Some of you might have seen Coronavirus Q&A on ITV tonight where the question was raised about whether dogs are able to be groomed.

The answer given was that salon groomers are non essential and should be closed which I am, but mobile groomers can operate as long as social distancing guidelines are adhered to.

This is not new information, it’s always been the case and it’s important to note that the information given in the answer was not wrong.

It has always formed part of the government guidelines that you can travel for the purpose of work where it is not possible to work from home.

The problem comes from the fact that although it’s legal to work, it’s just not viable to achieve the level of hygiene that would be required to eradicate any sign of the virus from the dog, the van, and the groomer.

There are many other reasons that mobile groomers should not be working including reasons relating to the safety of the dog during a ‘contact free’ handover, but for this one reason alone, taking in to account that they would be visiting multiple households and grooming multiple dogs, they cannot, in good conscience risk spreading the virus any further and sending it back in to your homes.

The current restrictions do not even allow me to visit my own family or anybody from another household, so I’m sorry, but they shouldn’t be risking visiting your household either.

Please, please keep following the government advice to;

STAY AT HOME 💙 PROTECT THE NHS 💙 SAVE LIVES

We’re all in this together.

Much love, as always 💜
