From a groomers stand point if that was the only problem with the groom then you need to talk to the groomer. If you liked the haircut and the service dont let the itchy bum steer you away and lablel the groomer inadequate.Most groomers will shave every hiney as standard procedure.It is way safer to used the clippers then scissors back there.Most pets tolerate it well but some will get itchy.I would not ask or let a groomer do anal glands. I know alot of groomers do, but do you trust someone other than a vet to do a medical procedure on that soft delecate tissue that could cause irreparable damage? I dont know where people get the idea this needs to be done every six weeks during grooming. Have the vet check it everytime you go in for an exam, this should be enough on a healthy dog.I only do glands if asked, only externally, and recommend they talk to there vet to get their recommendations on this. I would make a note to the groomer to scissor around his private parts because he gets irritated. I would also call the groomer to see if he may have jummped or sat quick while she was trimming his bum. It could have been just an accident or she could have used a warm blade which would be irritaing. Alot of groomers will use the same blade starting with ears, belly area then bum last thinking that doing it in that order with the same blade is better because you are not shaving ears or around other area after using it on their behind.But the blade will get warm causing irritation.I always use a fresh clean cold blade no shorter a 10 on that area.I shave every behind unless instructed other wise. If I didn't people would complain that I didn't clip their bum short enough.
