I'm glad it worked out for you.
While I haven't tried out many of my back up plans/theories yet, I have several!!
My vet allows techs to perform some grooming functions--clean ears, eyes, clip nails, express glands, etc. (Their practice for the latter is far superior to most/all groomers.) I've never asked, but suspect they would clear a matt or two.
Haven't checked, but would ask my vet if they would refer me to a groomer.
There are several big-box stores close to me--they all have large windows surrounding their grooming centers with waiting room-like chairs on the outside of the windows. In light of all the well publicized pet deaths, don't believe I'd ever just hand my pup to these shop and then leave. Also wouldn't want her to wait in a cage before or after. Pretty sure I'd be comfortable allowing them to perform the service if I had my watchful eye on them albeit from the other side of those glass windows. |
