I have 2 female shihtzus they are both quite young arond 9 months. The older one however hates being groomed it is impossible, but being a shihtzu she cant reallY not get groomed.

her first cut was just around her face, by our vet and the vet told us she couldnt handle her, as she just squirms so much so we coudnt take her back, about 4 months ago we took her to a groomers for a full cut, it took the 6 hours to cut her, and even then she wasnt much shorter, and had large clumps of fur still around her.

even when we shower her shes a nightmare and we have to try cut around her eyes ourselves she just wont stay still

Can anyone reccomened a groomer that may be able to handle her, obv i dont want a young groomer trying to tackle her or even getting annoyed with my dog as I was worried sick last time when she was in for that long.

thanks!

Hello just get your gillette out and give it a good once over

The big pet shop in Chalong are good always look busy with dogs getting groomed. so they must be good at it. When we go in theres always loads of fluffy dogs getting done there.

Are there low risk, natural sedatives available? Maybe you should inquire on the animal forum about that aspect. There must be a method to dealing with high strung nervous critters.
