I was a bad yorkie mom who only had her first baby groomed every two months-it was a standing appointment. I would bathe her about once or twice in between. Nails were never a problem.

Thanks to YT and Youtube, I am trimming and bathing Gracie myself. The baths are weekly, and since I am not remotely good at the trimming, that takes place as needed. I never take off much at a time. I trim nails, but for stinky stuff we will see the vet.

It is not so much the cost as that I am less willing to leave our Gracie alone at a groomer's
all day.

So, to your question, I would buy a grooming stand ( you likely have EVERYTHING else you need!) and cut the grooming visits to less often. But then, I have a second daughter getting married less than 13 months after her sister- my money is spoken for!
