Looking for a new groomer

Remus on Grooming - Sat, November 17 2007

I need to find a good groomer on the west side. The last time Remus went to the groomer was a disaster.
They buzzed all his hair off. After waiting 6 hours for them to call I decided to go get him even if he wasn’t done. When I got there he was up on the table and my heart broke when I saw him looking so scared with his beautiful coat lying on the floor. When we got home he didn’t move all night, just laid on the floor. Which leads me to believe they used a drug on him. This was back in June and I have been giving him baths at home but his hair is getting long again. He had such a bad cut it really needs to be shaped up. I’m looking for a groomer that is really good at styling. I’ll continue to give him baths at home.

I go to Arbor Lane Kennels. They are really good, and don't charge much. I've seen where they groom their dogs, they don't use drugs. The only bad thing about it, if they groom your dog (shampoo, nails trimmed, hair cut) it takes a about 10 hours (they get quite a lot of business, that's why), and they don't give your dogs food or water. : ( They do give them food and water if your boarding, though.
Hope this helps!-Daisy Mae

We're groomed at a place in Broad Ripple, that may be further than you want to drive though. It's all dogs, Zoey and I are usually the only cats. I enjoy bopping the dogs on the head who try to sniff me. Message mom if you want the info.

OMG! why would anyone shave a cav???? that is awful. that breed isn't supposed to be shaved! poor remus. maybe his behavior after he got home was more from being freaked out by being all nekkid, instead of drugs? i know it can be very traumatic to a dog if all their fur is shaved, many will hide and not come out for a few days! unless he was matted, there is no excuse for shaving him, plus, you should have at least been called BEFORE they did that, to see if it was ok with you. :(
