At The Rolling Bone Grooming Studio, continuing education is part of my commitment to providing exceptional care for your dog. I recently completed the Skin Assessment Certificate Course at the Groom Expo in Hershey, PA, taught by veterinarian Dr. Cliff Faver. This coursework focused on coat science, skin therapies, and grooming practices that support healthy skin and coats.
This experience has inspired my next step: in the coming months, I plan to begin the Certified Pet Aesthetician program through the Iv San Bernard USA Pet Skin Academy. This advanced training will deepen my knowledge of skin and coat care and help me bring more individualized services to the dogs entrusted to me, with the goal of optimizing their dermatological wellness.
Every dog's needs are different. Bacterial and fungal infections, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune diseases, allergies and more can wreak havoc on a dog's skin and coat. Mastering effective, veterinarian-approved skin and coat therapies to address common issues like dryness, irritation, itching, and coat loss or damage, using proper techniques and products, is aligned with the gentle, one-on-one care that defines The Rolling Bone. Promoting healthy skin helps dogs develop a healthier, more beautiful coat, and helps them look and feel their very best!
Stay tuned for updates, and by all means, if your dog is experiencing skin and coat problems, please do not hesitate to reach out.
All my best,
Abby Clark
