How Soon You Take A Puppy To The Groomers? (lemmy.world)

Some say take your fur baby to the groomers shortly after you bring them home to get them familiar with other people and get them out and about as soon as possible. We plan on grooming at home as well, but what are you thoughts?

Do everything you can think they'll ever experience early on - as early as is safe.

Groomers understand how puppies are, tell them why you're bringing them, for exposure. They'll appreciate it, and help.

Yes, that's what we figured, the sooner they get used to shampooing, trimming etc the better. It can be stressful for them if they're not socialized early.
