Why Study Dog Grooming?
Dog grooming is a popular career choice for those wishing to work in canine and companion animal care. Employment prospects within the canine care industry are set to grow as demand for professional dog groomers increases.
A regularly groomed dog will feel comfortable and happy with a healthy looking coat. Consistent and regular grooming can prevent problems such as excessive shedding and painful mats. Additionally, it can help to recognise and locate other problems, for example, sores, fleas, lumps, cuts, rashes, bad teeth and even some diseases/conditions etc. that may otherwise go unnoticed.
This Ofqual regulated qualification will equip learners with an understanding of how to prepare, style and finish a variety of dog breeds.
