Taking a pregnant female to the groomer - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Molly is pregnant and I would like to have her trimmed down before she delivers. I have an appointment at the groomer for her and Murfee on Wednesday but I'm having second thoughts...not about Murf but Molly.

Am I taking unneccessary risks by taking her out to a groomer right now? She has all of her shots but I worry about exposing her to something. My groomer works from her home, she has 3 dogs of her own and of course others that are in and out for appointments. Would I be better off trimming her myself and not taking the chance?

I dont breed But i would do it myself. Why stress her & expose her to who knows what.

I do breed and I would do it myself if I was you. Your taking a risk by having her around other dogs. Even if they are all up to date. I let My female go outside and she had an allergic reaction to a bite she got while outside. She is 7 weeks along and I really couldn't give her anything without taking a risk of harming the pups she's carrying. So even in my own backyard something happened. Now Maggie is inside for the duration of her pregnancy.
