I was glad to come across this thread. I was told that I can not take my puppy to the groomers until she has had all of her booster shots. She will be caught up by next week and then I am in the clear. As a result she is now pretty matted, and I fully expect she will need to be shaved. I have been bathing her weekly, but am guilty of not brushing her daily. I am hopeing that she will not be a terror for her first grooming visit, but I would not be offended if she was muzzled for the groomers protection.
I was going to try and work-out the mats myself, but I don't want to tramitize her, so shaved it is. I guess she will look pretty silly for awhile, but it's just hair and it will grow back. Any tips for prepareing her for her first visit? I dont want her to be bad
