When I lived in SoCal I took my pound puppy who at the time was 16 years old and had heart disease to PetSmart. I spoke to a groomer who specialized in old and sick dogs. All of her animals were very old, cancer patients, heart patients ect. I never paid more, but she took them early before the store opened to keep the stress level down. It only took 2 hours compared to the 8 hours my old groomer took. The old groomer had way to many dogs for one person. When I moved to IL, I got a yorkie after I had to have my other one put down, and thought I would try the PetSmart here. He is now at a private groomer. they did not trim his butt and the groomers were not very considerate of the other animals they were trimming. |
