If your dog is getting older, grooming day can feel different than it used to. Stiff joints, thinner skin, and fading sight or hearing all change what a calm, safe groom looks like. At Sun City Grooming, senior and anxious dogs aren’t the exception — they’re what we’re known for. Here’s how we approach it.
We work at your dog’s pace
There’s no stopwatch. If your dog needs a break, they get one. If they get too stressed, we slow down or stop — we never force a groom. For arthritic or stiff dogs, we help them on and off the table gently, and there’s a cage-free “social floor” where they can wait among other dogs instead of sitting in a kennel.
Gentle products for older, sensitive skin
Older skin is thinner and more delicate, so we use soft brushes, take extra care around any matting, and reach for organic, non-animal-tested shampoos made for sensitive skin — no dyes or perfumes.
If your dog is older or a little anxious, that’s exactly what we’re here for. Give us a call at 623-440-4595 and tell us about your pet.
