I am very lucky with my Groomer, I usually have an appointment but if I don't I do have walk-in priviledges. I bathe, trim their ears and around their paws. With Artie, she only gives him a "Sanitary Shave", I don't have his nails clipped since the don't grow much. I walk him on the street pavement/cement alot. Abigail, I do the same and she gets a "Sanitary Shave" as well, and her nails clipped. Since she won't let me do them. After all the mistakes that Groomers have made in the past, I make sure I go to the same Groomer every month. She only charges me $18.00 for both of them.
