Default Going to the groomers..

Going to take Kuma to the groomers for the first time..I'm actually nervous!! She's still scared of blow dryers. She's never been on a grooming table yet..the vet's table but that wasn't for very long...

She already familiar with the groomer which she adores..although I don't think she's met someone she hasn't adored....Did I mention I am nervous?...I hope she does well. Wish us luck!

Thank you ladies! She went to Petco. I take Wrigley to a less commercial groomer but Kuma alreadys knows the Petco groomer.

He said she was shaking when he used the blow dryer but that she did fine afterward. She looks great...better than when I groom her. He did condition her & used the oatmeal. I never asked about the rake or furminator. I'll ask him next time. What are your thoughts Ree? I have both, rake & furminator but haven't gotten around to using the Furminator yet.

Here's some pic's of her after. The quality isn't great. I through one in of her & wrigley playing.

She looks great Lange.

We took delivery of proper furminators a couple of months back, prior to using the official furminator I was using tools that I thought were great, until now........WOW is all i can say about it. Both the cats and Kato are brushed with their furminators now, and it takes little time or effort to pull out tonnes of dead hair

Glad things went well. She'll probably become less scared of the groomer after she goes a few times.

Love the pictures. She's so fluffy!
