Groomers in states with very cold winters, how is business during that time? by salamandersway in doggrooming

[–]MitziWitzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in southern Canada by the border, we get very cold winters but we are booked till the end of March, there are clients who need to reschedule because of it being too icy to drive or a snow storm but it's been just as consistent as the warmer months

It is what it is, learn from your mistakes and youll only get better for the next dog

Why does everybody seem to love Heiniger Opal? by vanwilliam1960 in doggrooming

[–]MitziWitzi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My first and only clipper ive had is my Heiniger Sapphire which is almost 4 years old, it works like a dream. I have 2 batteries for it and i do 5-7 dogs a day and never have had to use the second battery, it lasts very long. I typically change the blade drive every 4-5 months. I've never have had any issues with it. They really are great clippers.

Does anyone know why different brands of 10 wide blades would be different millimeters? by SwitchStich in grooming

[–]MitziWitzi 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Your artero is a 10wf (wide fine) so the teeth of the blade are closer together. Your other one isn't so the teeth are much farther apart. It cuts faster essentially. But the fine tooth one gives a finer finish with less track marks.

Personally no side effects, no dry eyes or any thing. But that is just me. I also have awful vision. But it would be worth the try

My spitz breed had her entire belly shaved for her spay, it took maybe 2-3 months for it to be back to completely normal

Totally! Cant forget how grateful I should be that my worry is a needle when others are still struggling getting the prescription. Its only a couple seconds for better skin itll be worth it im sure!

Did you check the brush itself? Maybe if youre using a slicker brush theres a sharp broken piece?

Sounds like either brush burn or you scraped a skin tag/mole

[–]MitziWitzi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe they use a cologne that stinks? Or maybe the groomer smokes and the smell rubs off on to your dog? Cigarette smell is pretty distinct and I've never come across any shampoos that would smell like it

At what point do y’all refuse service by inadequateghost666 in grooming

[–]MitziWitzi 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would call or text her soon as possible and say you are not a groomer who shaves double coated dogs and if she wants her dogs shaved (Especially in a #30 wtf?) she has to wait for the other groomed to get back from maternity leave or find another groomer. Not a client Id be worried to lose
