As a new groomer, I had one favorite type of slicker brush. I used it on everything from tiny toy breeds to giant hairy breeds. It worked just fine, but with time and experience, I realized there were other options that might make my job easier. As tools go, slicker brushes are not expensive, so purchasing a variety of styles can be done without breaking the bank.
There is nothing that will bring a grooming client to you more urgently or more desperately than the smell of a client’s pet after it has been sprayed by a skunk. My grooming shop Love Fur Dogs, on the North Shore of Chicagoland, is located in one of the most heavily populated places in the nation for skunks around dogs. We have seen it all!
Mr. and Mrs. Nobrush drop their dog, Snippy, off for his first grooming session with you. You greet everyone, gather the leash and take him back for his spa session. A little while later, you take him from his crate to put him in the tub. You notice a few things once you secure him and begin to work.
