Most will as long as they know about the fleas ahead of time so that they can protect any other dogs that come into the facility. Talk to your groomer about it and see what he or she thinks about the situation.

Some say that the topicals, frontline and advantage and advantage plus, are losing their edge on fleas. I sure hope not. I hate the thought of dipping a dog in pesticides... so any kind of flea bath, unless there is absolutely NO other way, would never be a choice for me. The flakes may be from diet. Most grocery chain foods are really just junk. They may meet the alleged daily requirements, but they do little more if that. Dogs, like people, come in grades of skin... dry to very oily. The object is to feed a food that is of high grade with no corn, wheat or soy and with the first three ingredients being meat or meat meal (not by-products). Most of these better foods also have either flaxseed in them (I get flax and actually fresh grind it in the coffee grinder... note, use a separate grinder for coffee!) and add to their food. It's cheap and easy and fresh this way. Other times, you can use fish oil caps, but be sure to get human grade caps and research carefully the product. They are not all alike. I think it was Consumer Affairs who did a study on fish oil caps a while back and for me it was an eye opener. Also, pierce the capsule when giving it to the dog. There are shampoos designed to help correct skin problems, and while these are good often, remember that overbathing can do more harm than good. So no, a groomer and flea bath would not be an option for me. Good luck.

Most groomers require the dogs be on a monthly flea maintenance program of some sort. They dip and bathe and groom, but they don't want their business overrun with fleas. That's not fair to everyone else who comes there.

Pet groomers will treat your dog for fleas.
If you're wondering if they will groom your dog or not,call them and explain before you go.

The groomer in my area will flea dip the dog, even if you don't ask for it. They don't want their place infested.
