Stolen from another groomer ..
I keep seeing people in local groups ask if there are any dog groomers who aren’t “crazy expensive.” And I totally get it. Money and finances are personal and important. But I want to gently reframe that question a bit.
What if instead of asking for a cheap groomer, we started asking if there are groomers who are trained, experienced, and continuing their education?
Because here’s something a lot of pet parents don’t know. Dog grooming is an unregulated industry. That means literally anyone can start grooming without any real training, certification, or knowledge about animal safety. (Isn't that scary?!)
Your dog is a living, breathing animal. One that moves while someone is working on them with sharp tools. Skill matters. Experience matters. Education matters.
There are some incredible groomers out there!
The ones doing it the right way.
They’re getting certified, investing in continued education, and going to trade shows and local classes. Some are even part of the Local Professional Pet Groomers Association, which means they’re holding themselves to a higher standard of care and professionalism.
Prices will always vary based on time, experience, and quality. And that’s okay. But when it comes to your dog’s safety and comfort, it’s worth considering more than just the cost.
It’s time we normalize asking things like:
•Are they experienced
•Have they invested in continued education?
•Is their salon clean and calm?
•Do they understand dog behavior and safe handling?
In the long run, choosing the right groomer isn’t about saving money.
It’s about making sure your pet is in the safest hands possible.
Not the cheapest price that may end up at a vet's clinic, Or worse!!

As a pet groomer this is an absolutely rude way to continue education
Don’t blast one single groomer that did something fun for their dog
This is gross and exactly why this industry is so negative

Grooming Gone Wrong Oh, we have been watching. We can see the desperate chase for recognition, the obsession with a trophy, the need to prove you’re the best, no matter the cost. This applies to a lot people out there. At first, you went for the real shows with cats, and yeah, that was impressive

When you adopt a puppy who needs regular grooming, I know you can be taken by surprise at the maintenance dogs needed. This guy wears a harness a lot and the friction makes the coat mat up quickly.
I enjoy helping clients learn the proper tools to use to maintain their dogs coat.
Educate your clients and they will appreciate and learn from you. This guys owner went out and bought the brushes I recommended and are more prepared to maintain his coat as it grows back.
