Chewy, the adorable 13-week-old Shih Tzu, had his first grooming experience with Brittney this week! Early grooming appointments are key, especially for breeds with higher grooming needs, to ensure a stress-free experience for years to come. Chewy's first session was all about keeping things simple and positive with lots of snuggles. He got a good brush out, bath and a tidy-up around those dreamy eyes! ✨🐾
