Teddy new groomer charges 37 dollars. Bath, Nails, gland expressed, trim feet, brush out and blow dry. He is still so short I was hoping he would be closer to back to normal by now.

Wow that seems very reasonable! I do hope his coat comes all the way back, Ron, no reason it shouldn't although slower than any of us would like!

I am hopeful, but he was doing so well then had a huge shed "blow out" and it seems like we're starting over the only difference is he has color again.

Was $50.00 here, just went up to $60.00. She has been Zulu's only groomer, and she does a great job.

Back when I had Riley I took him to a groomer….I didn’t know at that point how easy it was. I think I paid 60 then but boy did this groomer ever push me about trimming his fur! We finally agreed on trimming his chest fur, she wouldn’t take no for an answer! Once I got Piper (turned out it was the same breeder of Riley, a twist of fate that brought us together for sure) the breeder showed me how easy they are to groom. I’m not saying everyone should do them themselves just that it worked out for me…I’m cheap like Cindy lol…and I’d rather spend the saved money on them! New brushes, combs, blower, shampoo’s and other products…my dogs are rich me not so much

I groom my boys as well. I bought a sheltie grooming book, combs, brushes. Over time, I've gotten a feel for what I like as well as what the boys like. This summer, I added a table and blower. They definitely have not adjusted to the blower yet, but taking it slow and hey are super vain so I make such a big deal out of them when I use it. They will be begging for it fairly soon.
Anyone else have super vain dogs? Like the boys KNOW they look good when they get groomed and their attitudes reflect it. Last time I did the full grooming, I took a pic of them together and they were literally posing, like 2 little kids totally thrilled with themselves. They sat up tall, didn't move for their pictures.

I do think mine like how they feel after baths, during not so much!

Gavin poses whenever the phone camera comes out. And he is even worse when we are travelling somewhere. I took probably close to 1000 pictures of him at the Grand Canyon
He will even move his head slightly to give me different shots!

I love my mobile groomer. She just raised her rates to $50 this year! She is worth every penny. since I am working full time now it helps to have her do Baron and Beau every six weeks. I can do Liam myself. I have invested in a complete doggie spa for my basement! I saved $$$ when I did it myself. Not hard. Just time consuming.

Since mine have all been show dogs at some point in their lives, they view post bath time as meaning long sessions on the grooming table for trimming, chalking, primping, and brushing are imminent so they tend to run for the hills LOL. Some of them love having their pictures taken though, and will pose nicely! Sprite has been known to bark at some imaginary thing to lure her roomies out of the frame so she can have the camera to herself!
