When you make an appointment at a salon for yourself you don't go into a crate and wait! Why can't the pet grooming business be run the same way? I found one that does and I am going to start using it. They should all be like that to begin with. |
Like I said above, the one groomer liked to clip all the dogs and then give them all a bath. I was fine with this except her hours were only in the middle of the day so it was really inconvenient for anyone who worked. I found myself scheduling grooming appts for my days off and that was when I wanted to see Loki! She only did 4 dogs a day. Her biggest issue was she didn't seem to own a pair of scissors - she used clippers for everything!
Another groomer I used for a while would let me drop Loki off at lunch around noon and then let me pick him up at 4:00 when I got off work. That worked well for me until she changed her hours. How do some of these groomers expect you to work around their daytime hours?
I like being able to leave Loki for only an hour, but I HAVE to get a Saturday appt or otherwise I have to make my husband take him at lunch! The thing is, if I didn't work all day I'd just groom him myself!
