STAY AWAY FROM PETSMART groomers! I'm from the austin area and the first time I took lil Bailey to get groomed was at petsmart..It was OK. They gave him this lion of a cut...I really didn't like it. PLUS it was november..my poor lil thing was so cold this past winter. I had to buy him lots of sweaters. The second time I took him, which was about 3 months later. The ***** pulled..no YANKED his hair out of his ears..and she took SKIN from both of his ears. I keep wondering why he kept scratching at his ears...the groomer said he may do that, and that she put some talc powder in his ears to soothe all the pulling. That night, I looked into his ears and saw nasty dried blood and pus-like goo everywhere. Good Job lady, not only did she yank skin off of both ears, she caused a yeast infection in them too (with the talc/open skin)That cost me a vet trip and antibiotic cream. I was furious.
From now on. I do MY OWN grooming. I figured it out fast, I prefer to use the conair trimmer set for men...got it from walmart. It has an itty bitty trimmer, perfect and just the right size for his nose and between the eyes. Also I can get really close to the skin w/o cutting or nicking. And a good pair of cutting scissors. I think he appreciates me doing it myself and is well behaved when I am trimming him. recently gave him a mohawk...it's great! The blurry-like pics are the ones with the mohawk and the very fisrt pic..I trimmed him myself.
