@godswillservices Maybe talk to the owner about hiring a receptionist? Even if it’s just part time that would help a lot.

@flynn I’ve given discounts to people who can’t afford to have their matted dogs shaved. It’s worth calling around to ask. There is also the option to see if your vet can do it and then maybe you can get care credit and pay it off in increments. This is not the most ideal option but it does...

@ken4chirst Unfortunately you may have to ask the people you work with just because they probably have the number for a local sharpener. A lot of the folks who sharpen shears will also service clippers and blades as well. There is the option to mail your stuff out to be worked on, the downside...

@wharley Nooooooooo. If you get bit, that’s going to create a nightmare scenario for you, your boss and the dog and its owners. Plus you would be alone with the dog!!!

@ukuwiwev I say at least do the working interview. The main thing that might not make you a good match at this very moment is your speed. However if they like your grooms, they may be willing to work with you on that. Worst case scenario, you don’t get the job now but when you have a bit more...

@brileemoot You handled it correctly. If the dog did get pink eye in the salon (which I’ve never heard of before in the 15 years I’ve been in this industry but I’m no medical professional so what do I know), the owner waited 3 weeks to get it taken care of. At this point it’s impossible to say...

@redruthie7889 A 4 on the body and 5 on the legs is a weird request. Normally I would never take the legs shorter than the body because it just doesn’t look good. Obviously if a customer explicitly asked for it I would do it but it’s possible the groomer just took the 5 all over everything to...

@dvm0071 Artero makes the best alternative that I’ve found but it’s still not as good as the original CC. I’ve used a ton of slicker brushes but always go back to my Les Pooch and Chris Christensen. None of the dupes are every truly as good as much as I wish that they were. You sister will spend...

@devincamary Every time someone says “get the nails as short as possible,” an angel loses its wings.

@marysol Some groomers do amazing work with clippers. Personally, I avoid using them on the face as much as possible because try as I might, I just can’t get a nice blended look like I can with scissors. If she’s able to make her grooms look nice using a clipper in that way, good for her.

@gifford26 One spray I’m surprised I’ve gotten a lot of use out of is Scissor Stuff Scissoring Spray (say that 5 times fast). At first I wasn’t a huge fan because it just didn’t feel light enough to use as a proper scissoring spray. However, the directions on the bottle recommend spraying it...
