I have used the same groomer for 16 years and we love her!!! Winston goes every 2 weeks so he never really has that "just groomed" look...he always looks the same. I have recommended her to many, she is busy and you have to wait quite awhile for the first visit, but then she puts you on the schedule...it has worked out great for me, I have never had a complaint. She is so patient and understanding, I think what she does for animals is some what miraculous...she just has a way with them...it always amazes me.

I used to take Cooper to a groomer but I had a couple concerns:
1) I can't find one I trust, and don't want to take a chance with his trachea cough he can't have pressure on his neck (from the collars most groomers use) And I feel like even if I tell them that, they will still use it on him
2) They don't check inoculations at groomers and I don't want him to get sick

So now I do it myself, Baron's never been to a groomer

I marked "other" I take mine to the groomer, but I do touch ups at home in between professional groomings. I do ears/bangs/butt/feet/hoo-ha/ and then they only go to the groomer to get a shape up!

Oh well... we dont' go anymore... i groom her.. but whenever we walk to the back of petsmart (where the groomers is and the grooming supplies) she tries to get out of my arms.

I took my Bryan to petsmart on Friday go get a hair cut because he turned 6 months and they shaved my boy down to his skin.....the chick tried to tell me that we was matted....he has been tramatized ever since.....
