✨ What to look for in a groomer! ✨ Please help me in my mission to raise the standards of pet care, by SHARING this post!

👏🏻 When pet owners know better, pet owners will demand better 👏🏻

It’s a pet care professional’s responsibility to educate, certify and insure themselves. The industry is unregulated and there is no one policing or watching groomers, and there are no requirements to enter a career in pet walking, boarding, daycare, training or grooming.

It is a pet owner’s responsibility to vet their pet’s care professionals, follow their advice, and stay on a humane grooming schedule so their dog is accustomed to the groomer, accustomed to the process, and does not develop any matting that can cause discomfort, pain and even injury.

Your groomer should be an expert on canine hair styles and techniques, but we know that humane and qualified handling, safe products and a clean environment are of more relevance than the hair style or styling techniques.

Please choose a groomer who is qualified and compassionate, over a groomer who delivers fabulous hair cuts but has no education in canine behaviour or handling.

You may have to commute far when you find the right groomer for you, and that’s ok. You chose a dog that needs hair cuts, and this is what that looks like. Monthly trips to a great groomer!

Know that being educated, and working with dogs from an up-to-date-scientific approach, is new age in the pet care industry. In the pet grooming industry, continuing education is more often limited to hair cut style and technique, with little to no emphasis on health, handling, cognition and behaviour.

Fortunately there are so many online and in-person courses, seminars, and certifications accessible to pet care professionals including groomers, so finding a groomer who is qualified and continues to engage in education is difficult but not impossible!

Everyone’s views of what humane treatment of an animal is, exist on a sliding scale - find pet care professionals who’s approach to working with your pets aligns with how you feel animals should be treated 🫶🏼
