One-On-One Care. Chanel, before her groom with Karen.


Karen has been groom- ing for 19 years and loves the salon at Pawsitively Posh Pooch in St. Petersburg. “It’s set up all in one room with state-of-the-art equip- ment, and so peaceful. The dogs all seem to enjoy it too.” Karen reminded us that dogs love consistency, and using the same groomer each time can make all the difference in a dog’s


overall experience with grooming. “Unless you ask for a spe- cific groomer each time you make your appointment, the grooming facility with more than one groomer will give your dog to the next available groomer. Getting your puppy used to the same groomer will help her learn to enjoy the grooming experience faster. For older dogs, it will be less confusing,” Karen explained. Dogs teach us, if we’re willing to listen. They will let you know what they like or don’t like about their grooming process. “For instance, I can only use two particular brushes on Chanel (the dog pictured here). She does not like any other brushes, and lets me know that. We have to be willing to work and bend with each dog’s needs when grooming,” Karen added.
