This is why I choose to groom my poodle myself. Well, that and it saves a lot of money in the long run. I've taken Gigi one to PetSmart to be groomed. For even the low price of $35, they did a just okay job. But I noticed that when we got home Gigi had a red dot on the white part of one of her eyes, like a blood vessel popped. She didn't have that before taking her in. It may have been just some irritating shampoo getting into her eyes, but it could have been something else. The last time I took her into another salon, they clipped her topknot way too low and flat over her eyes. I was a bit upset with that because I specifically asked them not to take too much off her topknot.
Like the saying goes: If you want something done right, do it yourself. It took me a while to learn to groom Gigi properly and it is time consuming, but at least she gets groomed like I like her to, and I don't have to worry about what is and isn't being done to her in a salon.
