Grooming rates? I found this ADORABLE dog shop in my town. Just opened up not too long ago and they have the cutest stuff for small and medium sized dogs..Ive become a regular and asked the owner about where she takes her dogs (2 toy poodles) to be groomed. She gave me the name of the lady and I walked over (a few doors down, same complex). I asked how much it would be to give Joey a facial trim. I want his body hair to grow out and until it starts getting "shaggy" I like to leave it alone. She told me she doesnt do only faces and that it would have to include a bath, blow out, nail trimming, glands and then the facial trim although if there were any "spots" she would trim that too...for $18.
Now, I know it seems like a lot shes going to do for a little price, but thats not what I wanted. I give him a bath, blow dry and trim his nails all on my own. I brush him daily and keep his hair the way I want. I just dont trust myself with scissors near his face...he doesnt like it either. So I feel like I was being quoted way higher than I should have.
What do you guys think?
I know, I know...I need to suck it up and just trim his face myself...but Im scared.
