How often do you bring your Yorkie to the Groomer? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Mine go about every six weeks, or they look like rag muffins. LOL

I get Brody done in March, June, August and October . . .then I let him go wild and wooley for the Winter . . .

I bring him there every other month to have his nail's trimmed (he won't sit still for me).

Rhianna actually went for her first nail trimming yesterday along with Brody. Her hair is not as thick as Brody's so not sure exactly if I'm going to keep her on his cut schedule.

I bathe them myself every couple weeks . . .

He does not like taking a bath, brushed or his haircut so I don't want them to get frusturated with him and that is why I want to watch. At Petsmart the girl was very sweet and did what I wanted but at one point she brought him in the back and I didn't like that. I felt it was because I was watching and they put the dogs in a crate to wait. I understand they have to do that but I don't know what it is. It just made me uncomfortable especially when she went into the back with him.

I'm not sure how it is in petsmart but i worked at petco for a few months as a bather/brusher. the bathing tubs are in the back so yeah, the owners can't watch the bath time. there are cages back there too for after bath but certain breeds don't go in them.

I should have clarified that his first haircut I didn't have them give him a bath. I gave him a bath that morning because I wasn't sure if I wanted them to give him one. I was really scared..haha One of the other associates was working with her to help hold him and he wasn't really sitting still so both girls picked him up and brought him in the back and it just felt shady to me. I felt like they brought him in the back so I couldn't see what they were going to do.

4 to 6 weeks

Daisy and Duke go about once a month

NewYorkieLover · 01-25-2009, 05:48 PM

Every 6 - 8 weeks

I do Ellie about every 2 months but let it go for the winter.
She gets baths as needed along with nail trims.
Ears are cleaned out often.
Teeth brushed daily.
Brushed rarely ever because she has shorter hair and she doesn't really mat.

There are a lot of great groomers out there but there are too many that are abusive or just don't pay attention. We have also saved a lot of money by me doing it.

Just as I wouldn't leave a child at a hair salon alone, I wouldn't leave Ellie at the groomers alone unless they were friends/family.

I know there is someone here that lives in Tucson but I can't remember who? I have a great groomer in WV but I am back in AZ now and don't know where to take Lily when she needs to be groomed. I don't want to take her to petsmart or petco. If there is anyone out there that knows the Tucson, AZ area please pm me and let me know!! THANKS!!
