3Ok, but not the best  May 07, 2001
By Felix L. Martinez
The book has usefull information, for example the steps you should follow in washing your dog or cat, but is very vague in the cuts for specific breeds. This book is perfect as an introduction for a more complete guide to grooming pets.

3Not exactly what I wanted  Aug 20, 2002
By Lee Rowan
I was looking for a book to give grooming and clipping information that I could use on my mixed breed dog. This book does include some information on those subjects (maybe 20 pages on clipping) but not enough for me to feel comfortable clipping my dog.

The majority of this book (over 40 pages) is devoted to skin disorders and how to treat them. Perhaps this will be useful later but it was not really what I was looking for.

1Save your money  Nov 06, 2010
By Anne Wiser
Got a Shih Tzu and wanted to know how to groom him in order to save money. Learned nothing I didn't already know. No guidance on how to trim a Shih Tzu. So, threw it away and took Max to the groomer.

4General Health & Grooming for Pets  Aug 30, 2010
By Joy L Sayler
The book provides information on many of the various ailments that can aflict your pets and gives some general advice. It guided me to many of the issues of both of our dogs.
