About two weeks ago I decided that it was time for Jack to have a haircut. His hair was so unruly and long, he sort of looked like Chewbacca from Star Wars. My dad and I decided on taking him to Petco in Pasadena on Arroyo Parkway. We made this decision based on the fact that the last time when we decided to take him somewhere to get a haircut it was not a good experience. The people who worked at this certain place said Jack didn't stay still, didn't behave and that they needed extra people to hold him. Which was funny to me considering he is not a big dog. Plus they charged us 35 dollars more than the original price 64 dollars. Plus when I walked into this place I did not get a good feeling, it was very cold and technical. Jack didn't seem to like the groomer very much either. So thats why my dad and I decided that this time around we would not take him to the same place.
When I had walked into Petco I was received by a warm welcome from the manager. The grooming assistant gushed over Jack and gave him a dog treat. He took down all of Jack's information and set me up with an estimate, it was about 64 dollars. Then the groomer walked in and I showed him a picture of what kind of haircut for Jack I wanted. To get to know Jack's condition he sat down on the floor to look at Jack's coat and Jack instantly sat on his lap, which was a good sign. When I left I felt like I left Jack in good hands. When I came back Jack had the exact haircut I wanted and they had explained to me how friendly and behaved he was. I only paid the 64 dollars no surprise 35 dollars extra, plus the grooming assistant gave me a free bootle of "dog body spray" and he unwrapped a brand new red bandana for Jack. Jack is wearing the bandana in the picture above. When I look at that bandana it represents something more. It represents the friendly people at that Petco. I felt like they truly loved dogs. The next time Jack needs a haircut I will make sure to take him there again.
