I always had a problem with groomers in FL leaving my dog sit in a kennel till it was convenient for them to groom him. One time I had an appointment at 10:00, and at five I went storming in there after being told all afternoon he wasn't ready. I was furious, as you could see all the owners of the little nervous dogs picking up their dogs. Mine had been made to wait because of his temperament. After that, I stopped at every mobile pet groomer truck in my neighborhood till one of them said sure, he would do a big hairy dog, no problem. Then we took in an old, arthritic big hairy dog who could never have been dropped off and made to wait. Our mobile groomer said sure, he would carry him out to the truck and let him lie on each side while being groomed.
What a blessing that man is. Each dog takes an hour, is slightly damp when done but is completely dry in another hour. You can bet I tip this groomer from heaven big time! His truck says Grooms to Go on it. He comes over from Ocala a couple days a week.
