Groomers should clean up after themselves as well before they leave.
Bathing and pet shampoo types Put down the OSHA mat in front of tub.
Each pet coming in for grooming needs to have a full bath unless otherwise requested by the owners.
A standard bath would use purple tear free shampoo on the face and the tan concentrated shampoo on the body.
The face shampoo should not be watered down as it helps keep it out of the pet's eyes and nose.
Just because it's tear free does NOT mean to intentionally wash over their eyes with it.
The body shampoo needs to be diluted with warm water 32/1 or 50/1 per gallon depending on brand.
This would equal 1 inch or 3 oz in a gallon jug.
Shake well before using.
If you bath in the walk in, please put on water shoes there are several sizes and you can also put down a grate to get the pet out of the water.
Every pet must be lathered and rinsed well to make sure the pet is clean.
Wet the dog first before adding shampoo.
They will soap up faster.
It should not take more than 1/2 to 1 bottle for small to medium dogs and 2 for large.
If the pet is not clean or has dried shampoo on them, this could result in skin irritation.
If the pet appears to already have a skin issue tell the groomer who will need to consult the medical team before bathing.
After they are done with the medical side make sure to ask if the pet needs a medicated bath.
A med bath would come AFTER a normal bath is complete as the regular shampoo gets all the debris off and helps the medicated shampoo do its job.
Only use this shampoo on the body as it can burn the eyes.
Miconahex is the brand we use for this.
The shampoo needs to rest on the pet for 10 mins and then be rinsed off.
Any pet getting a med bath DOES NOT get cologne after the groom.
Also, there is no extra charge for the medicated bath.
Bath, towel, and blast to break up hair then put pet in cage dryer, Get out the next one and repeat.
Then when all are in the dryers take the first one you did back out to blast dry.

Yes, it should be like an assembly line.
Drying room protocol Any time there is a pet in the drying room the exhaust needs to be running.
It is a timer on the wall by the door.
It is timed for 30 mins and needs to be checked regularly.
Most pets in the drying room have a towel under them, this helps to soak up drippage and if they urinate it's less of a mess.
No dryer should ever have the heat setting on.
No towels should be on the drying room floor, this is a trip hazard.
If a dryer is not acting right or needs repair/maintenance bring that to the supervisor's attention.
All pets have a carabiner on the cage Finished groom holding area All grooms when done will be placed in a holding cage.
The holding cage should have a towel under the animal and a card/label of who the pet is if the groomer has gone for the day.
If a groom is in the run area or treatment area, they must always have a cage card.
Owners must drop off pets without any clothing unless otherwise requested and approved by the groomer.
If the pet does have belongings in the hospital, it is the groomer who did the pet's job to make sure that stuff goes home with the pet.
