Senior dogs often need a different approach to grooming. Reduced mobility, arthritis, thinning skin and lower tolerance for standing for long periods all call for extra patience, shorter sessions and a gentler touch.
At The Whistler Grooming, we adapt our process for older dogs, including supportive handling, non-slip surfaces, more frequent breaks, and softer bathing and drying techniques to avoid unnecessary stress on ageing joints.
We also pay close attention to changes in skin, coat and mobility that owners can mention to their vet, and we're happy to work at whatever pace keeps your senior dog comfortable, even if that means splitting a groom over two shorter visits.
Give your senior dog a calm, comfortable grooming experience. Book an appointment with The Whistler Grooming in Albion Park Rail, servicing the Illawarra region.
