[Yorkiemom1]

I have heard so many negative reviews about the grooming dept. at Petco....I have no idea if they are true, but I figure ."where there is soooooo much smoke, there is bound to be a fire". By the same token, I was taking mine to a very expensive, well referred, very busy groomer,and ONE day, they got all buggered up on their appointments, they were running about 8 hours behind, and they went NUTS....I guess they put all the dogs in a huge wash area and took a hose and just sprayed them all down, lathered them all up, then sprayed them all down....I am just guessing at what happened, all I know is my poor little Bumper came home absolutely terrified....he NEVER got over the trauma of what happened that day......he would shake in sheer terror if he even heard water running in a faucet.....that is when I decided my babies would never be subjected to that terror again, just to be groomed, so I do my own "grooming". They may not look like professionally groomed Yorkies, but we do not go anywhere off the property, and they are so active in the back yard, and Houston summers are always over 100*, they all sport short coats! There are groomers on YT that are always so helpful, there are YouTube videos on how to groom.....if you can not find a really good, compassionate, with great referrals, groomer, I would opt to do my own.
