A typical day

Six to ten dogs a day. Each one: check in with the owner, brush out mats, bath, blow dry, nails, ears, then the clip and scissor work, then photos and pickup. A doodle with a matted coat can take two hours. A nervous dog can take longer. Cleanup between every animal. Saturdays are packed, Mondays are slow. You go home covered in hair.
