In this episode of "The Knowledgeable Pet Owner," the focus is on comfort grooms, which are essential for pets with medical issues, post-surgery recovery, or aging-related complications. The discussion highlights the frequent disconnect between pet owners' and groomers' understanding of comfort grooms, emphasizing the need to prioritize pets' health and comfort over appearance. Grooming adjustments, such as shorter haircuts and staged sessions, are often necessary for older or medically-compromised pets to minimize stress and physical strain.
