Brushing your pet’s coat is not only a great way to keep them looking good, it’s actually an essential part of managing their overall health and comfort.

If you’ve been researching a career in dog grooming, you’ve probably come across a few different terms — dog groomer, pet stylist, even master groomer. It can get confusing fast!
