Taeko clips to a style according to the breed of the dog - we didn't even realise there are styles for various breeds - except poodles of course! She really cares about our dog to the extent that one day she walked up to our home with a little jacket, as the weather had turned cooler after she had clipped, and she was worried that Daisy would be cold. Unlike the mobile groomers we have used, she does keep Daisy for quite some time - up to 5 hours, so we plan for this now. Of course she may do it faster if you ask - we never have. We have been paying $60 over the last few years, for a mobile operator, but Taeko currently charges $45 for a clip and shampoo for Daisy who is a Maltese cross. Taeko will tell us if she notices anything amiss with Daisy, which is also useful. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

Approximate cost: $45 small breed
