Dogs shaking or having tremors, particularly in their leg areas, starting after a grooming session and sometimes persisting for hours or even days, are one such common theme. Humans often shake or shiver when cold, as our bodies use the shivering mechanism to try to raise our temperature. In most cases, these causes of shaking, shivers, or tremors are not serious, and won’t last long – though if your dog is cold, help him or her warm up with a blanket and ensuring they are dry. A health condition may result in temperature regulation issues after washing or bathing at the groomer – something you would have seen at home had you bathed them there – that may persist for hours afterwards. Standing for a long period of time at the groomers can also trigger shakes or tremors, especially in older dogs or those who have existing problems. Certain types of dogs are far more delicate than others, and if your groomer has little experience with the particular breed of your pet, you might want to look elsewhere for grooming service. With that said, even the healthiest-seeming dog and the most seasoned groomer can still result in an unknown and unintended injury or similar.
