Thanks for your help ,I've come across a few people who seem to of made their own rather than buy an actual grooming table

Has anyone experience with hydraulic grooming tables ? Good brands etc. thanks

Thanks have PM you.

One of my grooming customers has moved to the Lake Macquarie NSW area ,can anyone suggest a good groomer around that area ? They have a X Poodle .

Thanks for your input Shantiah and Crisovar , after running my own business for over 12 years I like being in control of what goes on. If this does happen I guess some longs talks are to occur .

This is purely hypothetical at this stage, just wanted to get some info from those who have knowledge on this subject.

I'm after any advice on starting up a grooming practice at a vets. I've only ever worked in salons or for myself and have no idea on how this arrangement would work. Would you supply all your equipment ,rates of pay and any pros or cons. Thanks.

My old poodle has been on this for years,once a day. I swapped to the liver chews instead of the powder as I found it easier to give,she takes it off my hand. Also with the powder some got left behind in the bowl,this way i know she is getting the whole amount.

Is there anything that can be done to help ? I'm sure she isn't aware of zoning out ,but it worries me.

I would often find my old Poodle Rocky frozen to the spot from time to time,he would be just standing in a room or whatever and would only move if he was distracted by a loud noise or a touch. Some days he did it multipul times others not at all. My now 14 yr old Poodle is starting to do the same thing ,though not to the same degree yet .Both dogs were/are almost blind and almost deaf .Anyone else seen this in a dog or have any thoughts. Rocky was a healthy 15 yr old until the day he suddenly had a huge seizer and had to be PTS. Shanania is a active dog for her age and in good health,just some arthritis problems.

My males have always been on the thin side compared to my girl . My old boy Rocky never really filled out till he was about 3 or 4 years,but he was never fat 8-9 kg. D'Argo currently 3 and about 15 inches weighs around 8-9kg ,he eats well but he feels thin under the hair. Shanania has always had a weight problem only has to look at food and on goes the weight,typical girl.She is usually around 10kg but has been more ,she is desexed so may make a difference ,the boys weren't.

Can't compare to Royal Canin never used it ,but I and my dogs love Nutro. They are on the sensitive formula ,my old girl who has always had skin issues is doing really well on it.No hotspots,chewing and licking like before and to boost they love it. They have been on it since early this year.

Have to agree with Clyde there,dog grooming is not easy.To do it properly takes time and time equals money.

Pegasus I asume you still require a vac. for kennel cough for the boarding kennel ?
