I live in a small town (but very spread out land wise). We only have two choices for pet grooming: Petsmart and one other place (which is all the way across the county from us). The only problem we have ever had with our Petsmart is them not cutting enough. Thankfully, they've never over cut; however, now that we have two, we groom them ourselves almost all of the time. My husband set up a table in our garage with a pole. We have multiple fans going for summer and a heater for winter. We do not have to use a leash loop with Zeus, but we do with Perseus. Percy is a squirmy little boy. My husband shaves their bodies, and I do the finger cutting on the legs. We both work on their heads and faces. It's work but well worth it in the end. They are happier (if they can be getting their hair cut) at home and with us. Learning to do it was not that hard, and like someone else said, we can screw it up like anyone else for free. Good luck to you! |
