Selecting a hairdresser isn't something people take
lightly - pet parents should take the same care selecting
a groomer. "Many don't realize that grooming is an
unregulated industry and you should take precautions,"
explains Taria Avery.
Look for a Knowledgeable Groomer - A Certified Groomer
will possess knowledge of animal anatomy and ailments,
and can bring potential concerns to your attention. Find a
groomer experienced with all breeds, temperaments and
special needs.
Select a Groomer with Whom You Can Have a Long-
Standing Relationship - The ideal groomer is respectful
of your time, shows concern and will discuss your pet's
wellbeing. Avery emphasizes that while certification is the
only benchmark, don't disqualify someone because they
aren't certified.
