Puppies will be 3 wks old on monday and Lola really needs to go to the groomers ASAP
Ive tried to keep up on the brushing but shes been laying alot with her puppies and she now has tons of matting and i did trim and cut the hair around her boobs so the puppies could feed.
Im thinking tho that taking her to petsmart groomers that take 3 hours is to long to keep her and pups apart or is it?

Im going to try and find the mobile groomers , some one that will come here and she is their only priority, and its faster.
Should i wait a week longer or is this long enough? her coat is just getting worse every day . She is kept in a puppy cut and not the long maltese hair, but i tried clipping her myself right when we found out she was pregnant but the groomers didnt want to take her being its to stressful on a pregnant female.
so its been awhile since shes gone to get a real cut, my clipper cut didnt help her at all..lol she looked like a hacked up sheep.

also with the heat for the puppies i have a heater on them and she is getting really warm and i know she would feel much better with a shaved cut.

please anyone that knows how soon i can get her groomed i would appreciate it

After the puppies are weaned.

Please do not take momma dog anywhere while you still have the pups there. The chances of her coming back with some type of bacteria or illness are pretty great. Remember, the pups have very little immunity.

And please do not have someone come into your house to groom her. Momma dogs do not like or need the added stress of strangers. Much less strangers with sissors and clippers.

Deal with the matts on your own. Clip her yourself if you feel it is needed. Or rubber band her fur if that will help. Right now is not the time to be worried about keeping her groomed. You really need to think about keeping her warm, safe, comfortable and able to help take care of her pups uninterrupted.
