So after participating in several grooming threads, it made me start to wonder if I'm getting Gizmo groomed and cut to often. I have the mobile groomer come every 2 weeks and he does everything, trimming, wash and dry, anal glands, , , , removing hair from inside ears, trimming nail and accessories. It ends up costing with the tip $80. I can wash and dry him, and can probably trin him as I'm a hair stylist so it shouldn't be to much of a difference. The only thing I'm iffy on is the nails as I can't see the quik de to his nails being black and definitely do not know how to express the anal glands as well as don't want to pull the inside ear hair.

So my question is, how often do you use a groomer, and what is your cost, if you don't mind me asking :-)

Thanks in advance for any info :-)

Ps. Also he is a cotton coat, I think but am not sure as he's only 8 months old, his fur was in really bad shape when I rescued him because he was so malnourished, and I know their coats keep changing. His color is also changing a lot right now, His face is real silky, he has a long silky tail, and seems silky on his back between the shoulder blades. He does seem to get more silky as time goes on, as when I rescued him he was all cotton, but is now like half and half :-) also a few weeks back he lost a lot of the cordon hair so I am wondering if his coat is changing to silky, any ideas?

I have a ton of really great shampoos, conditioners and spray detangler for him I have stocked up as well.

It would be awesome to find out what the normal routine most use is :-) thanks again so much. Gizmo is my first yorkie, as I've always had larger dogs so I'm winging it as I go, and trying to learn as much as a can about the normal routine others use :-)
