I, too, have a great groomer (we have been going to her for 19 years with our pets). We do the bathing and comb outs on Shelby & Seymour. I have had good luck with the products that I use and the dogs like the attention from us (hubby & I make a mini "assembly line" when we bathe them
).
ON "bath day", my groomer will call when she is finished with her last dog and we drive to her shop. She trims them and does their nails.... while we wait
.
It only takes about 30 minutes for both!! She don't charge a lot of $$$$ .... but of course, I always make a few "purchases" (she has a small retail business, too).
