| I dont want to put you off but ellie had a very bad experience at the groomers they choked her (they tied her up too tight whilst bathing her) and she ended up in the animal hospital for a week, but im sure it wont happen to murphy but ask if you can stay and ask what experience they have had with large breeds.

| we do ours in the back garden with a hose, only in warm weather tho, luckily we have a friend who owns a grooming salon so we are able to use her place when it's cold, it is a 3 man job to get them in the bath tho really the only grooming/trimming you need to do are cut the nails nice and short, and tidy up the loose hair around the feet and pads, other than that ready to go | |
