Why a Home Salon is Better for Your Furry Friend?
When it comes to grooming your dog, the environment plays a huge role in how comfortable and calm they feel. At Paws Grooming Parlour, our home-based salon is designed with your pet’s wellbeing at the heart of everything we do – and there’s growing evidence to show this setup is often the best choice for dogs.
Attention Reduces Stress
Studies have shown that dogs experience lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) when in familiar or quiet environments compared to noisy, high-traffic areas. In busy salons, dogs may be crated or surrounded by unfamiliar animals, sights, and sounds. A home salon eliminates that chaos.
Calmer Environment, Better Behaviour
According to pet behaviour experts, grooming in a calm, quiet space leads to improved behaviour and trust, especially for dogs who are nervous, elderly, or have special needs. Our home salon offers a peaceful setting with no rush – we groom one dog at a time so your pup gets our full attention.
Flexible and Personalised
Unlike high-volume grooming salons, home groomers often spend more time on each dog, creating a personalised experience. This is ideal for breeds with specific coat care needs or dogs with grooming anxiety.
No Crates, No Waiting Rooms
In traditional salons, dogs may be kept in crates before and after their groom. At Paws Grooming Parlour, your dog comes in, gets groomed, and goes home – crate-free and stress-free. This reduces fatigue and confusion, especially for rescue dogs or first-time visitors.
Familiar Scents = Comfort
Dogs rely heavily on scent. A home environment carries less of the strong chemical smells often found in busy salons, helping your dog feel at ease faster.
