HELP..I did it,i scheduled his first grooming appt... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhkkkkkkkkk!! i know im a terrible mommy to not have done this earlier and get him used to the process but trying to find a good groomer isnt an easy task... I finally found a place that i have seen good results come out of it... and it came recommended from my puppy class... NEEDLESS TO SAY IM CRAPPING BRICKS HERE!! I would just like some pointers and questions i should ask the groomer before a go so that i seem some what knowledgeable in the subject and they dont take me for a fool.. u know???... any tips, advice, questions .. things i SHOULD LOOK OUT FOR is DESPARATELY NEEDED SO PLZ SHOOT AWAY thanks a bunch guys... *HUGS* |
I wish I could give more advice, but I would say be very firm about what you want and maybe even write it down. Good Luck, can't wait to see pics... I do all Lexi's grooming myself. The lady that groomed her last was asked to pluck her ears, shave her paw pads, the tips of her ears, her bum, and clip her toe nails. Well, she decided that Lexi needed an all around trim and cut the hair around her ears real short, trimmed "only about half an inch from her body" (urghhh), and cut her mustash. I was fuming, refuse to pay her, or ever go back. |
oh gosh.. im super nervous... hey can u come to NYC and groom Chicle for me :) ill pay ur flight down here but u will have to move down :) lol :p |
I'm sure everything willbe fine. The woman who did Lexi use to groom for show Yorkies and decided that since Lexi was not going to be shown she could do what she thought was easier to take care of. The thing is I love brushing her and she has NEVER had a knot and she's not scragguly or anything, so why would she cut her hair. |
very strange.. i guess she was lazy .. i dunno. ANY MORE SUGGESTS?? anyone?? :confused: :) |
FEEL FREE to make any changes - but I have a MASTER list I used for the girls - you have to stress to the groomer - PLEASE DO NOT CUT AS YOU WANT - CUT AS I ASK ! I basically have these things I NEED them to do - Shave Top 1/3 of ears Pluck inside the ear Sanitary cut on tummy Shave a LITTLE on their butt - clip long hair so it's not in the way Shape feet and trim under them Clip nails If you're looking for a puppy cut - ask them to use sizzors on the face NOT trimmers - One miss with an electric trimmer and you have half their face hair chopped off - I know cause that happened to Cheri. Type it up and TAKE IT WITH YOU...add or take away anything you want done - And good luck ! Its hard to find a good one - but the good thing about BAD haircuts is they grow back. |
Villette!!! *HUGS* * KISS* THANKS SO MUCH for your list! i'll definitely be using ur list as my template .. my appt is at 9 a.m. tomorrow just the thought of a bad hair cut makes my stomach ill. ill post pics of his MAKEOVER when all is done :) |
I think Vette gave you excellant advise. I just wanna say good luck at the groomers. I can remember how nervous I was the first time my dogs went. |
OH Chaci thanks so much... Thank you all for your info, input and support you guys are the bestest!!!!!! |

If you aren't happy with the cut - In the future - if you pass groomers while driving - it only takes a minute to go in and look around - BEFORE you make appointments - Since you found one - I'll say GOOD LUCK ! I bet your baby comes home looking adorable :) |
