I groom my own dogs. The bad thing about that? It looks like I groom my own dogs. If you want your dogs to look the way they should look, it takes a lot of practice and a lot of equipment, which can be costly. On top of that, if you don’t care for your tools properly, it can be even more expensive. I burned out a two hundred dollar pair of clippers because I didn’t know you were supposed to oil them and clean them as you worked. I also damaged an expensive blade because I didn’t wash my dog first and the blade got very dull. If you think this sounds like a lot of effort when you can just take a trip to the groomer’s, you’re right. In fact, I only started doing my own grooming because my Sarah had separation anxiety, social anxiety disorder and panic attacks when she saw a stranger (or a frog, or a broom, or…)

Finding an dog grooming expert in your area is pretty simple with the new Spock directory. I love the fact that the directory is built by everday people. Anyone who signs up for spock.com and tags him or herself as a dog groomer shows up in your search. So, you can find all of the dog groomers in the directory and then look for one in your area. Once you make a choice, check the groomer’s profile for more information, such as which business they groom for.

By the way, I decided to try Spock out myself, although I don’t plan to tag myself as a dog groomer, of course. Sign up is really easy, but I am still waiting for the confirmation email so I can start tagging myself. I assume it is delayed because I am signing up on a Sunday.
