Good to know
Snippers has been part of the Savin Hill neighbourhood for more than ten years (it was once Snippers Hair Club for Dogs & Cats) and reopened under new ownership in 2021.
The groomers are professionally trained and CPR certified, use natural products, and take extra time with nervous pets: a treat, a cuddle, or a few minutes of talking before the groom.
An online booking is a request; the team confirms the day by phone or text.

Between grooms
The basics for the weeks in between. Picked by PawsRx, not recommended by Snippers Grooming.

Cat brushes
Long-haired cats mat first behind the ears, under the legs and on the belly. Short, frequent sessions tend to go better than one long one.

Cat nail clippers
A cat's claws retract, so you press the toe pad gently to bring the claw out before you trim the tip.
