AboutKaren Brittan Expertise I have been showing miniature schnauzers in conformation, obedience, and earthdog for forty years, and am a professional dog groomer.
I am not a veterinarian and cannot answer questions of a veterinary nature. However, I can give my opinion or share some experiences on some health issues. If your dog is sick, it should be seen by a licensed professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Experience I have taught obedience classes and have taught people how to groom for many years.

Question hello,
I would just like to know if it is okay to take my dog to the groomers while she is on her heat cycle. she is a Malty poo and 8 months old.
thanks
Answer It should be okay, as long as you tell them in advance that she is in season. Personally, though, I would wait until she is done with her heat cycle since I never trust anyone else to be reliable with one of my dogs when it is something so important. Some people can be truly stupid and careless.
Since she is a mixed-breed, you really should consider having her spayed and save yourself a lot of hassle in the future.
