Cheaper is NOT the way to go when it comes to your pets grooming, safety, and life. Always ensure your groomers are certified, trained, insured, AND a legitimate entity. 💕
✨️Things to ask your groomer!✨️
As I have mentioned before, the grooming industry is 🚫NOT🚫 regulated like the human cosmetology, barber, and esthetic industry.
What this means is that basically ANYONE can purchase tools from amazon, walmart, or wherever and call themselves a groomer and charge people for it...even though they have 0 training nor insurance.
There are NO formal licenses required for grooming!
There are, however, several accredited grooming schools and academys as well as apprenticeships that offer several week courses which include canine anatomy, in depth training of bathing and drying each different breeds coat, breed standard grooms, show grooms and much more.
Many of these require you to perfect bathing, conditioning and drying and have an understanding of canine anatomy before even touching sharp objects!
These are some of the major questions to ask when choosing a groomer!
❗️Don't just choose them because they are the cheapest!
❗️Don't just choose them because they have an immediate opening tomorrow.
You are handing over a living being 🐶 to someone who will be handling sharp objects around their faces, sanitary areas, etc.
Make sure your family's pet(s) is/are in safe, gentle and caring hands! 🫶
