As a groomer, you do more than just make pets look their best—you help them feel their best, too. But did you know that what’s happening outside the home can have a big impact on a pet’s hygiene and health?
At Pet Waste Wranglers, we specialize in helping pet owners and pet professionals keep outdoor spaces clean, safe, and stink-free. If you’re a groomer looking to add extra value for your clients, this clean yard checklist is a great resource to pass along.
Here are 5 simple yard tips to share with pet parents that can support cleaner coats, healthier paws, and fewer messes between grooms.
💩 1. Scoop the Poop—Regularly
Pet waste isn’t just a yard eyesore—it can harbor bacteria, parasites, and odors that make their way inside your client’s home (and onto your grooming table).
Encourage pet owners to scoop the poop daily or hire a professional poop scoop service (like us!) to stay ahead of buildup.
🔑 Tip: Regular pet waste cleanup reduces the risk of tracked-in mess, skin irritation, and smelly fur.
🚿 2. Create a Paw Wash Station
A simple hose, bucket of clean water, or pet paw cleaner at the back door can work wonders. Washing paws before pets come inside helps reduce:
- Mud and feces tracked onto floors
- Paw licking due to irritants
- The need for emergency baths or wipes
- Groomers can even recommend their favorite paw-safe soap or drying towel!
🌱 3. Keep Grass Trimmed and Weed-Free
Tall grass is more than a hiding spot for ticks—it also makes it harder to see and remove pet waste, leading to unpleasant surprises for both pets and humans.
Trimming and clearing the yard regularly ensures dogs can move freely without stepping in—or rolling through—leftover mess.
🧼 Bonus: Clean fur and trimmed nails stay that way longer in a tidy yard.
🧽 4. Deodorize the Lawn
Even if pet waste is picked up, smells can linger—especially during hot or rainy weather. Groomers can suggest natural lawn deodorizing sprays or recommend a pet waste removal company that includes deodorizing as part of their service.
A fresh-smelling yard means cleaner dogs and happier noses.
🐶 5. Stick to a Routine
Routine yard maintenance (and routine grooming) are a perfect match. Encourage your clients to treat poop scooping, lawn care, and paw checks as part of their pet’s weekly wellness habits.
You could even offer a printable checklist or link to this blog post as a handy reminder.
