I'm sure you will have much more luck than I did with Timmy, he hates being groomed and goes for you all the time, I felt awful and thought that the groomer would think I'd been neglecting him but I groom as much as I can until I get torn to pieces and then have to stop as he gets so worked up he's sick.

The groomer completely understood (Timmy has had a rough year doesn't like being pulled about) his situation and said they would give him breaks if needed to let him calm down so would probably take about 45 mins. An hour and a half later they still weren't finished as he kept going for them but had shaved his back legs and got loads of his undercoat out so had done really well, he was as good as gold having his claws clipped too. Unfortunately she had two dogs booked in and I had to collect him as he is terrified of dogs but have now made another appointment for him to go back and get his chest shaved as its matted and it'll be much quicker, less stressful and painful for him to have it shaved off.

My vet won't do it unless they're severely matted and I'm not going to let him get like that as its not fair. The groomer completely understands his situation and his very gentle with him so I think I'll have him shaved and go from there.
