I was just wondering when i should take Ms. Tsubi for her first grooming? She had her last set of puppy shots plus rabies shot last weekend and she is 16 weeks now. Her Vet trimmed her nails and plugged her ears for her but I think she needs some hair cut since her hair is soo long and she is a little hair ball now. she just needs a tirm all over her body and I don't even wanna try doing it on my own cuz i know i will mess up.

I think she would be ready to go. I would make sure that the groomer was very gentle and went very slowly with her. You don't want someone to scare her on her first experience, then she could have problems in the future. When Brooke was a puppy, I found a place that would bathe and groom her in 2 hrs. so she would not have to sit in the kennel all day. Good Luck!

I think my Vet said to wait 10 days - but if you're going to Jorge I'm sure he'll keep her away from other dogs.
