tips for a successful experience

📷 Have Pictures Ready

Bring pictures of the plants or flowers you like to help guide the selection process.

❌ Know Your Dislikes

Be clear about any flowers or plants you do not like to avoid unwanted surprises.

💡 Be Open to New Ideas

Allow room for creative suggestions—you might discover something perfect you hadn’t considered.

⌚ Consider Maintenance Needs

Think about how much time you're willing to spend on plant care. Share your preferences for high- or low-maintenance plants.

🌞 Account for Lighting and Space

Take pictures of the areas where plants will be placed. This helps assess the available lighting and space to ensure the right plant choices.

❄️ Seasonal Preferences

Let Flora and Fauna know if you prefer seasonal arrangements or plants that last year-round.

🤧 Allergies

Mention any known allergies to specific flowers or plants to avoid discomfort later.

🌹 Theme or Aesthetic Goals

Share your overall vision or theme (e.g., modern, tropical, rustic) to align the plant choices with your style.

💊 Administer Anxiety Medication if Prescribed

If your vet has prescribed anxiety medication for your pet, administer it before the PETicure process begins.

🍬 Chew Gum or Eat Mint

Pet owners should chew gum or eat mint before and during the PETicure process. This can reduce anxiety-related changes in breath scent, which pets often detect.

😌 Prepare a Quiet Environment

Choose a calm space for the PETicure process where your pet feels safe.

💇 Grooming Introduction

If your pet is new to grooming, practice gentle handling of their paws or areas to be worked on in advance to familiarize them with the process.

💧 Hydration and Exercise

Ensure your pet is hydrated and has had some exercise earlier in the day to help them feel more relaxed.

🧁 Favorite Treats or Toys

Have their favorite treats or toys nearby to help redirect their focus and make the experience more enjoyable.

🐕 Remember, Owner Anxiety Affects Pets

Keep in mind that pets often pick up on their owners’ stress. Staying calm and relaxed will help your pet feel more at ease.
