years of experience in the field of professional pet grooming both local and in other areas of the US. I have worked in many grooming settings including shops, kennels and veterinary clinics and have owned a very busy grooming shop in Morehead City, NC. Throughout my life I have always been very involved with animals. I attend seminars and grooming expos whenever possible, I enjoy keeping up to date on the latest styles and techniques. I have a certificate in Animal Health, I am a member of NDGAA(National Dog Groomers Association of America) and NEPGP(New England Pet Grooming Professionals). I also taught small animal grooming at Thompson School of Applied Science at UNH for several semesters.

 What to expect

 When your pet comes in for grooming we will discuss your personal preference for your groom. If you don’t know I can certainly offer ideas and suggestions. Your pet is then brought out back and the process begins. He/she will receive a brush out or haircut of choice, nails are cut and ears are cleaned and/or plucked. Then it’s over to the tub where anal glands are checked and expressed if necessary, a thorough bath with warm water and appropriate shampoo are given and any other treatments for skin or hair are administered. All bathing is done by hand this gives me the opportunity to notice any lumps, bumps, skin or health issues that need to be brought to you and your vets attention. Next comes the big scary dryer. Most pets adjust to this well if care is used to start the process, in fact, after a few grooms many of them actually begin to lean into it and enjoy it. Most of our drying is hand drying however we will partially cage dry some of the big guys to give them a break from the table. When they are dry, they are finish clipped or given their final brushout, buffed, fluffed and set to go home.
