Your Dog’s Grooming Routine Could Be Triggering His Scooting


You might be wondering how getting my dog groomed could trigger them to scoot? They could have been allergic to a spray used by the groomer, or they could have been irritated by the clippers.

The groomer should not use any sprays that contain perfume when grooming the dog.


Sometimes, you may wonder seeing your dog rubbing its body on furniture or billowing. It could be due to a substance used by the groomer. You should request that your dog's shampoo be changed to a milder option if they are allergic or dogs with sensitive skin. The oatmeal-based shampoo is an alternative.


Some groomers believe it is necessary to squeeze the anal glands while grooming. If your dog scoots after a groomer squeezes the glands may indicate the fragile sacs of the dog are injured. If you have any concerns, contact your veterinarian Chesapeake VA to schedule an appointment.
