I dont know. I am just thinking if something were to really happen to him why should it be my responsibility? And also I would like to be able to raise hell and sue if Bentley got hurt here

Another thing was that she was "okay" not very nice, she owns the small shop and she didnt offer to show me around and she knew it was my first time.

Then when I went to pick up Bentley she made me pay first, she gave me the receipt and she didnt let me see Bentley until AFTER I paid her. I thought this was shady? Like she was trying to get her money in case I didnt like the cut? Bentley was ready 15 minutes before I went to pick him up so I dont think there was any reason for holding him?

She's supposed to have a lot of experience, and I read some reviews and I just told myself not to be so skeptical.

I heard about her from a member here in YT

Here's her website:

Poodle Penthouse - National Award Winning Certified Master Groomer - Poodles, Pomeranians, Bichons, Chihuahuas, Maltese, Shih Tzu, Tampa, Florida

This could be normal but I've never went to a groomer before and that's why I am asking. Maybe I should try another groomer next time? I was thinking about a mobile groomer. That way I can stay with him and he wont have to be so many hours waiting for his haircut. She took 3 hours.

This is the one I would like to try next, I checked on google and facebook and it has a lot of good reviews:

HydroDog Mobile Pet Grooming

Opinions??? If anyone is in Tampa, Fl any recommendations would be appreciated
I didn't have to sign a release form for Bella when I had her groomed. I assume that Bentley's groomer had you sign a release because they don't have insurance. It isn't necessarily shady, because I don't know the laws in Florida, but it sounds arrogant, and it would piss me off. Oh, and I got to see Bella BEFORE I paid. I mean, who would pay for a bad haircut? I'm glad you're looking for another groomer.
