Did you know that pet grooming is a completely unregulated industry? There is no requirement for formal education, no required continuing education, and no required testing or certification?
Anyone and everyone can just pick up a pair of clippers and start advertising themselves as a groomer and charge people for a service they aren’t trained to perform.
It’s completely up to you, the owner, to do your research and make sure the person you are trusting with the health and safety of your pet is qualified to care for them.
Every groomer should be trained, and that very basic training takes months.
It takes years to truly master the ins and outs of grooming and everything that goes along with it.
Pet grooming is so much more than just a hair style.
*It’s knowing dog behavior and how to safely handle all the different personalities and quirks.
*It’s recognizing health conditions that would be better suited seeing a vet such as skin or ear infections.
*It’s being prepared for any and all emergencies that can happen, from seizures to allergic reactions, to nicks and cuts and quicked toenails without panicking.
*It’s knowing how to best deal with a variety of coat types properly.
*It’s being able to know when to stop a service on a particular dog due to behavior or health.
*It’s having the knowledge and patience to handle a different species while holding razor sharp clippers or 8 inch long scissors.
At the very least, the groomer you use should seek out continuing education to make sure they are current on the changes in the industry, from upgrades in products to tools that make the process easier for the pet and them.
They should be current on their pet cpr/first aid certification which needs repeated every couple of years.
They should be able to answer your grooming related questions with knowledge and confidence and if they don’t know the answer they should know where to find it.
They should have an emergency plan in place with a local veterinarian in case anything happens, because when working with animals it’s not a matter of if something happens, but when.
They should come recommended by other pet owners and pet professionals.
And it’s worth noting that there is nothing wrong with using a groomer that is still in training, but they should be working alongside an experienced groomer and under their direct supervision.
Ask the questions, after all you are paying them for a service. A groomer who has spent time and money to be as educated as possible is excited to share their knowledge!

Breed Spotlight.
The Cocker Spaniel .
The most popular of the Spaniel family, the Cocker Spaniel is an active, happy, small dog who quickly adapts to its surroundings. They are highly intelligent and effectionate, and in their element foraging around fields and hedgerows.
Cockers were recognised as a separate breed from field and Springer Spaniels soon after the formation of the Kennel Club in 1873.
They originated as the ( Cocking Spaniel ) and derived their name from flushing Woodcock.
As with a number of gundog breeds,there is a difference between those used for work and those used for show.
The show Cocker is a heavier, sturdier version of their working counterpart.
The Cocker Spaniels coat has a silky texture and comes in a variety of colours.
They are gentle, easy to train and enjoy plenty of exercise ❤️

Maintaining good oral care in dogs with Emmi Pet Ultrasonic Teeth Cleaning.
We attended a refresher training day at Canine Design Dog Grooming Academy.
Did you know that 80% of dogs over the age of 3 have some form of dental disease.
Poor dental hygiene can cause bacteria to enter the bloodstream and affect vital organs causing other health issues.
With Emmi Pet you can take precautions against.
⛔️ Periodontis
⛔️ Inflammation of the gums
⛔️ Formation of plaque and tartar
⛔️ Bad breath ( Halitosis)
⛔️ Chronic disease of the mouth cavity
The Emmi Pet is motionless, silent and non abrasive, making it easily accepted by the dogs.
Please note the Emmi Pet is used as a preventative rather than a curative tool.
Regular dental check ups at your vets are recommended by us.
We chose the Emmi Pet as its the original and the best Ultrasonic Teeth Cleaning system. Unlike other systems on the market, each dog has his / her own tooth brush head which in our opinion is more hygienic.
We offer this as a stand alone treatment followed by maintenance sessions.
Please feel free to give us a call on 01666 238010 if you have any questions.

Here at the Grooming Room we love to educate people about dogs! Did you know there are approximately 400 different breeds?
In the spirit of learning we are going to be hosting a fortnightly/ monthly breed focus. We will go over where the breed came from what it was used for and what it does today.
If you would like to see YOUR breed focus feel free to comment down below 👇
We will start with a breed close to Karinas heart ❤️
The Lurcher.
So what is a lurcher?
A Lurcher is not a breed of dog but is a type of hound that results from cross breeding a Sighthound with another type of working dog such as a Collie or Terrier. The Lurcher is unique to Ireland and Britain and has been with us a very long time. The development of the Lurcher as a ‘type’ of hound is thought to originate from the time when only Noblemen were permitted to own pure bred Sighthounds such as the Greyhound, Saluki, Deerhound, Whippet and Wolfhound. The punishment for a Commoner for possessing one of these types of hounds was death. So the Lurcher was born to fulfill the need for the Commoners and Poachers for a fast and efficient hunting companion.
Historically, Sighthounds (also known as Gazehounds), have been bred for coursing and racing; Salukis were the trusted companions of the Bedouin, who believed this gentle and sensitive canine is superior to all other animals and hence named it the 'Hound of God.' Funnily enough, Salukis share these beliefs.
Sighthounds have been known to reach an astonishing 50mph!
LURCHERS TODAY
Lurchers share many of the Greyhound’s traits. They are very affectionate, and love human company. They're also very, very clever – along with German Shepherds and Border Collies, Lurchers were used as messenger dogs in both World Wars.
Lurchers have recently become very popular as pets.
Lurchers come in all shapes and sizes from the small Whippet to the large Deerhound and all sizes in between. Their personality will depend on their particular “cross”.
Lurchers can have many different coat types and come in an array of colours.
With their magnificent and elegant snouts, and long, lithe bodies, they just ooze sophistication and charm. Then there are the Saluki's of course... with their perfect 70's eye-liner, feathers and aloofness, the Saluki really puts BIBA models to shame.
Contrary to popular belief, Lurchers do not need tonnes of exercise. Two 40 minute periods are fine, Greyhound will take even less (two 20 minute plods). All the more time for sleeping.
Did someone say sleeping? Give them a sofa or a bed and they're happy. Give them both and they are in Heaven.
