From the time Bambino needed his first at four months,I've only been dealing with mobile groomers. What I love about them is that they let you sit in the van and watch what is going on with your baby. The first groomer to ever groom Bambino was an amazing person. He automatically fell in love with him and they bonded. He always treated him sweetly and when Bambino was all set he looked like a million bucks. His services included:
Bath
Ears
Nails
Eyes
Glands
Privates
Cut and style
Cologne
Bandana
for $50.00 (I would tip)
Unfortunately after 2 years he moved away,so i found a different groomer (also mobile). They charged $30.00 and I would tip as well but I was never satisfied a 100 percent with the cut. What I used to say to myself is, you can't beat the price and he was also really good with Bambino. Unfortunately that groomer left as well and they replaced him with a different guy and the first time he cut Bambino's hair it was HORRIBLE! I vowed to find a different mobile groomer. So I am in that process now. What I like about mobile groomers is that they will allow you to sit in the van with them until you feel comfortable and you can make sure they are giving you exactly what you want. Also, there is no "holding cage" stress, no "muzzle" stress and they are right in front of your house so when they are done they ring your door bell and in comes your baby running and jumping because they are done and smelling amazing!
Also, I used to hear horror stories from my other Yorkie friends about groomers being rough with them and mistakingly dislocating their leg or arm, or cutting them by mistake with the scissors!! Ugh! Bambino is 3.5 lbs, so of course I am extra careful when taking him to a stranger who is going to be dealing with him. |
