I am Gracie's part time groomer. She does have a professional groomer that she goes to about every 3 months. I keep her trimmed up in between her groomer visits. I just use my little round tipped scissors to trim her feet and butt. I have regular hair scissors to cut her length if I have to. It's a pretty easy job since she is accustomed to me doing it and she is a good girl anyway. She gets a weekly bath and blow dry so she knows the routine pretty well.
You are right to be cautious about leaving your baby at a groomers. There are so many really bad ones out there. I finally found a very good place to take Gracie. I drop her off and then pick her up after an hour and a half. They are really great people and have a boutique in their home. I live not far from there or I would never leave her at all. I would never consider leaving a pet for hours at a time at a groomers shop. |
