Dog Groomers work with pet owners to clean and style their pets for hygienic and aesthetic reasons. Sessions may be routine, such as a dog coming in for a monthly bath, blow dry and nail clipping. Groomers may also be called upon to ensure a dog is in tip-top shape prior to a photoshoot or dog show. Sometimes Dog Groomers have to dig a little deeper to ensure their furry clients are well taken care of. Trained Dog Groomers know to look for skin conditions and signs of infection. They can recognize symptoms of more complicated issues that may require the attention of a veterinarian. Other challenges, like removing fleas and expressing anal glands, can likely be tackled on-site.
