Quick Answer

A Puppy First Groom Package creates a memorable first grooming experience for puppies under 1 year with before-and-after photos, gentle introductory sessions, and positive association building. This creates shareable content, attracts new puppy owners, and establishes a long-term grooming relationship from the start.

The Problem

Puppies need their first groom to be a positive experience that sets the tone for years of grooming. A bad first experience can create lifelong anxiety. Many groomers treat puppy first grooms the same as adult grooms, missing the opportunity to create a memorable moment that the owner will share.

The Strategy

Create a dedicated First Groom experience for puppies under 12 months. Include before-and-after photos, a certificate, gentle handling, and a shareable social media moment. This becomes your puppy pipeline.

Data Insight

Count pets under 12 months old. New puppies are your pipeline for 10-15 years of recurring grooming revenue.

How to Execute

Step-by-step guide to running a Puppy First Groom Package campaign

1

Identify puppies

Filter pets under 12 months old. These are your First Groom candidates.

2

Design the package

Introductory session (shorter, gentler), before-and-after photos, "My First Groom" certificate, small bandana or bow.

3

Create shareable content

Take before-and-after photos and share (with permission) on social media. Puppy content gets the highest engagement.

4

Educate the owner

Provide a take-home guide: how often to brush, when to return, what to expect as the coat changes.

5

Book the next appointment

Before they leave, book the second appointment. Early habit formation is key.
