Some recently groomed dogs before / afters! See the "Samples of my work" page for more!


Top Ten Reasons why it costs more to get your dog groomed than your own hair cut!
1. Your hairdresser doesn't wash and clean your rear end, or clean out your anal glands.
2. You don't go 8 weeks withouth washing or brushing your hair.
3. Your hairdresser doesn't give you a sanitary trim.
4. Your hairdresser doesn't clean your ears.
... 5. You sit still for your hairdresser.
6. Your hairdresser doesn't include a manicure or pedicure.
7. Your hairdresser only washes and cuts the hair on your head.
8. You don't bite or scratch your hairdresser.
9. Your hairdresser doesn't remove the boogies from your eyes.
10. The likelihood of you pooping on the hairdresser is pretty slim...
