kiki Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hi, I have 2 dogs that need grooming... 1 Japanese spitz, just want a general wash and a good brush. She has a few mats that might need cutting out, and also her ears,face washed etc... 1 Miniature Schnauzer, needs a clip and maybe a wash I would prefer someone who has some experience with clipping a schnauzer Prefer south of the river, but don't mind travelling if there's someone good Thanks!

~*Shell*~ Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Some groomers will insist on a wash if they're going to clip your dog - clipping a dog with a dirty coat blunts the clipper blades and I don't know about other people, but i use both clippers and scissors on the schnauzer I clip.

I didn't say she would be dirty, I am able to bath her beforehand. Why do you assume she is dirty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k9kutz Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I dog does not need to be "filthy" to be considered dirty to a groomer. Just a few days worth of natural coat oil, dander and dust is enough to make clipping difficult and prevent the groomer attaining a perfect finish. So thats why i always insisit on washing everydog that comes through my place. As soon as owners find out its no cheaper to skip the bath then they are more than happy to let me wash it. So not dirty Kiki in that sense just not freshly bather, groomers tend to blowdry out better as well to get a nicer finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh...now I understand better I just thought maybe a bathe on top of the clip may double the price. But the way you explain it I can see it makes sense for the groomer to bathe them beforehand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
