Groomer conversations

What to ask before a first grooming visit, what a quote includes and what a handover should cover.

Know what the service covers.

Groomer conversations helps owners understand what a grooming service covers and keep handovers clear. Readers find questions for a first appointment, how to read a quote, notes on a coat change and what an appointment record should keep. Rae Okafor also explains when a question belongs with your vet and how home grooming compares with a service.
