I took my baby for a puppy groom today because I failed to do it on my own
It includes a bath, cutting his nails, trimming his legs and body fur, sanitary shave, ear cleaning.I have all the supplies to do it on my own but my baby thinks that Mommy is to be bullied. He wouldn't stay still for me and he is so wriggly I am just not able to do it.Even when he is sleeping, I try to cut one nail at a time, he will jump up the instant I touch his nail. So back to the groomer, I have found one that I like in Toronto and I will surely go back there again and the prices are reasonable. They let me stayed in the shop while they do it in the room and I can see him although I tried to hide away from him so that it is easier for the groomer to control him.He is much much better when I am not around although he still wriggles a little and the groomer appreciates that I stay out of sight.I am so grateful that they tried to make me feel comfortable with the whole grooming issue. I told them honestly I have problem with groomers being rough on my baby.I can understand if the groomers are being assertive but I will not be able to tolerate if they start to get rough and I am glad that they try to reassure me that they can't be too gentle to the point that they can't do their job, they will be as gentle as possible to make him comfortable.He did got his butt cut a little, a tiny dot because he was wriggling too much but he didn't feel the pain and they put some antiseptic powder on him so that is good.Although I am nervous on them cutting his butt a little, I think overall, it is a good experience.
