Question Posted Wednesday August 18 2010, 11:28 pm
My west highland terrier recently got groomed. I've noticed her nails look a little too short and her legs and paws look a little scratched or look like it was cut too close. I noticed they had teenagers working there. I know them, and neither are even semi interested in working as a dog groomer. Should I switch and go somewhere else? I was really disappointed with there service and I don't know if this happens to frequent at other places or their service has just gone down... Any advice or opinions is great, thanks.

My family's old dog was actually cut by one of the groomers, and because he snapped at them, they blackballed him. Overall, not good experiences with large chain groomers.
However, I went to a place owned by a woman who just loved dogs. She adores my dog and has always done a fantastic job. It costs a little more, but she grooms him exactly the way we want it. We've been incredibly impressed with her work, and the dog loves it there.
If you don't like how your dog is treated at one place, try looking around for independent groomers who love what they do. Your pup has the right to good treatment! [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
