I groom my two myself. I use some inexpensive trimmers (I plan on upgrading soon) and scissors to groom them. I usually let their hair grow out during the winter and shave them pretty short during the summer. Just a week ago, I chose to shave my female because she had a couple of mats that I didn't want to have to rip out. I figure she has a fresh cut and hopefully I can keep on top of brushing her. She has a cottony coat, so she has to be brush daily.
Grooming really is pretty simple... I sit on the ground with them after a bath in front of a large mirrored armoire. I blow dry them in my lap and then when they need a trim, they I do it the same way. They don't try to move and know that they need permission to leave my lap. I would definitely try grooming Mochi yourself if you can. It takes a little practice, but it will save you a ton of money! |
