We take our Lucy to a private groomer and have since she was 6 months old. At first we took her to PetSmart, but the lady we liked quit. PLUS they charged $40 and she was only 2lbs.. Then we found our current groomer. She has only charged us $20 for the last 5 1/2 years. She has not raised the prices, plus she is gentle and Lucy LOVES her.
