When the winter chill rolls in, most pet owners instinctively think of cosy blankets, warm meals, and keeping their furry friends indoors. However, an important aspect of pet care is often overlooked during the colder months – professional grooming. Many assume grooming is mainly for summer, but the truth is that winter grooming is just as important, if not more so.
Here’s why booking a professional grooming session during winter is one of the best decisions you can make for your pet’s well-being.
In winter, your pet’s coat tends to grow thicker as a natural response to the colder weather. While this extra fluff provides warmth, it can also become matted and dirty if not properly maintained.
Professional grooming helps:
Matted fur not only traps moisture but can also lead to painful skin conditions. Regular brushing and trimming help keep your pet’s coat in peak condition, even during the coldest months.
Much like humans, pets can suffer from dry skin in winter due to cold air and indoor heating. Professional groomers use pet-safe shampoos and conditioners formulated to moisturise the skin and prevent flaking.
Our grooming units are fully equipped with warm water, heated dryers, and gentle grooming products that protect your pet’s skin barrier and prevent unnecessary shedding or itching.
Wet grass, tiled floors, and icy pavements can make it harder for pets to get a proper grip. Long nails not only cause discomfort but also increase the risk of slipping and joint issues.
Regular nail trims:
At Ultimate Pet Care, we include nail trimming in all our grooming packages, ensuring your pet stays safe and steady on their feet.
In winter, your pet’s paws are exposed to cold surfaces, gravel, or other harsh elements. Without proper care, paws can crack, bleed, or become infected.
A professional groomer will trim the fur between the paw pads to prevent ice/moisture build-up and check for injuries or irritations. Our mobile groomers take the time to give each pet’s paws the TLC they deserve – without you needing to leave the house.
The last thing you want during winter is a stressful car ride or waiting in a cold grooming salon. With Ultimate Pet Care’s mobile grooming service, we bring the spa to your doorstep, keeping your pet calm, warm, and close to home.
It is especially beneficial for:
Our groomers work one-on-one with your pet in a peaceful, climate-controlled environment – minimising stress and maximising comfort.
Consistency is key when it comes to grooming. Skipping winter sessions often leads to more serious grooming issues in spring, including matting, excessive shedding, and untrimmed nails. By keeping up with regular grooming during winter, your pet will look and feel their best all year round.
At Ultimate Pet Care, we offer set appointments that work with your schedule, so you never have to worry about long waits or seasonal backlogs.
Grooming isn’t just about keeping your pet looking cute – it’s about maintaining their health, comfort, and hygiene, even when the temperatures drop. With Ultimate Pet Care’s mobile grooming service, winter grooming is easy, convenient, and tailored to your pet’s specific needs.
Give your pet the gift of comfort and care this winter.
