I am so glad I followed the advice on the boards here. I could only imagine what would have happened if I just dropped her off for the trim and came back to find her shaved down.  It would have been a long night in jail for me!  |
I was about to say theres no way Petco said they don't use scissors.... but I saw your location &it may be different than in California. Because here you can ask for your dog to be strictly scissored and they'll do it. Usually the groomers use a combination (mostly for sani's and paw trims) but they really only use hair trimmers if you're going really short. Hmm I'm sorry about your experience there... if I was you I would have left also! That's ridiculous.
