I, too have had bad experiences in the past, but I have learned that you have to be specific as to what you want. I have found a terrific groomer. Her place is like a doggie spa. She does not cage the dogs, but instead she has a bunch of little rooms with half doors. The rooms have little sofas and TVs for the doggies. Her clipping station is right in the front, just in case you want to stay and watch. I tell her that I just want the ears, paws and butt area trimmed, their teeth brushed and their nails clipped. If there are knots - she will brush them out - never has she shaved them. She charges me $45.00 and my dogs honestly love going.
Find another groomer - and be specific next time.
Good luck |
