Benefits of Purchasing an At-Home Grooming Table
This investment may reduce your pet’s stress (and yours!) for life: Foldable grooming tablesare a great tool to have at home to help your pet become accustomed to grooming (or veterinary) practices. Read on for more about how purchasing a foldable grooming table can help set your pet up for success.
🐾 Full Body Checks: A foldable grooming table can be a safe elevated surface to place your dog upon for full body health checks at home, and to help them get used to the same when at the vet! Check out our blog post here for more on the importance of regularly performing full body health checks.
🐾🐾 Grooming: Of course, using this table for its intended purpose can be extremely beneficial to both you and your dogs! Doing regular maintenance like de-matting, lite grooming, nail cutting, deeper dental checks or brushing in between professional appointments will help prevent matting, allow for de-shedding (on the table, rather than on your favorite rug!) and keep your fur baby comfortable!
🐾🐾🐾 Shaping: A foldable grooming table is a wonderful tool to help create a positive association with grooming! Starting at early puppy-hood, but any age doggo will benefit: seniors, nervous dogs or those who have never been to the groomers! Shaping this positive association of the grooming table (or veterinary visits!) can help reduce a fur baby’s stress for life. Simply put your pet on the table, utilize the special table-leash attachment, and lightly “brush” or touch them, and reward (LOTS) with a high- value treat. Repeat this on several occasions before attempting an at-home grooming session to assure positive association, and continue with one grooming session per four treat sessions.
