Senior Moments

It occurred to me a while ago... what happens when our canine companions approach their twilight years, but still need a hair cut?

Do we still expect them to be able to cope with a full grooming session that could be 2 hours or more?

Put it this way... would you expect your elderly parent to able to stand for 2 hours? I know I wouldn't,,, my mum would definitely tell me what for and likely give me a clout with her walking stick!!

So, why do we expect our dogs to be any different? They will get fidgety and lose patience... as a dog gets older just like us they start to also suffer with stiffness, aches and pains, and don't want to be pulled / poked about...

So, let's look at what comfort grooming actually is.... its about making the grooming experience as a whole comfortable for your dog... and if that means that the session is only 1 hour and focusses on the areas that absolutely need it then so be it...

Lets respect our aged four legged friends and ensure that they are as comfortable as possible...
