A question for the other dog owners here. How do you all feel about taking your dog to get groomed? I've always been a DIY kinda guy. I do his nails at home and he's content with getting sprayed down with the hose and a bit of oatmeal shampoo. But I can't deny some dogs seem to love getting professionally groomed, though. And cutting fur with clippers is something I don't do myself(I just brush him). You ever take your dog to one before?I'm not sure if I could ever trust my dog to be around strangers for a few hours, I worry too much. I've seen some bad results before. There's always a chance of a rookie groomer going too short on his nails. Or worse, I've heard some shitty people work at those places. My biggest fear is some dickhead taking my dog somewhere to the back like where they do the laundry or something and abusing him where no one can see. People like that deserve to have a hidden camera set up and exposed.Dog grooming always seemed like rich people stuff anyway. I could barely justify the price before, but now that shit better come with a happy ending otherwise it's hose baths from now on.
dogs are beasts and dont give a shit about grooming. you'll only need to groom them if their fut starts matting or you need to clip their nails
>>84605530True. I find a regular brushing does a good enough job and the nails are easy enough to learn.

>>84605626>>84605658I don't know what general from /soc/ you wandered in from but you forgot these
>>84605525I lived on a ranch when I was growing up and we had a couple heelers and we never even gave them a hose bath. They didn't seem to mind. Dogs clean themselves just fine.
>>84605863That's what I figured. Getting your dog groomed always seemed like it was more for the owner and not the dog. Like it appeals more to the people who own a dog despite hating fur everywhere and how they smell sometimes. Why own a dog at that point.
>>84605930>Why own a dog at that point.Cause I don't want my dog to smell like butt and ass and I'm too lazy to bathe her myself.
>>84605998I guess I kinda see your point but to me that smell is just how dogs are.
