You must know and let me know of any problems related to your elder dogs’ health, such as heart issues, arthritis, kidney problems, seizures etc. Check with your Vet., that it is OK to groom your dog, if you are not sure! If you have and elder dog or one with health issues You must sign a release form stating that it is ok to groom your dog.
There are inherent risks with grooming elder dogs or any dog, if they have any health issues!
We strive to provide as stress free a grooming experience as possible but grooming any dog especially an older dog is stressful and could result in the dog not feeling well, vomiting from distress and anxiety to even death. When a dog is in its last years or year of life they are very susceptible to heart failure, so I urge you to err on the side of caution and if your dog is not well, please forgo any and all grooming. A bath may be ok, followed by towel drying only but check with your Vet. First!
Thank you,
