A lady who shows Yorkies said she use to work in a grooming shop and could tell about some horrible things she witnessed, and strongly suggests we groom our own dogs. Mine have never been groomed by anyone but me.
Ask your Vet. what type he recommends.

I stand and watch mine being groomed. I never leave them there as i have heard horrible stories as well. I told them i would pay extra if I could have them groomed while i stayed and watched. I bath them myself then take them just for a hair cut and nail trim like super cuts

i am so torn-haha so many different answers!! i appreciate all the responses though!!
..im thinking i am going to get the shot done-and keep my fingers crossed!!(of course i will ask the vet what he recommends, etc.)
-About the grooming, yeah i know i have heard some bad things as well, and i definately think you should also go with your gut when you walk into a place, or go off referrals, etc. There is a place close to my house that does everything right there in front of you.. i think they bathe them towards the back though. anyways.. i haven't taken Avery for grooming yet, so we will see. (i have been giving her a bath, etc.)
And i do plan on taking her to the park, walks, and different places with me.(so i want to get the bordatella done, so i dont have to worry about it)
We didnt go this past weekend.. and she gets her last set of shots this coming weekend..
..Should i wait on the bordatella till after this last set?? Should i get the rabies done at the same time as her last set?? or break it up?? sorry i am probably being annoying with all my questions.. but better to be safe than sorry!! <3
