Full Grooming Haircut
After meeting you, the client, the groomer will ask you to show around so that she will pick the most comfortable place to groom your pup. After both of you have decided on the best grooming space, she and you will discuss grooming options for your dog.
First, the groomer will clean your dog’s ears. We choose to not pluck the ear hair unless requested based on the fact that it opens up the pores and becomes a breeding ground for bacteria thus leading to ear infection. Not to mention that it’s painful.
The face will be shampooed with a fine blueberry facial that will leave a pleasant but faint berry smell. The eye boogers will be softened and removed. So will dingleberries.
Anal glands will be expressed upon request for $15 add on.
Then it’s time for fluff drying by hand. The coat will be completely dried, straightened, thoroughly brushed and combed out. Light matting will be removed.
Nails will be trimmed and filed if requested as a $10 add on.
And now it’s time to do a sanitary trim and perform a haircut that we agreed upon. The groomer will use clippers and scissors to achieve the desired look.
Recommended Maintenance Schedule
I recommend having your dog professionally groomed every 3 to 8 weeks. The longer the coat you like to see on your dog, the more often it should get groomed to keep the hair manageable and tangle-free. On the other hand, if your dog’s coat is cut very short (shaved), you can get away without professional grooming for up to 8 weeks.
