What Does a Dog Bather Do?

A dog bather, often posted as bather/brusher, pet bather or bathing technician, handles the first half of every groom: bathing and shampooing, blow-drying and high-velocity drying, brushing and de-shedding, nail trims, ear cleaning and simple tidy-ups.

It is the most common entry job at PetSmart, Petco and grooming franchises, and many bathers train into groomers on the job.
