How to Play Tiny Pet Groomer
Run a cozy grooming salon: every customer walks through the same five-step pipeline,
but each dog reacts differently. Master the tools, keep them calm, and grow your business.
🐾 The 5-step grooming pipeline
- 🛁 Wash. Mud, paint and goo each need a matching soap. Scrub the dirt with the
right bottle, switch to a clean sponge to make bubbles, then rinse with the shower.
- 💨 Dry. Hold the dryer over the wet coat until every patch is dry. Nervous dogs
get stressed here — pat them often.
- 🪮 Brush. Brush out all the tangles. Big-coat breeds like Huskies and Samoyeds
have more knots.
- ✂️ Trim. Only when the requested style needs it (check the style request). Trim
until the progress bar passes the target.
- 🎀 Style. The look is ready to apply — hit APPLY STYLE to finish and get rated.
😰 Personalities & anxiety
| Personality | Behavior | Best strategy |
|---|
| 😌 Calm | Easy to groom, rarely stressed | Easy — just stay efficient |
| 😰 Nervous | Gets stressed by dryers and trimmers | Keep dry/trim short, pat before they spike |
| 😤 Grumpy | Hates the trimmer — pat them a lot | Pat between trim passes, upgrade Soap Master |
🧼 Soap & dirt matching
| Dirt | Best soap | Wrong soap = |
|---|
| 🟤 Mud | 🍋 Citrus Soap | almost no progress + extra stress |
| 🎨 Paint | 🍓 Berry Soap | almost no progress + extra stress |
| 🟢 Goo | 🌿 Mint Soap | almost no progress + extra stress |
💛 Trust, ratings & money
- Each completed groom +1 Trust for that breed (max 5). Higher trust = better tips and unlocks later styles.
- Your star rating depends on stress peaks, wrong-soap uses, missing the trim target, and speed.
- Coins buy upgrades: Dryer, Brush, Trimmer (speed), Soap Master (less stress), and Salon (new breeds).
- The daily challenge asks for a specific breed + style — complete it for bonus coins.

- Desktop: hold & drag across the coat. Long sweeps cover big areas fast.
- Mobile: short scrub strokes work best.
- PAT calms the dog (3s cooldown) — don't let anxiety hit 100%.
