Hi All! I’m a mobile groomer and would like some input from other groomers to know if I’m overreacting or not about a dog that was put on my schedule.
So I saw I had a lab/collie mix put on my schedule, bath and brush, no big deal. Then I look at the notes. “8 years old. The dog has NO VACCINATIONS.. First professional groom ever. Only had one bath in their life 5 years ago. Doesn’t leave the house or come in contact with other dogs. Will give 2 benadryl day of the appointment.”
I told my manager I don’t feel comfortable doing this dog. To me it just sounds like an absolute recipe for disaster but she didn’t seem to want to take my no for an answer. She’s never been a groomer before.
How would other groomers feel about this appointment? Am I overreacting?
