We suggest allowing females in heat to remain undisturbed until their season concludes, which typically occurs about 17 days after you first observe signs of being in heat. This recommendation is based on their heightened sensitivity during this period and the uncertainty of potential male dogs being nearby.

If you have an unspayed female, you know that she will likely go into heat twice per year. A dog in heat may be more sensitive to physical touch. A heat can be uncomfortable, and having to go through a process that involves constant touch is unlikely to be at the top of your dog’s To-Do list. A dog who is physically uncomfortable is more likely to demonstrate reactive behaviors towards their groomer which is dangerous for all parties involved. Due to hormonal changes, your dog in heat may be less tolerant of other dogs around her. You may notice your dog in heat developing aggressive behaviors. Dogs in heat will bleed. A dog’s heat generally lasts anywhere from 2-4 weeks and any grooming should be avoided during this time. Ultimately, it comes down to keeping the dog in heat SAFE.

We would rather reschedule the appointment as we find that sometimes they can be a little out of sorts. A normally well behaved dog can become a little monkey! It is also very distracting for any males we might have in the salon at the same time. Give us a call a couple of days before for advice.
