The holiday season is one of joy, togetherness, and countless family memories, with our pets often at the heart of it all. The A-Z Animal care team believe your dog deserves the same festive preparation as the rest of the family. Our professional dog grooming in Kent, based at Ripley Garden Centre, ensures your pet will be looking, feeling, and smelling their best just in time for the holidays. But don’t wait – with the Christmas season fast approaching, appointments are filling up quickly, and we’re here to help your pet shine through it all!
With our upcoming holiday closure from Saturday, December 21st to Thursday, January 2nd, 2025, now is the perfect time to secure your grooming appointments and avoid any last-minute stress. Give your pet the best gift of all; a peaceful, pampered holiday season.
Why Now is the Perfect Time to Book Dog Grooming in Kent
The weeks leading up to Christmas are full of busy preparations, not only for families but for pets as well! Grooming before the holidays doesn’t just make your dog look great, it also supports their health and comfort during a potentially hectic time. Our dog grooming in Bethersden, Kent goes beyond the basics; it’s about ensuring your pet’s coat, nails, and teeth are well-maintained to keep them feeling comfortable, calm, and loved.
Grooming in advance also gives you peace of mind, knowing your dog will be comfortable and clean before we close for the holidays. You can fully enjoy the season without worrying about unexpected grooming needs or issues that might arise when services are unavailable.
Limited Availability Leading Up to Christmas
Our dog grooming in Kent is popular year-round, and this demand only grows as Christmas approaches. Booking now ensures your dog gets pampered and polished with time to spare, allowing you to focus on holiday preparations. An early appointment guarantees your dog will be ready to greet guests, participate in family photos, and enjoy every holiday moment with the family.
But don’t delay! We’re accepting bookings right up until December 21st, so secure your pet’s spot soon. After the Christmas break, we’ll be reopening on January 2nd, 2025, to start the new year fresh.
The Benefits of Dog Teeth Cleaning Before Christmas
Along with full-body grooming, one of our most beneficial services is dog teeth cleaning. This simple yet effective treatment doesn’t just freshen your dog’s breath; it’s also essential for their health. Dental care helps prevent plaque buildup and supports healthy gums, both of which can reduce the risk of infections and discomfort.
Holiday gatherings mean extra attention for your dog, and our teeth cleaning service leaves them feeling confident and ready for close-up cuddles. Schedule a teeth cleaning with your grooming session to ensure your pet’s dental health is as cared for as their coat.
The Importance of Regular Grooming — Especially Over the Holidays
During the holidays, many grooming salons close, which can impact pets’ comfort and health. In the UK, with around 10,600 groomers nationwide, the closure of these services over Christmas can lead to some pets missing out on much-needed care. Pets who don’t receive regular grooming during this period are at higher risk for a few issues:
- Without regular brushing and grooming, many dogs’ coats can become tangled and matted. Mats can pull painfully on the skin, causing discomfort and even skin irritations.
- Nail trimming is crucial, especially for active dogs. Left unchecked, overgrown nails can become painful and affect a dog’s gait, leading to joint discomfort over time.
- Breeds with longer ears are prone to ear issues, as wax and debris can build up if not cleaned regularly. This increases the risk of infections, which can be uncomfortable and harder to manage if they go unnoticed.
- Without regular teeth cleaning, plaque can build up, leading to unpleasant breath and potential dental issues.
By booking your dog grooming before the holiday season, you’ll help your pet avoid these risks and enjoy the festive period comfortably. If your pet does need any at-home care over the break, our team is always happy to share tips to keep their coat, nails, and teeth in top shape.
