Rec your dog groomer

[Deleted]

I took betty to get groomed today and I'm not happy with what they did. She's fine, but they didn't do what I had asked for.

I willing to go anywhere in the Seattle metro area. Plus if the groomer grinds down the nails instead of just clipping.

Any recs?

what exactly do you want to have done? I do Tuxedo myself, and depending on what you want, I could do it

I wanted most of her length kept, but just trimmed. And I really wanted them to keep the little "terrier hairs" by her eyes, but just trim them a tiny bit so that she didn't get poked in the eye. They didn't do either.

I might be able to give her a trim, but I don't trust myself clipping her nails.

UW, have you tried a dremmel? I don't use clippers on my dogs because I've cut the quick one too many times. The dremmel is way easier, and as long as you introduce it slowly, so much better, in my opinion. Clippers tend to leave pretty rough edges, where as the dremmel gets them nice and smooth. Not such an issue with our 13 lb labradoodle, but with the 45 lb lab we need those nails as smooth as we can get so she doesn't gouge our wood floors!

I don't trust myself to touch her nails at all. I've had a few friends tell me that they use a dremmel on their dogs, but I really don't trust myself.

The groomer yesterday didn't grind down her nails and her cut nails are really sharp today.
