What Does a Dog Groomer Do?

A dog groomer, also called a pet groomer, pet stylist or professional groomer, gives dogs (and often cats) a full groom: bathing and drying, brushing and de-matting, clipper and scissor work to a breed or client style, nail trims and ear cleaning, while handling each pet safely and spotting skin or coat problems to refer to a vet.

Groomers work in independent salons, big-box stores such as PetSmart and Petco, franchise salons, mobile vans, boarding and daycare facilities and vet clinics, usually on commission, hourly pay or a mix, plus tips.
