“It gets busier!” said Billy Bonze groomer, Aimee Trevino.

Today, the dogs are out from the dog house and inside with owners often during wintertime, and for that reason require more haircuts and hose-downs.

“The ones with all the cockleburs hanging off of ‘me then there’s more dirt than hair, said Trevino.
