Dog Groomer

Nature & Environment

Dog groomers and dog hairdressers take care of the fur and claws as well as ear and dental hygiene of four-legged friends. Dog breeds have different requirements when it comes to coat care. The coat can become matted, knotted, grow into the eyes or cause inflammation in the ears. The work serves both the health and the beauty of the animals. Sometimes cats, long-haired rabbits or guinea pigs are also brought in for grooming. They carry out the following activities:
