My 3 Yorkies (and Terrier Mix) are groomed every 2-3 months. My profile picture is of one of my Yorkies who was just groomed when I took that picture. I have their hair cut low so it's slow to grow back. In between professional grooming I bathe them as needed, so as not to cause them to have dry skin. Daily I clean their eyes and check their anus for debris. I also trim around their eyes as needed. Their nails don't seem to be a problem. This system works great for us. On occasion, I will use a waterless cleaner just to freshen them up. I have an excellent groomer that I've used for almost 10 years. He's compassionate and always grooms them just as I instruct. He's the most popular groomer in my community. The only negative is that cost has increased over the years to $45 per dog which seems expensive but is still reasonable for California. |
