The purpose of the role is to complete an end-to-end maintenance groom on a range of dog breeds and coat types. Grooms include assessing the health, bathing, drying, brushing and trimming a diverse range of dogs. Dog groomers will use their breed knowledge to produce a grooming plan and select appropriate techniques to handle, bath, dry, brush and trim. Nail trimming will also be carried out.

A dog groomer will have responsibility for meeting the dog’s welfare needs during grooming. They will adapt their approach and handling techniques. They select equipment and products to meet the needs of the specific dog. The dog groomer will understand canine behaviour. In addition, the dog groomer will provide customer service and advice from the point of drop off through to collection.
