I found a new groomer for Max. He didn't necessarily have a bad experience at the first groomer, but I wasn't happy. I don't want him crated and I don't like the idea of dropping him off in the morning and picking him up at the end of the day.
I looked around for a place I liked and although most groomers want you to drop off and pick up later, I asked if it was possible for me to take him in and wait so that he won't be crated. They agreed, so I believe some places will make the exception if you express your concerns. I make an appointment and they call me when the groomer is finishing up. Since I'm waiting in the car, I go in and pay and then he's ready. |
