A trip to the groomer can be stressful to dogs and cats alike. The trip itself, the strange sights, sounds, scents, etc. can be overwhelming for pets.

Visits to the vet or the groomer have to be undertaken at anytime of the year, thus pets should get used to riding in a car and going to new places as early as possible. Make sure that these excursions are positive experiences for your pet. Bring along plenty of his favorite treats and toys. Being placed inside a crate with his favorite blanket while traveling can also help keep pets calm and comfortable. Always remember to give your pet some treats after the grooming session to help create a positive association between grooming and good behavior during grooming.

Do consult with your veterinarian Temecula CA if you have any concerns about your pet’s behavior.
