Need to find a dog salon that will accept a 40kg+ dog, does anyone know of one?
We adopted a dog 2 years ago when she was six months old, and she has grown to be very large. She has anxiety although is not aggressive. Having just been to her regular salon for the fourth time, after having tried McGroomers whose fees were extortionate and took 4 hours, the owner who is a tiny lady has decided that she can no longer offer her services due to the anxiety and our dog's size. When an XXL dog who weighs approx. 40 kilos gets skittish and resists, it is tough going. My husband has also been a second pair of arms in the whole process but nonetheless to no avail, and it was the last session at this place.
The lady has said that she'd advise us to find a man, but couldn't provide any recommendations herself. So I have turned to the helpful people on this sub - would anyone know of a dog salon with male employees or one that would be comfortable with working with a very large dog who has anxiety (we think she is a Romanian Mioritic livestock guarding dog)?
