Pet Grooming is a Commitment

Do you get your dog shaved once a year?

Do you wait until your dog is wooly and in rough shape to call the groomer?

Wags to Riches Pet Spa of Houghton Lake, Michigan is geared towards those who are committed to keeping their dog on a regular grooming schedule to keep their dog’s coat in a healthy, manageable condition. Dog grooming is a personalized service in which I wish to build a relationship with you and your pet that lasts for many years.

My goal is to keep each pet I groom feeling fresh, safe, and loved in a stress-free environment.  If I groom a pet only once a year, I am not able to build a trusting long-term relationship where they know me and understand what I am doing and feel comfortable with my touch. If I groom your pet only when they are matted and in rough shape, then it’s not a very comfortable experience for them and they will not enjoy me tugging or pulling to try to remove any matting.

We recommend having your dog groomed every 4, 6 or 8 weeks with 8 weeks being the maximum between grooming appointments. If I find that at 8 weeks your dog is not in the best shape, then it will be best to decrease the length of time between dog grooming appointments until we are able to keep them at a manageable length of time between appointments.

If your dog is nervous, fearful, or anxious, regular grooming can be helpful to them. It’s just me and your pet and I take the time to help them through the grooming process.  We will find tricks or techniques that your pet will adjust to and help them learn to love the grooming experience!

If you are ready to make that commitment and build a long-lasting relationship, please contact Wags to Riches Pet Spa as I would love to be your new dog groomer!
