I've never once taken any of my animals to a grooming salon. I guess I've just never felt the need to (with the exception of my RB cat Sara, whose fur would constantly mat -- but she would have scratched the groomers face off, so we couldn't take her in).

All of my animals are groomed by me, and I get paid to groom other people's dogs and cats.

But I am going to be a dog groomer, so I guess you could say that my animals will be "groomed professionally."
