Bella goes every six weeks. I bathe her and do her face and cut her toenails at the mid-point (3 weeks). I have only ever done Ripley myself.

In the past hubby and I groomed all of our poodles. We thought it would be a good idea to get Bella accustomed to a groomer since we aren't getting any younger and if the day should come when grooming her is too much of a handful. Ripley is easy as pie. I pop him in the kitchen sink for his bath and he stands still as a statue when I turn on the clippers.

No and No for Trevor and Andy. They groom themselves and hopefully are doing a good enough job.
