Does anyone know if its OK to take him to the groomers if I explain to them about the situation? Is it safe?
Thanks in advance for any advice. |
My last yorkie, Chelsea, had CT. Anything that stressed her out aggravated her breathing difficulties, so i started grooming her at home myself. The first year she looked a mess. By the second year, i was much better. It's trial & error. You learn from your mistakes and your grooming improves over time. Now, thanks to Youtube videos, there are lots of examples of how to do it. Watch some grooming videos and train yourself.
Personally, i wouldnt risk going to the groomers. If i absolutely couldnt do it myself, i would use a mobile groomer that comes to the house.
