Congrats on your new little one. I think $10 a week is a bit much. You could learn to do all the things that the groomers will be doing, and you can do it for free.
When we first got Reesie I was scared to trim his nails. But I had the vet show me how to do it and now I just do it myself. Much cheaper! You just have to clip the very tip, you don't want to go down too far or you will cut the quick. I always clip them after I have given him a bath, that way they are softer to clip. I take him straight from the bath right over and clip his nails, keeping him covered in the towel. I also smear some peanut butter on the corner of the towel and that keeps him busy licking while I'm clipping his nails. Works wonderfully!
Also, you need to call the vet about her scooting on her bottom, that is a sign that she has worms, and maybe the meds she is on are not working.
Good luck with your new baby! You have come to the right place to find help with your questions. You will find that there are many knowledgeable people here on YT. You will learn a lot! Enjoy your baby!
