Our groomers have spent many hours handling stressed, anxious, or aggravated animals. In cases where your pet is especially fearful or aggressive, we might recommend sedation for the pet grooming session. Most of the time, however, our vets can manage the animal with the following steps:
Frequent breaks
A quiet, peaceful environment
Offering treats
Opening a window or playing music
Asking a dog to do something it knows (like 'sit' or 'shake')
