Question 2: What does a full grooming service include?
​The Full Groom package offers more than a simple bath; it presents a holistic grooming experience. This service encompasses: full-body clip, scissor finish on the face, feet, and feathering, undercoat removal, light brushing, blow dry, nail trimming, ear cleaning, towel dry & warm bath.
It’s tailored to make your dog look its best from head to tail.
The hydrobath wash, a standout feature of the full grooming service, involves a thorough clean with deep cleansing shampoo and conditioner, followed by a warm blow dry, ensuring your pet is not only clean but also comfortable and relaxed.
​
Question 3: What is breed specific grooming?
Breed-specific grooming adapts techniques to cater to the distinctive needs of various dog breeds. This targeted approach guarantees that grooming care matches each dog’s coat type and grooming needs, using techniques like hand scissoring and de-shedding to achieve the perfect look.
By focusing on the unique characteristics of each breed, groomers can provide a more personalized grooming experience that enhances the natural beauty of your pet. Whether it’s a Poodle’s curly coat or a Golden Retriever’s flowing fur, breed-specific grooming ensures your dog looks their best.
​
Question 4: What is hand scissoring?
Hand scissoring allows groomers to maintain a dog’s natural look by carefully trimming each section of fur. This technique offers a smoother and more customized finish compared to clippers, giving groomers better control for styling and correcting the dog’s profile. It’s suitable for all coat lengths and textures, ensuring a polished and well-groomed appearance.
​
Question 5: What is dematting?
DeMatting involves removing tangled and matted fur to improve a dog’s comfort and prevent skin irritation. Matting can occur under the ears, around the tail, and sometimes around the neck. Using the right tools, like dematting combs and thinning shears, groomers can effectively remove mats without taking out too much hair, ensuring a tangle-free and comfortable coat.
**Please note, the well being and safety of your dog is our top priority. At Arnold's World we do not demat exessively matted hair as it is a painful and traumatic experience for you dog. It is best to brush your dog a couple times a week and get them in to the groomer every 4-6 weeks.
​
Question 6: What services are absolutely essential?
In order for you dog to live a happy and healthy life there are just some things are non-negotiable. These include the following:
-Nail clipping is an important part of pet grooming as it prevents cracking, splitting, and sharp edges, promoting overall paw health. Brisbane Northside groomers offer comprehensive nail clipping services that include trimming, filing, and cleaning, ensuring your pet’s paws are well-maintained. Friendly and welcoming staff make this process stress-free for both pets and their best friend, the owners.
-Professional ear cleaning is essential for preventing infections and maintaining pet hygiene. Regular ear cleaning helps prevent ear mites and other infections, especially in breeds with drop ears like Labradors and Cocker Spaniels. Groomers can also identify early signs of ear infections during these cleanings, ensuring timely treatment.
-Tick, Flea & worming treatments are crucial to prevent irritation and diseases. At Arnold's World we offer environmentally friendly flea and tick treatments during grooming sessions. These treatments involve the application of special shampoos and conditioners that effectively manage and prevent infestations. However for worming treatments you will have to see you local veterinarian.
Question 7: Why choose a northside groomer?
Opting for Northside groomers equates to selecting the best groomers for top-notch dog grooming services.
