They have a puppy special (up to 5 months of age) just to get them use to going to the groomer. They trimmed the hair around her feet, face, and bum...and of course, she got the cute little bow. It was only $15.00, so I guess I can't complain, but she is getting so shaggy. ha They must have used some special conditioner because she was very soft afterwards.
Is the 'cutting puppy hair will ruin their adult hair' speal true? If so, at what age should they begin? (Sophie's 3 1/2 months.) |
I don't know about the adult coat, but this I do. Maggie went to the groomer at 4 months. She got a puppy cut which included trimming of all hair, ear hair plucked, lower tummy fuzz shaved, nails, scissor cut on head, face and paws. Her groomer only charged me $10. I for sure couldn't argue with that. I was very pleased, since she was having a major case of spriggly hair.
