cleaned or washed?
|

Hi everybody, I have a doubt, I �m not sure how to say " �Donde haces ba�ar a tu mascota?" is it Where do you have your pet washed? or Where do you have your pet cleaned? or is there another form to say that? Thanks a bunch (:

Usually the correct term when we get someone else to do it is: groomed.
Where do you get your dog/cat/pet groomed?
Then, you can ask:
How much do they charge to wash a dog?
Do they cut their nails?
How about clipping their fur?
etc...

Thank YOU guys... I love to help out when I can.
By the way... It �s not incorrect to say "I get my dog bathed/washed at Richard �s Dog Salon." or "Sally washed my dog for me."
It �s just that in the last few years there has been this crazy fad with pets and there are more people referring to it as - "grooming" their pets, taking them to "professional groomers", or going to see a "dog groomer".

And to add to Zora - when you groom a pet - they are washed, dried,brushed, styled, fluffed, pedicured , have their teeth cleaned - the whole package.
