NCGI founder, Danelle German, recently visited her daughter in Williamsburg VA and went to work with her for the day. Danelle groomed one of Olivia’s client’s cats while Olivia groomed Danelle’s dogs. They decided to make a quick cat bath video demonstrating the use of the amazing Chubbs Bars shampoo. See comments for a photo of the final groom. #catbath #CFMG #badasscatgroomer #chubbsbars #catgrooming #virginia Learn more: https://nationalcatgroomers.com/product/the-bath/
