How to Find a Good Dog Groomer
for Your Miniature Schnauzer

So you've decided to take your Miniature Schnauzer to a dog groomer. Luckily for you, there are lots of groomers in your area to choose from, too.

But... how do you go about finding a good groomer for your Miniature Schnauzer?

Finding the right dog groomer for your Miniature Schnauzer requires a little bit of investigation on your part. Use the "What You Need To Know" list below to assist you in your your Miniature Schnauzer groomer search.

Grooming Salons: What You Need To Know Before Making an Appointment for Your Schnauzer



  • Get Referrals: Ask your friends who own pets, who they use as their groomers. Ask your Vet (if his offices doesn't provide grooming). Your Miniature Schnauzer's vet will usually know of reputable groomers in the area for you to check out.

    You can even get referrals from strangers! If you see a beautifully groomed dog at the park, ask the dog's owner. Dog owners love sharing their knowledge and information about dog care with each other.

  • Better Business Bureau: Before you take your Miniature Schnauzer to any grooming salon for dogs, check with the Better Business Bureau. The Better Business Bureau can alert you of any complaints against groomers in your area.

  • Check Them Out: Now that you have a list of potential groomers for your Miniature Schnauzer its time to check them out.

    • Is the grooming salon clean? Does it smell nice?

    • How many groomers work in the salon?

    • What type of education and training do the groomers have?

    • Are the groomers experienced in grooming schnauzers?

    • What type of restraints (if any) do they use in their salon?

    • What products and chemical do they use on the dogs?

      dog grooming tip: Flea and tick treatments can cause illness if the incorrect amount is applied on your schnauzer. Be sure and ask the groomers about this.

    • Where will your Miniature Schnauzer be kept while he's not being groomed?

    • How long does the grooming session last?

    • Will you receive a 'Pick-Up' call when your Miniature Schnauzer is ready?

    • Are they willing to provide you with referrals from clients?

    • Do you feel comfortable with the groomer?


I've seen and read too many horror stories about dogs being mistreated or even injured during a grooming session. So, before you hand over your precious Miniature Schnauzer to a complete stranger...
