And for those that require a topknot a show bow is included. I allow 2 hours per dog....never double book or are they ever crated. Dogs are dryed in my lap and not in a cage. |
My tri-pod Katie (3-legged due to trauma as a 4-week old) had a WILD terrier coat. One day I decided she'd do better clipped. They scheduled her for the last dog of the day so she didn't have any ruckus to put up with, and let me stay so she wouldn't be afraid. Right before they started to wash her, they put towels in the dryer so they'd be nice and warm. They put her on the floor in a nest of warm towels and sat down there with her to dry her. They took their time until she settled down because the noise scared her.
They were kind, and gentle and never once scared her.
People like you are a blessing! And I thank you.
