[nagdu] Grooming costs

[Nicole Torcolini]

Lexia gets a bath about every six to eight weeks. She needs it because she
starts to smell; otherwise, I probably would not do it that often. How often
you bathe your dog depends on a million factors, and there is no right time
period between baths, as long as your dog does not smell. About every other
time, someone is available to help me take Lexia to a do it yourself
groomer, so it is cheaper those times. When someone is not available, I have
a mobile groomer come, which runs about $100 give or take after the tip.
Yes, it is a lot, but, for me, it is worth not having to clean up the dog
hair if I bathed Lexia in my own shower. The mobile groomer also files
Lexia's nails and puts ear cleaner in her ears

My costs are nothing atll.  One thing I'd like to know is how you avoid the
bath? I have a black lab but i have to bath her every 3 months or so, as she
smells.
