What happens at a puppy’s first grooming appointment?

A puppy’s first grooming appointment is structured differently from a standard adult groom. We prioritize the puppy’s comfort and positive experience over completing a perfect full groom. The appointment typically includes a gentle meet-and-greet, coat assessment, light brushing, a gentle bath with puppy-safe products, careful drying, nail trimming where the puppy’s comfort allows, and an introductory trim where appropriate.
