Grooming can be a lucrative business! When I had two cockers spaniels in full coat every 6 weeks we made trips to the groomer. $100 for the two (wash, dry, trim, demat if necessary, bandana, tooth brushing) It got to be too expensive so I bought clippers, table, shampoo, etc to do it at home. 2-4 hours out of a Saturday. I did this until my babies passed away.
On to my yorkie...$45/ 4 weeks wash, dry, trim, nails and teeth. Troy gets more touch ups than my cockers since he's smaller and lot less work. Weekly baths, ear cleaning, teeth at home. And I can finish that in about 15 minutes.
To the OP, good for you for finding a good solution. |
