Since we became dog owners when we moved into our new home back in 2012, there is one place that we have turned to when it came to keeping our pups looking good: Petco.

We have been dedicated customers at Petco Grooming since 2012 and couldn’t be happier with their service. When we first brought Bubba into our home, he was a long-haired matted mess and barely resembled a dog. Petco was great with him and cleaned him up in no time!

Now that we have Balty, an American Staffordshire Terrier Boxer mix, we don’t have to worry about him getting a haircut or his fur matting but we do have to worry about how he smells. See, Baltylikes to get into EVERYTHING. And then he smells. 

If you could smell a picture, this would be one you would run from. After all of the heat this week and Balty running around, playing outside, getting into everything he possible can, he stunk like a week-old bag of garbage baking in the sun on top of a wet dog.

It was BAD.

So, off to Petco he went!

When Balty heads to Petco Grooming, we have him get the bath and brush service along with the spa package and Balty always comes out happier and smelling a whole lot better than he did when he arrived.  Petco believes healthiness is happiness, and this service makes grooming easy and stress-free for us and Balty and will do the same for you are your pet!

Why We Choose Petco Grooming

A lot of people have asked us why we choose Petco Grooming for Balty and the answer is simple: Balty enjoys it there and we have always had a positive experience.

Another reason we choose Petco for our grooming services is their 7-point care check.  Every grooming service starts with a visual and physical screening of your pet. They make sure nothing looks or feels abnormal.

1. 1. Eyes – Ensure your pet’s eyes are bright, clear and alert
   2. Ears – Check ears are clean and odorless
   3. Teeth – Check that teeth and mouth are clean, shiny, and unbroken
   4. Nose – Moist and uncracked
   5. Under-side – Shiny, healthy, and unmatted coat
   6. Skin & Coat – Shiny, healthy, and unmatted coat
   7. Nails & Pads – Shiny, healthy nails; moist, uncracked pads

The 7-point Pet Care Check is not a substitute for regular examinations and care from a licensed veterinarian.

As a dog mom, I also like that Petco Grooming stylists have completed many layers of training, whether they are experienced stylists or a new partner and Petco adheres to rigorous safety standards and operates in state of the art facilities.

Like I mentioned above, in the 4 years we have been using Petco Grooming services, we have never had anything but a positive experience and the groomers have adored our pets.
