My groomers are used to finicky owners, but they're really absolute GOLD with the pups. Sometimes I take them in individually; other times they go together. They're usually only there for 2-3 hours. They don't want you to stay because the dogs act differently (Mommy! MOMmy! MOMMYYYYYY!) - kinda like when your skinkid stays overnight somewhere and the mom there tells you what a wonderfully helpful and well behaved kid you have there (where? Where? MY kid????)
They're a little more expensive than taking them to PetSmart, but I would never take Bella there, anyway (she's got long hair), but the extra few $$$ is worth it. The dogs are happy to come home, but are never stressed. They're loved and pampered at the groomer, and they know it.
So, even though I wouldn't think twice about leaving them there, the groomer wouldn't want them there much longer than it takes me to pick them up. |
