The Hangover - Christmas Edition
The holiday hangover is real, relentless, and if we’re honest… a bit of a cold-hearted b*tch! But with our big-girl pants on, let’s dive into why the feels are hitting like a rogue mat in a fluffy coat: it’s not you—it’s January.
Human Connection
Dog Groomers' schedules don't always allow for deep, meaningful conversations, but there are still small, impactful ways we can boost our human connections throughout the day.
How to Avoid Anxiety Transferrance when you are Grooming
The ‘Anxiety’ album includes hit tracks from bands such as the German Shepherds, the Border Collies and the Labrador Retrievers.
A Groomers Guide to Healthy Snacking
When your clipper battery starts dying, you recharge it. But the workhorse behind your clippers often gets overlooked - the groomer! It’s just as important to keep your body fueled as it is the tools in your arsenal, if not more.
Pet Grooming and Hair Splinters
Not only are hair splinters painful (you will normally feel them before you see them), but they can result in infection which can then trigger an immune response from the body.
Grooming Dogs that are having Chemotherapy
When grooming these dogs, it's important to take extra precautions because chemotherapy can weaken a dog's immune system and make them more susceptible to infections and other health issues.
Compassion Fatigue
There are many reasons why people become dog groomers. Money, flexibility, opportunity, environment, but there is one thing most will ultimately have in common: they want to help dogs.
Work Life Balance
“It must be so much fun playing with dogs all day!” - said everyone who isn’t in the industry.
Coping with Anxiety
Many groomers will often take home conflict from a staff member or client. We also deal with difficult animal welfare situations and a host of other daily stresses.
“In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.”
