Vist the shop a couple of different times to see it. Talk to the owner/groomer and see if it would be possible for you to stay the first time. Are their grooming tables out in the open so that you can see how the groomers handle the dogs? Or are they behind closed doors? Most importantly follow your gut instinct. If for some reason you don't feel comfortable do not use them.
As for the clothes, it tough finding cute boy clothes in the local stores, especially in the small sizes. If you don't have a nice boutique in your area you may want to forgo dressing him this time and start doing some shopping online. There are a lot of amazing vendors on YT. Good luck. |
Ahh thanks so much! Why not Petco/Petsmart? That's really helpful as I was just planning on taking him there once he was ready. Luckily my vet actually has a groomers attached to it so I'll probably just take him there since I trust them
And in regards to vendors on YT, is there a page that list them all or a section to go to? Sorry I'm new here and should probably look around here more closely!

I have all girls, but Ralph Lauren website has the cutest polo shirts for pups and they are perfect for little boy pups.
Good Luck! |

Yeah I've thought about that but I'm so nervous I'll mess him up, plus my furbaby is so wiggly I don't want to accidentally hurt him!
