Hmmmm.... looks like I don't "groom enough"!
Tatum goes maybe every 6 months or so at the cost of about $30. Her hair is in a long layered cut. I do trim her paw pads and hiney area myself along with her ears. I guess mostly what the groomer does is the inside ear hair and a basic trim. As for shampoos, conditioners and such..... I bought a good set quite a while back and it's lasting forever. Can't even remember how long it's been. I honestly don't think I could afford to take her to the groomer as often as some people here. I myself have to get my hair cut every 6 weeks or so but it's a "luxury" I have to deal with. I think I can do enough for Tatum in between her professional grooming appointments.
