Groomers

[~Anne~]

I know this is a bit like the 'how long is a piece of string' thing, but as a rough estimate, how much would it cost to have 3 Pugs groomed every fortnight, on an ongoing basis, by a mobile groomer or a groomer who picks up and delivers?

I will also obviously ask a local groomer this question, but I thought I would ask here in the mean time. If it is way to expensive, then I won't bother the local with the question.

They would be basic $20/dog (so $60 to do all 3) if they would come randomly, but if regular and consistant then $50 - but that my prices

Wow, that is very reasonable. When a groomer grooms a short haired dog, do they brush them as well?

The main idea of having them groomed is to try and cut down on the amount of hair in my house. I usually wash them every week or fortnight myself, but it is time consuming and then I have to brush them all to try and rid them of their loose hair. It drives me spare!

They are very used to being bathed and are easy to bath. The brushing is not so easy though as they don't like to stand still. The brushing gets them all hyped up usually.

I use a Chamois, bristle or Rubber Curry.. Cant really see the point when someone uses a slicker on a smooth coat.

But the dryer also helps blow out the dead coat.

If you wanna do it at home get a good Barrel Dryer (pressure switch or knob to adjust the air force) with a pointed Nozzle blow them dry and use a damp Chamois, works for us with my Terrier x

I am at the stage where I would ratherpay someone to groom them fortnightly rathr than do it myself anymore. Any recommendations for groomers on the Sth Coast?

I charged $30 for pugs. As you have 3 there would have been some sort of discount.
