Flea guide for when going to the groomers

Introduction

Regular grooming keeps coats healthy, but new towels, tables and shared spaces increase exposure. A steady prevention plan and a few simple habits make salon days smooth.

Before the appointment

If you use a spot-on on any pet in the house, apply it after the bath or follow the label dry time before washing. Chews are not affected by water, which many families find easier around grooming days. Pack a clean car towel for the ride home.

What to tell your groomer

• Any recent flea sightings or sensitive skin

• Products you use and when the last dose was

• Request a gentle dry and a check around ears and tail base

After the visit

Shake and sun-dry car rugs and towels. Brush out loose hair so skin can breathe, then run a quick two-minute tick check after park stops near long grass.
