My Go To Groomer

What to Expect at Your Dog’s First Grooming Appointment (Robbinsdale Dog Owners’ Guide)

Bringing your dog to the groomer for the first time? At My Go To Groomer in Robbinsdale, MN, we specialize in making first grooming visits calm, gentle, and stress-free — for both dogs and their humans!

Before the Appointment:

  • Give your dog a walk to ease energy and nerves.
  • Bring vaccination records (required for all appointments).
  • Let your dog potty before arrival.

During the Appointment:

Your dog will receive:

  • A gentle bath using high-quality, pet-safe shampoos.
  • Blow-dry and brush-out.
  • Nail trim, ear cleaning, and coat trim (if needed).

Our team provides patient, loving care, especially for puppies starting at 8 weeks old. Starting early helps your pup build trust and comfort with grooming. Learn more about our Puppy Program – where puppies on a fixed schedule receive 50% off grooms until their first birthday.

After the Appointment:

  • Your dog may be sleepy from the excitement.
  • Monitor for any skin sensitivity.
  • Ask about setting up regular grooming to make each visit easier.

Serving Robbinsdale, Crystal, New Hope, and Golden Valley, we’re here to help your dog feel — and look — their best!
