Grooming FAQs

How do I know if my pet needs dog grooming services?

Pets can get dirty and smelly fairly quickly. Getting dirty is inevitable. Grooming is important to keep your pet clean and it even prevents health problems. If your pet is starting to smell or get mats in their fur, it may be time to visit the groomer for a dog bath and a haircut! Animal House offers a variety of dog grooming services for your furry friend in the Abilene, TX area.

What are the benefits of pet grooming?

Grooming is an important part of your pet’s health and well-being. When groomers regularly care for your pets, it significantly decreases the risk of health & skin problems. Grooming and dog baths also reduce the risk of skin parasites and makes it easier to check your pet’s skin for problems. For dogs with an undercoat, grooming will help to remove this fur which will reduce the amount of fur your pet sheds in your home.

What can I expect when I pick up my pet from a dog grooming session?

Cindy Washburn and our staff of professional groomers will give your pets “lots of TLC” in their dog grooming session. From the time they walk in the door to the time you pick them up, the four-legged member of your family is pampered as if he or she were in a spa for the day. We offer services for dog baths to treat for flea and ticks, nail trimming, and ear cleaning care. Whether it’s daily dog care or prepping for a show, your pet will leave loved, clean, and happy!

How long should I wait between each pet grooming session?

At Animal House Grooming Salon we don’t like to put a time limit on when your pet should be groomed. Every dog is different and every situation is different. However, we usually recommend 8-12 weeks, or until you just can’t stand the smell of your pet any longer.

What breed of dogs can be groomed?

Our groomers have over 50 years of combined experience working with a wide range of dog breeds. No dog is too big or too small!

What if my dog has a skin condition?

Skin conditions are taken into consideration prior to starting a dog bath. Care is taken to use the best shampoo for their type of hair and skin that your animal has.
