You have to squeeze butts, wipe boogers, and clean poo off of rectums. You're going to be bit and snapped at, and your arms will be covered in scratches.
It's most definitely not for the weak hearted. But despite that I still love my job. A lot of dogs are sweethearts (even though their owners may not be) and it's fun to spend all day with them. Turning a dirty nasty dog into a pretty poofball is very rewarding. Seeing dramatic results and happy faces of owners is awesome  |
OMG I KNOW! Haha, I'm not entirely grossed out because they do it in the bath tub right before a bath so that you can just wash off you and the dog. I don't know if they squeeze if the sacs are not full, they told me where to feel on a dog that had full sacs and what it feels like so yeah. But if the sacs aren't full, I don't know if they try to squeeze still or not I'll have to ask.
I think the super bad breath thing gets me gaggin' more than anything else cuz I mean I have 3 cats and 1 dog, I am pretty used to pee and poo smells of various sorts. LOL
We are constantly cleaning up poop and pee and disinfecting at the groomers salon. This one huge labradoodle they had that was some kind of service dog got really scared and upset when they quicked his dew claw, but it was cracked thats why it even got quicked on accident. But he ended up pooping himself but luckily it fell to the floor and not on anyone or on the low table he was on.
Omggg though I really need to get me one of those groomer jackets. If it happened right now it'd be on my clothes! Ahhh! lol
