First Groominng

I have a 17 week old Maltipoo (Colton).  Is he old enough to be fully groomed? Can I take him to a groomer to have his coat shaved down to where he looks like a dog and not a cute little rag a muffin.

Answer:


If he has completed his vaccinations and his attitude and appetite are good then you can get him groomed anytime.  Most groomers prefer to introduce a puppy to grooming gradually so that he has a good experience while he learns how to be groomed comfortably.  Most groomers would not 
"shave down" a  puppy on the first visit.
