I am sure plucking the hair out will save us money in vet bills from ear infections, etc, although it is hard to do it at first because they really don't like it until they get used to it. |
I hope when I have to do it my little guy doesn't complainm too much because he hates to be held down. The vet couldn't even keep him still. You are lucky that your dog got used to it. I hope in time mine gets used to it too.
