Since Alex was actually off today (shocking I know!!) we decided to try something new! Rather than taking Simon to the groomers (which is $45 bucks) we thought we would try taking BOTH boys to City Dog Wash and do it ourselves! We always wash Ryder ourselves because he is fairly easy and doesn't require any trimming etc. Simon, on the other hand, needs his feet clipped, nails, ears and all over trimmed up. We have done it at home a few times and it takes a long time and it's pretty messy! I found this place online and it was great!
They have stainless steel wash tubs, which are great because NO bending and NO bachaches from washing dogs! They provide different shampoos, conditioners, towels, aprons etc. They also have a drying station that you can use that provides: clippers, a dryer, brushes, ear cleaner etc. It was $10 per dog to wash them and it was $5 to use the drying station. It took us about an hour and $25 to do both boys. They didn't enjoy it, butttttt mom and dad kind of liked it! Plus there are other benefits like: No separation anxiety, bonding experience, a fraction of the cost of grooming, THEY clean up the mess, no bending over the tub and no clogged drains at home!
This was Ryder's first time being blow dried, so the sound of the dryer scared him. They provided a handy little thing to help block out the sound and it really helped. He looks silly, but that's okay it helped us get the job done.
Hahahahaha Simon loves this can't you tell?!?
A very cute boy! Allllll finished!
Still not sure about this whole "mom and dad grooming him thing!"
Anddddd we were COVERED in hair once we were finished.....lol
Oh and a few battle wounds as well..... :o)
