Groomtime is a pet groomer at 8 Rimu Street in Eastbourne, Lower Hutt, on Wellington Harbour. It has a 5.0 rating on Google and a website.
A good groomer handles animals gently, explains what they are doing and keeps the pet calm and comfortable throughout. A groom usually includes a bath, blow-dry, brush-out, nail trim and a tidy of the coat, and some groomers also clean ears and trim around the eyes. When choosing one, ask what is included, how long the animal will be there, what vaccinations are required and how they handle nervous or older pets. Regulars know that a regular groom every six to eight weeks prevents matting, that telling the groomer about skin problems or sore spots helps and that brushing your pet at home between visits makes the next groom easier. Bring your pet after a walk so they are relaxed, and be honest about temperament. A small suburban groomer often works by appointment, so book ahead and confirm parking. The website is a good place to see the groomer's work and check availability.
