I've let Graysee's hair get almost paw level, so I brush her every day, and try to bathe her every 7-10 days. The mobile groomer comes to the house every 5-6 weeks for her professional grooming, but in between I handle the work. I can't get her to sit still for nail clipping, though, so I leave that up to the groomer. She hates the blow dryer, so it's a real task to dry her and brush her at the same time!!!
