Hello all!
I just made an appointment with the dog groomer. This is the first time, as we just adopted the dog about a month ago. (I am not an experienced dog owner.)
The way I understand this, they give him a bath, trim him, and trim his toenails. That all makes sense.
Then... they said something about purging his "anal glands". What the heck are they?!!! When I was young, our family had a dog and nobody ever did anything with anal glands. (If this is something that needs to be done.... who purges the anal glands of wolves in the wild?)
I think I'll go Google this one and see what I can find.
The groomer charges $75. That seemed a little high for a bath and a haircut, until I heard the part about the anal glands! Ha Ha!
Oh yeah.. one final question. He is a labradoodle with long hair with soft curls. The soft curls are kind of turning into a big frizzy ball. Any products I can/should use? Some kind of conditioner? Anything I can use between baths?
Thanks all!!
