After reading the list, a dog groomer beats a barber. Plus I can snap/bite?

    My groomer spends like 4 hours on my dog. She definitely under charges, because 4 hours with my hairdresser would cost thrice as much.

      Thinking of it that way makes me feel a little better about how much I pay to groom my dogs. I spend about $50 for my own haircut and it takes about half an hour. My dog takes about 4 hours to groom and I do not pay $200 for it (little closer to that number than I would prefer, but that groomer is worth her weight in gold dealing with my big fluff balls).

        Yeah my groomer is amazing. My dog is more than a handful, and he adores her. She does such a good job and takes so much time dealing with him.

        Sadly we’re moving soon so we’ll no longer be able to go to her. Been working on getting him accustomed to me doing stuff, and he’s gotten so much better over the years.

        He’s a rescue and he absolutely refused to even let anyone touch him behind his shoulders when we got him. Now I can even massage his back feet.

        Couple of weeks ago I managed to clip all his nails by myself for the first time. Absolutely magical. 😭

          Aw, it’s too bad your dog can’t keep the same groomer. Mine are in love with theirs as well.
