4778.0. "NH groomer needed!" by JJLIET::JUDY (My body says yes but my mind says no) Tue Jul 09 1991 10:46

    
    	Does anyone have a recommendation for a groomer in the Nashua
    	or Raymond NH area?  I'm embarassed to say that we've let Chloe
    	go without brushing and she's all matted up.  We tried to take
    	care of it ourselves but she got very MAD (which isn't like her)
    	so we gave up.  I'd like to bring her to a groomer and have it
    	done.  Also, can someone give me a guesstimate as to how much
    	this might cost us?
    
    	Thanks!

4778.1Dogpatch, Nashua, NHDEMON::MURPHYTue Jul 09 1991 11:3414
    Dogpatch, Gilson Rd., Nashua (off 111) does both cats and dogs.  As
    to cost, it depends on just how badly matted  Chloe is and also,
    they'll probably have to shave the matted fur off if too painful to
    comb out. 
    
    I had to have one of mine done a long time ago when I first got her
    and she had to have her abdomen shaved down to the skin.  I was
    required to stay during the work and assist in holding her while
    groomer worked on her.  Everything was fine and no problems.  I highly
    recommend Dogpatch for cats or dogs in the Nashua area.
    
    Good luck.

    Write Barbara Ives off-line  (she's home today).  She takes her
    Ragdoll, Mocha, to an excellent groomer in the Nashua area.  He always
    looks gorgeous when he comes home and they are very good with cats. 
    Mocha is a brat to groom and they always say he is no problem at all
    (Barbara thinks they are talking about the wrong cat :^))!

4778.4Otis went to one in LeominsterICS::ANDERSON_MTue Jul 09 1991 15:2919
    I live in Leominster so I don't know anything about the Nashua area,
    but Otis was matted badly under one arm, under his chin and at the base
    of one leg.  Brought him to a groomer in Leominster and had him shaved
    everywhere except his tail and face.  He was a bit embarrassed (we had 
    to praise him and tell him constantly how handsome and beautiful he was) 
    but within two days he pranced around like he was God's gift to the
    world.  He was so much cooler and much more comfortable.
    
    He is due for another shave (next week) and I may make this a
    permanent thing.  They said he was wonderful and he loved all the
    attention while they groomed him.  They did not use a blow dryer
    on him - they would work on him for about 20 minutes, he would
    get fussy and they would put him in a playpen for a half hour or
    so...while he air dried.  Then take him out and work on him for another
    20 minutes or so. Then also clipped his nails.  It was an all day affair 
    and it cost me $38.00 - which was well worth it!

    I've taken my guys to Pet Health Spa in Merrimack and am VERY pleased
    with them.  Approx. $25.00 per cat but well worth it!!
