I have been to 3 different groomers for my Mr. Perkins. The first one was great for puppy cuts. She did his cut in my avatar. The second wasn't so good. She cut him and never told me. When I saw the cut and called the place the manager apologized and put a note in his records that I was to be told of any thing like this happening again. When I brought him in for his next groom, the groomer took his leash from me and said to him "Are you in a better mood this time?" That was the last time we went there. So we were back at the first groomer. There was nothing wrong with her I had just wanted to try others in the area. Then I wanted to try to grow his hair out. She did not like that idea and told me that I would not be happy because he is a cotton coat. I wanted to try anyway. I was there for a trim and sani and nails. I told her NOT to cut his face at all. It was finally getting long enough to keep out of his eyes. When I picked him up ... you guessed it. His face was shaved. I was not happy. Then I had to travel for work. My son was going to puppysit for the 2 months I would be gone. Panic!!!! I know he was not about to take care of all that hair so I tried to get an appointment and finally had to settle for Petsmart. Much to my surprise and joy they did exactly what I asked. I even got to stay and watch thru the window. For me it was worth shopping around. |
