Parker's Pooch Parlour

I'm a home-groomer with no formal training so I'm not familiar with grooming all breeds of dogs. However, over 30+ years of grooming my own dogs (currently 2 Australian Cobberdogs and an ageing Maltese X) I've tried and discarded a lot of products and equipment ~ wasting more money than I want my husband to know about in the process. These pages list my personal experience and my own opinion, so please don't send me nasty messages if you don't agree, thank you.
