I called the groomer today and I actually got to talk to one of the owners who is the one that groomed Finnigan this last time. He remembered Finn right away being the only Cardi they get in there and he adores Finn. I described the problem and he said it sounds like it is from the brushing. He said they use two brushes on him since he has so much fur and sheds so much, one is a rake and the other some kind of a finer comb (not positive what he was talking about) and working on him for so long…

He said they use two brushes on him since he has so much fur and sheds so much, one is a rake and the other some kind of a finer comb (not positive what he was talking about) and working on him for so long with the brushes probably caused irritation. I asked about shampoo and conditioner and he said they use wonderful organic, hypoallergenic products and he's never heard of them causing burns or irritation but he can switch him to an oatmeal wash just in case but would like to stick with the deshedding conditioner they used on him. As far as the brushing goes he said they may want to brush him in segments; use one tool during the first visit then come back the next week to use the other that way he's not being brushed for extended periods of time. He was really nice about it and I assured him that I like his company and would like to keep coming but wanted to be sure that we can eliminate the cause of Finn's scabs. I think he understood.

Agreed. But I can say some of the "inexperienced" groomers are actually better than some veterans. I take time to watch the groomers through the window at PetSmart. I watch for how they treat the animals. Are they rough with the dogs and puppies? Do they seem uncaring of the nervousness of the pups or do they take their time? After I've watched a while, I can usually make a smart decision on who to use. (That's one of the good things about having the grooming very public!)

Just a regular folding table or is it meant for grooming? I'd like it to have the arm with the leash on it just in case he decides to kamikaze off the table. :)

You're right, allergies can cause skin problems but in this case I know it was a result of something that was done at the groomer's. As I said, this has happened to him twice in his life and both times were after being at the groomer's.
