It seems that many of the groomers do the grooming in stages. All dogs washed, all dogs nails, all dogs hair cut etc so that it takes a whole day to do the grooming. I think that it stresses out many dogs to spend the whole day and the groomer that we originally used did not take them out for a pee break. I have since found a new groomer that does each dog start to finish. Punkin is done in an hour and a half or less :) She also grooms in a store front window so you know that the dogs are being treated very well. |
I must be over protective but I couldn't leave Ellie with a groomer by herself unless I was friends with them. In some places they make them sit in cages all day, then with nooses, and standing on tables, and drying cages, and other dogs barking Ellie would be so scared. Then you have some grooming places that are private but ones like PetSmart are in the middle of town. These shopping areas can have high crime rate and there is no way Ellie would be out of my sight. I wouldn't let my child stay at a salon alone...no way. I don't really know those people. If I had to take her somewhere to get groomed, I'd watch the WHOLE thing and it better take less than six hours. Maybe I'm the only one... And I think 2 hours is plenty long enough. |

Boy am I with you! I do my own grooming cause the whole leaving them, trusting some one else thing freaked me out to much! I got talking to a woman that was a groomer and she told me NEVER LEAVE YOUR DOG WITH THE GROOMER... SHe has seen dogs fall off the table, HIT THE FLOOR...and they NEVER TOLD THE OWNER!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: I almost died when I heard that. |
I don't leave my baby with the groomer. I usually stay there and it takes about 1 hour as his fur is not too long but I don't even do that anymore. I just give up on finding a good groomer and does all the grooming on my own now. I just go them to get his nails cut and the groomer in this place is good in cutting nails. There was once this groomer whom I thought was really good, cut into almost all the quick my baby has and bled all over on to me because I was holding him and my baby and I was traumatized for days! She even quickly wiped up all the blood in fear that someone else will see it because she is on her way to pick up her dog! |

There are so many horror stories that I wouldn't even consider leaving her anywhere like that alone. The only place like that that she is left alone is the vets because I don't have a choice and I trust her vet anyway. |
Alot of grooming shops offer express service where your dog is done start to finish and its usually a 90 minute job. I dont understand how anyone can take up to 4 hours to groom a yorkie. I can get one done start to finish in 1 1/2 hours or less depending on whats getting done. 3 hours at the absolute most if its a really busy day. |
groomers be careful dropping off your boys that are not neutered at the groomers for long periods of time.a groomer in my area was caught breeding other peoples dogs (yorkies) to her female and an employee reported her to the clients yes clients. I was there buying products when the stink happened. I am so not nosey.people are crazy and things turn pretty quickly so I left post haste. |
Wow that's seems like a long time. Maxi is usually done in 1 1/2 or 2 hours the most. I feel your pain and definitely wouldnt go there again. |

Thats just horrible.. LOL and I hate grooming unneutered males (puppies I dont mind) its the male dogs whos hormones have set in and they want to pee on every thing. Its just gross |
I used to work at a dog boutique/grooming place (I worked in the boutique). We had a drop off time between 8 and 10 in the morning. Generally, the ones dropped off first would be bathed and groomed first. So dogs dropped off right at 8 were normally done before lunch or soon after while the dogs dropped off at 10 might not be done until 5:00. The bathers bathe, dry, and brush the dogs to get them ready for the groomer and then the groomers cut the hair. Bathing takes a 30 minutes, drying takes 30minutes to an hour (or more depending on the dog) and brushing takes a while too (especially if dogs are matted). Then grooming takes 30minutes to an hour per dog (depending on cut, size and behavior). I just don't think it's fair to assume a groomer will be done in 2 hours. We did have an "express groom" that cost $15 more...the owner brought the dog in and it was immediately bathed, dried, and groomed and out in 1.5-2 hours. So unless a groomer is making scheduled appointments throughout the day and doing one dog from start to finish...you have to expect there to be some wait time. |

I used to groom one large breed unneutered dog and he dripped the entire time he was being groomed it was so gross. |
groomers I have groomers who come to my house which is Wonderful I don't have to go to them. They come in a van and I give them coffee, donuts and they have a blast. Anyway they only take 2-hrs. Mind you they are kinda pricy. They charge me 32.00 for each. The bows are free (ha,) I bet. but that is my imput. Cheryl:aimeeyork |
