Bein over charged at the groomer?

| My guess is that this groomer wasn't happy about grooming a full double coated OES - and this was their way to get rid of you without coming out and saying so!
I have had this problem with more than one groomer - they complain that the dogs are in full-coat and take too much work! Silly me - I thought that's what I was paying them for! 
We've been through so many groomers - because many of them (in my opinion) are LAZY and don't want to be bothered grooming a dog that actually needs grooming - they'd prefer the quick bath dogs! It probably had nothing to do with your dog's behavior - or the condition of their coat - it was the groomer complaining that they actually had to work for their $$$! Again - Just my opinion! A good groomer isn't easy to come by! Our unbelievable groomer just moved 7 hours away - and I almost followed her!

| I just noticed you live in Maine - which part??? That's where my awesome groomer moved to! Houlston (up near the Canadian border!)
She's going to be opening a grooming salon up there soon! Kristen |
| I dont live near Houlton..... my sister used to... (so did i as a kid) thats about 5 hours from here... Too bad though!!! The girl at Petco did a pretty good job, we had to rush her though since we needed him in 2 hours and it usually takes 4... I'd pay for just the bath though!!! He is one hard pup to bathe!!!
I agree about the lazy groomers, and I did think thats what I was paying for..... They have special prices per dog and I though they had taken into consideration that OES have long hair..... Ah well. Liz |
| Hi,
I've had several groomers in the last 13 years of my OES's life and I've only found 2 that I absolutely loved. My dog actually resisted going to all of these other groomers for a second time except for the 2 people that I adored. I would agree with BritPresSyd that most groomers do not like to groom OES's. I was fortunate that even up to the end of my dog's life, that this one particular groomer didn't mind grooming my dog at all and was incredibly kind to him. I always make sure that I tipped well too which I think always goes a long way. I also did try to brush out my dog the night before we went to the groomer so his coat was easier to handle. I would say if you're happy with Petco stick with them, if not please keep searching for a perfect grooming match for your pup. |
