What to Expect at Your Dog's Grooming Appointment in Wellington, FL

If you've never brought your dog to a professional grooming salon — or if you're trying a new groomer in Wellington — it's natural to wonder what the experience will be like. At Puppyarazzi on Wellington Trace, we want every pet parent to feel confident and informed. Here's exactly what happens during a grooming appointment at our salon.

Step 1: Check-In and Consultation

When you arrive at our Wellington salon, we start with a friendly check-in. We'll discuss your dog's needs, any specific concerns, the style you're looking for, and your dog's temperament. This is the time to mention if your dog is anxious, has any health issues, or has areas that are sensitive.

Step 2: Pre-Groom Assessment

Our groomer will do a thorough assessment of your dog's coat condition, checking for mats, tangles, skin issues, and any lumps or bumps. We'll let you know if we find anything that needs attention.

Step 3: The Bath

We use warm water and premium organic shampoos selected specifically for your dog's coat type and skin condition. For dogs with allergies or sensitive skin — common in the Wellington area — we use hypoallergenic, fragrance-free products. The bath includes a thorough cleaning from head to tail.

Step 4: Conditioning and Treatment

After shampooing, we apply a conditioning treatment to keep your dog's coat soft, shiny, and manageable. In South Florida's humidity, proper conditioning is key to preventing tangles and matting between groom sessions.

Step 5: Blow-Drying and Fluff

We use professional-grade dryers set to a comfortable temperature. We never use cage dryers — every dog is hand-dried with full attention. This process also helps us identify any remaining tangles or skin issues.

Step 6: The Haircut

Whether it's a breed-standard cut, a creative style, or a simple maintenance trim, our certified groomer executes your requested style with precision. We specialize in breed-specific cuts for Poodles, Doodles, Bichons, Schnauzers, Yorkies, and many more.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

The finishing touches include ear cleaning, nail trimming and grinding, sanitary trim, paw pad trimming, and a bandana or bow. Your dog will look and smell amazing.

Step 8: Check-Out and Review

When your pup is ready, we'll review the groom with you, point out anything we noticed about your dog's skin or coat health, and schedule your next appointment.
