What we’ve learned caring for dogs, shared with the people who love them.
Our Puppy Grooming Protocol at Camp Canine
Our puppy grooming protocol at Camp Canine is designed to create calm, confident dogs who feel comfortable with grooming for life. Puppies start with a Puppy Pamper as soon as they’re fully vaccinated, followed by two full grooms spaced four weeks apart. From there, we work with each family to find a long-term grooming schedule based on the dog’s coat, desired length and style, and budget, with a maximum of 12 weeks between grooms. This gradual, consistent approach helps prevent stress, matting, and fear, setting puppies up for safe, positive grooming experiences as they grow.
