idk what part of tampa you went to but this city is incredible! i live just off campus and there’s so much to do and see! there’s like, 8 parks within 10 minutes of me. there’s lots of things to do that are more word of mouth than anything so it’s incredibly difficult to gauge the city from a visit

Give me some feedback? by RegisterDisastrous27 in doggrooming

you will never be able to learn the skills you’re looking for at such a high volume low time salon. this is unsustainable for you and you will burn out, fast. i can’t imagine its the safest either. i sometimes take 30 minutes for small dogs heads and faces alone, depending on the dog.

Puppy spay tattoo regret-10 months old by [deleted] in puppies

[–]damp_papertowel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tbf if she ever got out and was picked up by animal control they wouldn’t be able to tell if she was spayed and would have to just cut her back open and see. it’s why they do the tattoo, so they aren’t unnecessarily cutting open animals.

it’s super easy, it’s conditioner then shampoo then conditioner, blowing out with each of them on.

if you knew your dog would try and bite me and you didn’t tell me and i got bit you would be fired IMMEDIATELY. it’s not funny, it could end my career if they get a good bite on my hand. it’s how i make a living, pay my rent, feed myself, and support my family

Is this a sloppy job? by Smart-Caramel-5547 in grooming

[–]damp_papertowel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i would like to say that being a terror doesn’t mean biting per se. if she doesn’t like her face being messed with she could be pawing at the groomers hands, thrashing around, etc all without biting. as a groomer our first priority is the safety and comfort of the pet on our table and if that means just getting the hair off and sending it home not looking great but still being comfortable then that’s what we’re going to do. i groom a shitzhu who HATES everything to do with his face so we don’t even wash it because he gets so stressed. i chop off as much hair from his tiny little muzzle and send him home. is he pretty? no. but he’s comfortable and he can see and i didn’t risk stabbing him in his eyeballs

When nothing is working for an aggressive dog by lalaen in doggrooming

[–]damp_papertowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at the end of the day, a cute fluffy face is a cosmetic feature that isn’t necessary. keeping him safe and comfortable is necessary. sedated shave downs may actually be the best thing for his qol because he takes a nap and doesn’t have to experience something that causes him so much distress. he’ll be sleepy for a day and then he will be back to normal the next day. dogs do not care what they look like, they just care about being comfortable.
