well, tucker is my first yorkie and the first dog i've owned that needed grooming... other than baths. we live in the country, so we don't have many options when it comes to professional groomers, but i knew i couldn't do it well. i've trimmed around his face some myself and he gets a bath once a week, and i trim his nails. i took him to an animal hospital where another yorkie owner had taken hers. we had a really good experience. i dropped him off before work at 7:30 and picked him up after work at 4:00. it was $15 for a bath and another $15 for the cut. he did have to get his shot for "kennel cough", so our total was $45. from reading the other posts, that was a good deal! anyway, they even took a picture of him during his bath and gave me a copy. that made me feel like they cared! i'll probably just take him back whenever he gets long again! |
