Fluff Dry Intro

We introduce your little one to the warm, gentle air of a low-setting dryer, ensuring a stress-free experience that desensitizes them to the sounds and sensations.

Light Trim

A quick, gentle trim around the eyes, paws, and sanitary areas to keep them clean and comfortable, without overwhelming your young pet.

Nail & Ear Introduction

Gentle handling of paws and a light nail clip to acclimate them to the process, plus a soft ear wipe to keep sensitive areas clean.

Lots of Praise & Treats!

The most important part! Every step is accompanied by positive reinforcement, praise, and plenty of delicious treats, making grooming a positive and rewarding experience.

Why Start Early? The 'Fear-Free' Foundation

Introducing your pet to grooming between 8 and 16 weeks of age is critical. During this crucial socialization period, positive experiences build lifelong confidence. It helps them learn that grooming is a pleasant and normal part of life, preventing fear and anxiety in the future.

Meet Our Puppy Whisperers

"Patience is everything. We go at the puppy's pace. If they need a break to play, we take a break. It's all about building trust and making sure their first experiences with grooming are nothing short of wonderful."

— Sarah Chen, Head Groomer at AstroPaws Grooming, Queens Boulevard
