Today I get to a new clients house and they had a chow mix, a husky mix and a Corgi. The Corgi went like a breeze because the owners had maintained it really well.
The other two were a mess. I told the owner that technically they needed to be shaved. The undercoat was so thick and not really matted, but just thick as thistle. Its been colder than usual here so they didn't want that. So I pulled off two miracle grooms today. I told them I would have to charge them more than my original estimate. I bathed them really good and then worked in my quadruped leave in conditioner mixed at 4:1.
So I used my HV dryer, undercoat rake, and stiff slicker and went to town. Lets just say the inside of my trailer looks like the outside of the Pup Truck in Dumb and Dumber right now and I looked like a Sasquach (spelling ?). The owers were thrilled. Not only did they pay me my increased rate, but they gave me a fat tip on top of it. I told them they didn't have to do that, but they said they wanted to make sure I was taken care of since they are for sure going to use my services from here on out.
