They are live breathing creatures anything can happen, they pee, they poop and all this has to be cleaned up sometimes started over, we don't care we love animals. This time it might not be your pet holding up the works, but next time it might, all I'm saying is cut them some slack, or learn how to do it yourself.
I don't consider taking five to seven hours to groom a golden cut-slack-worthy! Three at the most. I once asked a groomer near me how to have my dog done in three hours or less, and they said make sure you are the first appointment. That was 7:30 in the morning, the normal time my golden gets up. This says to me that they know right off the bat they'd would get backed up, which suggests overbooking. At any rate, we did do the 7:30, but I was not satisfied with the job they did on this big dog.

If my mobile groomer can show up on time, get the job done in an hour, and they're completely, bone dry in two hours start to finish, why can't the grooming parlors? I have to think it's a scheduling problem.

I'm so glad I found this gentleman. Big problem solved for me.
