Steve takes the time to work with each pet to make the grooming experience a positive one for both pet and groomer. His calm yet assertive manner is one that pets respond well to. Steve plays with each pet after their groom to add an element of fun to the experience and further strengthen the rapport he establishes with them.
Equipped to handle all size pets in a safe and sanitary shop, Country Clipper offers a calming environment with a separate grooming area. This helps to alleviate some of the stress associated with grooming. Other pets and people can be a distraction and a source of stress as well as over stimulation for the pet, often causing a dangerous situation for both pet and groomer. The Country Clipper grooming room is bright, cheery and always has music playing – the perfect spa experience.

De-Skunking Formula
Because your pet will inevitably get skunked at the most inopportune times when the Country Clipper is not available, here are some items to keep on hand:
- 1 Qt – 3% hydrogen peroxide
- ¼ cup baking soda
- 1 TBS Dawn dish soap
- Light mineral oil
- Wear rubber gloves! For best results treat immediately after pet is sprayed.
- Place 1 or 2 drops of mineral oil in pet’s eyes. This helps keep the de-skunking solution out of their eyes.
- Wet dog, apply solution, scrub well. Rinse. Repeat if necessary.
- Do not mix solution ahead of time.
