I don't take my dog to a groomer because I'm afraid she would bite them. She has gone after people in the past and I'm just not that willing to take that chance again. She usually gets a bath every six weeks and I use a dog shampoo that has green tea extract in it as well as a conditioner and flea control.
No because he is too big (part shep and part lab), we have to bath him outside and it most times requires everyone getting wet along with my spouse holding him down as for some reason he hates water.
We bathe our dog ourselves. He is a Siberian Husky and has sensitive skin so usually I use a moisturizing shampoo. His coat is usually pretty short so there is no clipping to do the most I have to worry about is when he sheds his coat and then it's just a lot of brushing.
