| grooming question :) i've had my little buchi for a week now. he turned 4 months last saturday i gave him a bath last week but i think he needs a little trimming and i'm scared to clip his nails. i'm just wondering how much do you guys pay for your little yorkie babies to get groomed? and if going to petco or petsmart is a good idea to get buchi groomed? and do you think how much will it cost in petco or petsmart? sorry i'm such a noob. my first yorkie baby thank you in advance.

I have two more munchkins a Westie and a Shih-Tzu cross and they have always gone to a home based groomer, she charges £24 which is around $19 dollars, she was recommended and it made me feel more at ease leaving them with her, they don't seem to mind going to her now as they have gotten to know her. If I could not manage Kiki at a future in the future, I would feel happy taking her to Pam now, but I would make sure she knew how I wanted her cut etc....Finding the right groomer can be a daunting and worrying time, both for you and your furby, I am not sure if you would leave or stay while the groomer works, but staying would maybe be an option, to see for yourself how your baby reacts. (Remember if you are not happy at anytime you have the right to say so). We also have in-home groomers in the UK, who will come and groom in your own home, that could be another option for you both.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Yes see if you can get some referrals from folks in your area. Also it is best to keep her brushed out and mat free. Not only does it make the job easier for the groomer, but then you don't risk the "oh she was too matted" so I had to shave her.

| I take my dog to a local groomer and pay $35. I get her cut with a puppy cut. I work at Petsmart and it is $40 for the Yorkie package. This comes with getting their nails clipped, but if you want them grinded down instead of clipped, it's an extra $11.

| I pay $45 for both of mine. Yes, that's all she charges to do two of them. She does everything - nails, bathing, trimming, etc. She charges $15 to bathe them and touch them up. She has a grooming shop at her house, she's very patient and seems to really like what she does. I do have to book a couple of weeks in advance but well worth it.

| We used to have a groomer at our vets which gave us great peace of mind and it was about 45 or 50 each, but unfortunately they left. Now we go to a groomer that's 40 each plus tip. I try to cut back on the frequency of grooming by buzzing their bellies, butts, eyebrow hair and private areas inbetween and getting their nails done. |
