TrimsalonWonderful4dogs

Welcome to the website of Grooming Salon Wonderful4dogs. My grooming salon opened in 2015 in Geldrop in the Netherlands. Because I love dogs and animals in general, I retrained to become a certified dog groomer. We have also been active in dog sports since 2002 with our Golden Retrievers, which I always groom before shows.

My name Linda means beauty and in English this is Wonderful, thats why I called my grooming salon Wonderful4dogs.

At Grooming Salon Wonderful4dogs, your dog is treated with great care, patience and love. In addition, I use the rule in my salon that I do not have more than 1 dog in the salon at the same time (2 is the maximum if the dogs are from the same owner), so that I have full attention to the personal treatment of your dog and therefore also not get the wrong impressions unnecessarily in the crowds.

I hope to welcome you and your four-legged friend soon in my Wonderful4dogs grooming salon.

What does a treatment look like?

 

Combing/brushing

 

We start by combing or brushing the coat. This is to assess the coat condition. This is done accurately, so that the hairs come loose and any tangles are removed.

Sometimes it is necessary to apply force, but it should not become a painful issue. During these actions I check for irregularities in the coat and on the skin.

 

Bath

Your dog is now taking a bath

Dog hairs are closely packed together and often have

a double coat.

Your dog is massaged with shampoo.

Because of the massaging movements , your dog will become calm .

Dog hair brings a lot of sand , dust and

old loose hair with it .

These are removed during the first wash.

A second wash follows to provide the hair with good care .

Then rinse the shampoo well, this is important,

otherwise a greasy layer will remain on the coat.

Your dog will now be dryed with a towel ( pet towel ) .

 

AFTER THE BATH,

YOUR DOG CAN GET OUT AND HAVE A BREAK,

DRINKING

AND A TREAT (when it is allowed)

 

 

Drying the coat

This can be done in 2 ways:

Powerful water blower

for double coats or curly hair

- the hair drying by air flow

- moisture is blown out of the coat

- blows out loose hairs

- no raking / coating required

 

Soft water blower or hairdryer

for other coats and small dogs

- Drying on warm setting

- Gentle airflow

- Drying hair for modeling

 

To muffle the noise to the ears ,

your dog is given a "hoodie" to .

Nice/quiet for the dog!

 

 

Double Coated

 

After using the water blower, the coat will

additionally with a comb if necessary.

The double coat technique takes time,

but, if done properly,

ensures that the suffocating old coat is removed,

air gets between the hairs again,

so that the skin can "breath" again.

 

This will make your dog

- Less bothered by the heat

- Drying up sooner after swimming/rain

- Less truoble to getting cold

- Less trouble to muscle and joint

problems - Getting rid of unpleasant "dog smell".

 

The model,

 

Your dog will be cut, trimmed or shaved to the correct length.

Cutting the model may take some time.

Because a dog does not always stand still, extreme care must be taken with the scissors

and other materials. An unexpected movement of your dog is made in no time.

 

Strippingcoat

 

These are stripping (if the skin/coat permits).

This is done by hand and is done with the most care,

to treat your dog as pleasantly as possible.

 

Golden Retriever

 

Grooming salon Wonderful4dogs takes care of a large number of Golden retrievers.

The Golden Retriever has a semi-long, double coat that consists of guard hairs and wool hairs. This breed loses some hair daily, but in the moulting periods the hair loss can increase enormously.

 

What can we do about that in the grooming salon?

 

Double coat

 

Many breeds have a lot of undercoat in addition to the normal top coat.

Double coat sheds moderately througout the year and heavily twice a year.

Golden Retriever, Newfoundland,

 

Bernese Mountain dog, Leonberger, Shetland sheepdog, Bobtails, , but also all short-haired breeds such as Labrador, Boxers, Jack Russels and Bulldogs.

 

 

Benefits of regular treatment:                  

 

• Prevention of a lot of hair in the house
• Less or no longer bothered by unpleasant "dog smell" -

 

Your dog is through the shedding period faster

• Wet coat dries faster after swimming or rain
• Less dust, sand and dirt retention and to carry
• Better for the general condition

 

• Arthrosis can be caused by wet fur
• Cold pulls into muscles and bones

 

 

Treatment of double coats

When hairs need to be replaced,

their coat is no longer intact,

hair scales open or have broken off.

This is where the shedding period begins.

The old hairs let go and make way

 for younger, cool ones.

 

The groomer has the right techniques

to help your dog through the shedding period.

 

This is done in a fur-friendly way.

Only the old hairs are removed

by means of a special washing and blowing technique.

 

The coat remains in good condition and the natural coat change intact.
