While some groomers groom all DOGS, others specialize in certain breeds. You may want to also ask if they groom cats, if you think that your bulldog will have a problem with cats. Next, ask if the groomer has any formal training. If there is more than one person doing the grooming at a particular facility, ask if the same person will groom your bulldog every time as well. Also, keep in mind that, in some places, DOG groomers are required to be licensed and certified in order to do certain procedures. Ask if each groomer you interview has these licenses when it applies. The official record for the heaviest dog was set way back in 1989. The dog in question was an English mastiff named Zorba.
