$75-$80 per dog?!?

Where do you live?
I live in Podunk, AL and the groomers here charge $40 for my mini schnauzer (haven't taken my yorkie puppy yet). That seems high to me for where we live, but it's the going rate. I wouldn't mind so much if I could find a groomer I liked, but I've tried all the ones in town and only felt lukewarm about them at best. My 17 week old puppy needs I guess a mini (shave ears, pluck hair inside, clean up around the 'business' parts), but I don't want to leave her and the groomer I use now only works weekdays and I work out of town so my schnauzer stays all day. No way I'm leaving the baby (yorkie) there all day. Thinking about trying Petsmart. Hoping I could just stay and wait for her for the little we need done. Opinions anyone on Petsmart groomers??
