For a family member:
We are scouting dog groomers to find someone who can accommodate our shih tzu with a few special needs. She has a cleft palette so bathing her is a delicate process, hyperventilates when stressed, and gets freaked out by buzzers. Obviously we can make buzzers a possibility, but we need to find a groomer who is okay with someone she trusts nearby to calm her down.
If you know of anyone wonderful at this sort of thing, we don't mind a drive.. just a quick survey of who is kind/trusted so that we can make a determination. Thanks!
