I trained in a large grooming shop and if I told I all saw there ppl would flip out. I think if u really want to know if u have a groomer that loves to groom and loves dogs ask a few questions.
1. Why do u groom? If the answer involves money - run.
2. What breed do u not like grooming?
3. Are u a certified groomer?
4. How do u handle stressed animals?
5. If u have to muzzle, how long do u leave it on? (ASPCA states a muzzle should not be on an animal for more than 12-15 min)
6. Do u use drugs for stressed animals?
7. How long will my dog be here?
8. Will be dog be housed with another animal? Some shops r so busy they put dogs in kennels together.
9. Am I allowed to stay? If not why?
10. What type of cleaning products do u use and how often do u clean?
If any of the answers are not good ones - thank them and find another groomer. |
That is great information for anyone looking for a new groomer.
Thanks for posting it. Most of the questions I know the answer to
and am very confortable with ,it's the muzzle thing that concerns
me. I will be there so I feel confortable at this time with it.
Yes, she is certified and has been at this location for 14yrs.
She came highly recommended also. I am hoping this works out
because I really think she knows her stuff and Buddy looks beautiful
when he leaves there. It's he and I only all the time so I think
possibly he got alittle frisky on that table. I am curious to see how
he does when I am there though. Not sure if I should just watch where
he can't see me or stand next to him. She is leaving that up to me.
