What is Premium Pet Grooming?
At Bark of All Trades, LLC, premium pet grooming is both the products I use, and the process I follow. Premium means:
One On One cage free grooming session, at your door!
Tailored to your dog’s behavior and personality, AND with the scents, sounds, and comfort of their own front yard! I also take my time. No rushing, no stressful “energy”.
Consistant Experience For Your Dog
Dog’s are most calm in a consistent environment, and I always see them relax more an more with every visit. This is because they remember the smells, and the sounds, and they realize that I am not in the business of surprises. Dogs don’t like surprises. I give them cues for every step in the process. This gives them a chance to adjust for each step on their own. This is where trust is built between me and your dog.
A Completely Dry Dog
My grooming trailer is equipt with a top of the line forced air dryer that is designed to minimizes motor noise. I utilize a “Happy Hoodie” on every dog. This minimizes the air flow noise of the drying process, and keeps the breeze out of their ears. Of course, forced air is many times not tolerated around the face (I never use forced air directly AT the face!), and some behavior or health issues may also limit its use around other sensitive areas. In these cases, I use more passive fans that dry as I work on other steps of the groom, such as brushing, nail trims and sanitary trim. *In rare cases, I may deem a complete drying to be a danger to the pet. I reserve the right to do what is best for their safety in those cases*
Premium Equipment
Top of the line equipment not only helps me, but also makes grooming more comfortable for your pet. For shortening toenails I use a rotary tool with a high quality DiamaGroove diamond bit that smoothly takes off nail length without uncomfortable heat or vibration on the pet’s nails. They are often much more tolerant of this than nail clippers. I utilize a Clipper Vac system (which is exactly what it sounds like, a vacuum for clippers) for multiple benefits to your pet. The rotary tool attaches during nail trims to minimize hazardous nail dust in the air, and the air flow adds to keeping the bit cool. My clippers attach to the vac, but this is not only to keep hair from entering the environment. This vac minimizes leg and feet sensitivities by gently picking up the hair, allowing the clipper to “float” over the sensitive areas instead of touching the blade to the dog.
Clean Equipment
Attention To Detail
Every full groom receives a hand scissored finish. This is the only way to ensure a neat, tidy, and uniformly finished groom.
