What is creative grooming?

It is a form of creative expression in which the animal is the canvas. What it represents is determined by the groomer. For some, it is a touch of elegance. For others, it is a drastic transformation. It may involve bright and bold colors, softer pastels, or even no color at all.
As beautiful as the grooms may be though, the animal's comfort should never be sacrificed for the sake of a groom. The animals with which we work deserve nothing but love, respect, and patience and should always be treated as such. Afterall, none of this would not be possible without them.
It is also important to note that creative grooming is only to be performed by professional groomers, knowledgeable in both basic grooming and creative grooming techniques. While the animals are not harmed during these grooms, there are many different factors that must be understood and taken into account.
For this reason, pet owners should not attempt to achieve a creative groom on their own. If you are interested in having something extra done for your pet, talk to your groomer today about what options are available for you and your pet.


Remember, creative grooming isn't just for the competition ring. It's a great way to add a unique touch to client dogs.
