More Than a Pretty Coat ✂️🐾

More Than a Pretty Coat ✂️🐾

Gabriella Darin

At Mercado Pet, we believe grooming isn’t just about looking cute (although we’re big fans of those “after” photos 📸🐶). Regular grooming plays a huge role in your pet’s health, comfort, and happiness — and can even help prevent bigger problems down the road.

1. Healthy Skin & Coat 🛁✨

Regular baths and brushing remove dirt, debris, and loose hair, preventing matting and keeping your pet’s coat shiny and comfortable. For long-haired breeds, this is especially important — mats can pull on the skin and cause irritation.

2. Early Health Checks 🩺🐾

When your pet is on a grooming schedule, groomers get to know their normal skin, coat, ears, and nails. That means we can often spot changes — like lumps, rashes, or ear infections — before they become serious.

3. Comfort From Head to Tail 🐕💛

Overgrown nails can affect how your dog walks, leading to discomfort or even joint issues. Dirty ears can lead to infections. Regular grooming sessions help prevent these problems, keeping your pet comfortable and happy.

4. Less Shedding (and Less Cleaning for You!) 🧹🐶

Consistent brushing helps remove excess hair before it ends up all over your home. Your vacuum will thank you!

5. A Positive, Stress-Free Experience 🐾🙂

Dogs who are groomed regularly become more comfortable with the process — less stress for them and for you. Our private, low-stress grooming environment helps your pup feel relaxed and cared for every time.


How Often Should Your Dog Be Groomed?

Every dog is different, but most pups benefit from grooming every 4–8 weeks. We can help create a schedule that works best for your dog’s breed, coat type, and lifestyle.


💛 At Mercado Pet, grooming is about care, connection, and keeping your furry family members healthy — inside and out. Whether it’s a bath, trim, or nail clip, each session is tailored to your dog’s needs so they leave looking and feeling their best.
