What Is a Geriatric Groom?

A geriatric groom is a specialized service created for senior dogs who need extra patience, gentle handling, and a slower pace. This service includes a warm bath, careful blow-drying, light trimming if appropriate, nail care, and comfort focused grooming tailored to your dog’s physical needs. We only perform what your pet can safely tolerate and we adjust the process to keep them calm and stress free.

Our goal is to protect your dog’s comfort, mobility, and emotional well being. Every senior pet is supported with understanding, compassion, and clear communication throughout the entire grooming appointment.

When Is a Geriatric Groom Necessary?

A geriatric groom is recommended when your dog is older, has mobility challenges, shows sensitivity during grooming, or becomes tired more quickly. Senior pets often benefit from shorter sessions, minimal handling, and grooming that focuses on hygiene and comfort rather than detailed styling.

This service is ideal for elderly dogs who may struggle with regular grooming routines. A calm and supportive environment can make a major difference in how your senior pup feels during and after the appointment.

What Is Required For a Geriatric Groom?

All pets must be current on rabies vaccinations and have a completed pet profile. New clients should fill out the grooming application with details about mobility concerns, past grooming experiences, sensitivities, medications, or any support your pet may need. This information helps us create the safest and most appropriate plan for your dog.

Pre booking at each checkout is required to maintain consistency. Senior dogs benefit from predictable routines that reduce stress and support their long term comfort. If your pet requires special care or extra time, please let us know so we can schedule the appointment accordingly.
