| - Our first try with dog groomers. Never had the need for pet groomers until we adopted a couple of Mal-chi-doodles. Unfortunately, we have no other place to compare so I'm just gonna wing it! Our experience was first, uneventful... price-wise about the same as PetSmart... dog drop-off and pickup was pretty simple. Of course, we were caught off-guard with the 30-question barrage about dog grooming... how do you want them cut, do you want a teddy-bear face, etc, etc. Then, 2-hours later ...wa-lah... new dogs! ...Barking lot did a very good job that we didn't recognized our new pets. So, we grab them, paid our fare and left on our way laughing at the sight of the skinny dogs. Now, why just 3-stars??? Well, we thought our first pet grooming experience was "uneventful" ...until we all piled in the car. After driving a few miles down the road... with the dogs on our laps... Lo and behold, it happened... we were being attacked by fleas! Fleas everywhere... on the dog, in our laps, on our clothes ...and all over the car interior!!! ...yuk! Our dogs were flea-free before we took them to the lot.
I guess that is what is expected when you take dogs to the groomers... we'll find out next time we hit a pet groomer. For now... do we plastic-bag the dogs before taking them home from the groomers??? ...jk!
