You?ve been there before. Client comes into your shop and is trying to explain away some problem with their dog that usually boils down to they weren?t taking time to brush their dog, etc. No shade, that?s why we as groomers are here to help!

Why would you try to lie to a professional? ~We see through your lies~ LOL. We know the amount of time it takes for your dog to become severely matted. But it?s okay because pet parents will never stop lying. We are just here to take care of their furbabies and put good vibes into the world.
