I had a dog come in a few months ago who was so bad that I had to shave him down with a 40 blade (yup I said 40 blade), it was the only one I could get through him. I was in tears grooming this dog I had felt so bad for him and what made it harder emotionally was he was kissing me the entire time. He looked horrible when he left but looked much more horrible when he came in. He was soaking wet and not from water, it was urine soaked all the way through to the skin. It took everything I had not to rip the owner a new a**
I hate it when people come in with a severly matted dog and refuse to shave them down. Why dont people understand its pure torture to pull those knots out of a dog?
Im always seeing people online complaining about the horrible job the groomer did or they shaved my dog down. Most Groomers dont shave dogs down to the skin without a logical reason and without signing a shave down form.
I take alot of pride in my work and it kills me to see people tearing groomers apart (and yes some do deserve it) and it gives us good groomers a bad name.
Im so thankful my regular yorkie customers all take excellent care of their dogs and most of all trust me with their dogs. I should of said all my regular customers, I groom alot of yorkies but also groom alot of other breeds |
Like I said, I have never had a bad experience with a groomer before and I could understand having to shave down a dog, but is it necessary to shave to the point that the skin turns purple and bleeds??? I knew we should have combed her ourselves ahead of time. If I had any notion that she needed to be tortured with razor burns, I would have never brought her in that way. I would have cut her hair myself down as far as I could, then brush her and bring her to my regular groomer to fix up her bad haircut from me.
If you went to a barber to get a buzz cut, would you not be upset if you came out purple and bleeding yourself??? There's a way to do things gently.
I love my regular groomers and this lady will never see us darken her doorway again unless it's to sue her.
Right now, my dog is lying in her bed wimpering and she cringes if anyone goes to pet her, anyone other than me or my daughter that is. My older daughter is here to visit on this lovely holiday weekend (?) and she started crying when she saw how Keisha reacted to her. I'm so ready to take her to Red Bank Hospital in NJ if this continues. I will ask that she be xrayed. I feel that something is rotten in the cotton. She is getting worse instead of better.
