What services are included in a pet grooming session?

Based on information from groomers in our directory, standard pet grooming services typically include a pre-grooming consultation to assess coat condition and discuss your preferences, followed by a complete bath with appropriate shampoo and conditioner. This is followed by blow-drying, brush-out to remove loose fur, haircut or trim according to breed standard or your specifications, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and often anal gland expression when needed. Most sessions also include eye area cleaning, paw pad trimming, and a light spritz of pet-safe cologne. Many groomers offer tiered service packages, with premium options adding services like de-shedding treatments, specialized skin therapies, teeth brushing, and more elaborate styling options. Additional services often available at extra cost include de-matting for severely tangled coats, flea treatments, medicated baths, and creative coloring or styling. We recommend contacting specific groomers directly to confirm exactly what's included in their standard services, as offerings can vary significantly between providers.
