I was going to stay out of this one ! But can't! I have few that they give them a pill before they bring them! bUT That was their choose! They wanted the hair around thier eyes shaved and these dog just would not let me! So that's theonly way to do it! I never tell them to do it, it's their choose! If you start them out as pups and do it on reg. bases they usually get better! I have a yorkie I do that let's me do any thing to him,but not his nails! Forget it ,noway! She takes him the vet.sorry don't pay me enought to get the hell bit out of me! Benadry does not hurt them! Just calms them a little! I use it for some of my dogs that are scared of the storms!Helps keep having a yorkie sitting on my face in the middle of the night! Ha! Well this is my opinion for what it's worth! lily |
