| question on Groomers..... I haven't taken my puppy yet, but was wondering don't they put something around their neck and stand them on a table? Isn't that bad for their trachea..what if they fight or something....my puppy has never been groomed and I'm sure she won't take it laying down, so that concerns me, cause I don't want anything around her neck. |

| Many groomers use what is called a "loop". It is not tight around their neck. Some groomers do not use a loop but most of the one's I know do. As long as they do not walk off and leave your little one on the table with the loop then it should be fine. I have heard horror stories of a local groomer leaving dogs on the grooming table with the loop only to be found out by owners who have walked in to pick up their dog.

| most groomers in my area use a loop, it is not tight, it is more to help the dog hold still. A groomer is never suppose to walk away from the table when their is a dog there. I saw this happen once , and i was so upset, thinking the dog was going to jump off the table, he didn't. At the bigger grooming places like Petsmart or Petco you can observe the groomers and the dogs. I think they charge too much money though, however some of them are pretty good.
