Can You Take a Dog With Fleas to the Groomer?

The first question is whether it is possible to take a dog with fleas to a groomer. Generally, the answer is no. Although you must take steps to keep your pet clean, fleas can still make it into the grooming salon. It is important to treat your dog at home first, and then take it to the groomer. Then, call the salon ahead of time to discuss your dog’s needs.

If you suspect your dog has fleas, consult a vet to make sure they are not infected. If they are, you can inform the groomer, who may charge extra to remove them. The best thing to do is to find a groomer who offers flea control.

Fleas can be very painful for dogs. They may scratch their skin excessively. It might also be red and bumpy. If it is, your dog should be bathed to relieve the itching and inflammation. The itching can be so intense, it may even lead to hair loss.

Fleas can also transmit tapeworms. When a pet ingests a flea, it will become infected with the parasite. Tapeworms can cause a serious illness for your dog, and you should not let your dog suffer the pain. The parasites can also cause health problems for both the pet and you.
