Fear Free Grooming
At Old Mill Boarding Kennel and Grooming, we believe that grooming should be a positive experience—for both you and your pet. That’s why we’re proud to offer Fear Free Grooming, designed to reduce stress and anxiety while helping your pet look and feel their best.
What Is Fear Free Grooming?
Fear Free Grooming focuses on creating a calm, comfortable environment for pets using techniques rooted in behavior science. Our team is trained to recognize signs of stress and fear and to respond with patience, compassion, and low-stress handling methods. Whether your pet is nervous about nail trims, wary of clippers, or just new to the grooming process, we work at their pace to make each visit as gentle and enjoyable as possible.
What You Can Expect
- A quiet, welcoming grooming space
- Positive reinforcement and gentle handling
- Shorter sessions or breaks if your pet needs them
- Familiarization techniques for puppies and first-time visitors
We’re here to help your pet feel calm, clean, and cared for. If you have questions about our grooming process or would like to schedule an appointment, give us a call—we’d love to chat with you about how Fear Free makes a difference.

How Can I Maintain My Pet’s Coat at Home?
Brush your pet's coat on a regular basis, but avoid excessive bathing. Bathing your pet too often can cause dry and flaky skin.
We welcome your questions about our grooming procedures and policies and are eager to discuss how we can make your pet’s next grooming appointment as happy and stress-free as possible.
