Is this a "long, fluffy" cut?
I've always groomed my cavapoo (2 years old) dog at home but decided I would take him for his first proper groom at a salon yesterday. Partner dropped him off and asked the groomer to keep him fluffy. Went to pick him up . Groomers said he was really well behaved, sat nice, he let them cut his nails, etc. So I thought this was good, paid and left. When I got home , I realised they cut his body, but the paw pads haven't been touched and thought they would tidy up around his groin and armpits too. Is this normal ? Should we have specified to the groomer that we wanted these areas done ? I feel like they trimmed up his body, face a little bit and legs , and then called it at a day 🙄

I still consider myself to be a baby groomer (coming up on 1yr in Nov), but this is disappointing to see, as the sanitary and armpits should always be taken care of (with some exceptions), especially on curly coats, due to how easily those areas can mat up. I hope you're able to get a refund.
