WHY IS PET GROOMING IMPORTANT? HOW DO WE GET TO A SANITATION LEVEL THAT PREVENTS

THESE RESULTS?

WHAT IS MOBILE GROOMING?

Mobile grooming delivers the grooming service in the comfort of our vans, at the

client’s requested destination, a house, an apartment or their place of employment.

Mobile grooming provides one-on-one service for the client’s pet.

This individual attention reduces the stressful environment, that a pet may

experience in a store front grooming salon.

This one-on-one individual attention allows our services to accommodate pets that

may provide a challenging experience for a groomer in a normal salon.

FIRST STEP TO DEMONSTRATING A SAFE WORKPLACE:

ENSURE THE EMPLOYEES ARE SAFE

Prior to the start of their shift ,employees will have their

temperature taken with a thermometer. If the temperature reads

lower than 100.4 they will be released to work. If the temperature

is above 100.4° they will be provided the employee

questionnaire. A fever is a body temperature of 100.4° degrees

fahrenheit/38 degrees celsius or higher. More information can be

NCOV/ABOUT/SYMPTOMS.HTML

COMMUNITY ADHERENCE

HOW DO THE CLIENTS COMMUNICATE THEY ARE SYMPTOM FREE?

Before arriving for the appointment, ask

clients how they are feeling.

Physically identify covid-19 symptoms,

such as cough or shortness of breath.

If the symptoms are apparent, we will

decline the service, and place the service

on a 14-day service hold.

• BEFORE ARRIVING TO THE APPOINTMENT, ASK CLIENTS HOW THEY

ARE FEELING.

• PRACTICE SAFE PROTOCOL WITH LEADS AND COLLARS.

• PRACTICE GOOD SOCIAL DISTANCING IN AND OUT OF THE

SALON.

• WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY BEFORE AND AFTER DEALING

WITH A CLIENT.

• SPRAY OR WIPE CLOTHING/APRONS WITH A DISINFECTANT

IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKING A PET FROM THE OWNER.

• WHILE FACE MASKS ARE NOT MANDATORY IN ALL SITUATIONS, IT

WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR GROOMERS TO WEAR THEM AND TO

REQUEST THEIR CLIENTS DO THE SAME.

• TRIAGE THE PETS, GIVING PRIORITY TO THE PETS IN THE MOST

NEED (PETS WITH CHRONIC SKIN AND/OR HEALTH ISSUES, HIGH-

MAINTENANCE PETS, PETS AT RISK FOR DEVELOPING HEALTH

PROBLEMS DUE TO THE LACK OF GROOMING).

• PLACE PETS DIRECTLY INTO THE TUB AND BATHE PRIOR TO GROOMING.

• CLEAN AND WIPE DOWN PENS, KEYBOARDS, TOUCHSCREENS, TABLES,

COUNTERS AND DOOR HANDLES.

• PAY ATTENTION TO LEADS AND COLLARS. IF THE CLIENT HAS A COLLAR AND

LEAD, PLACE IT IN A ZIP-LOCK BAG AND RETURN IT TO THE CLIENT UPON

RETRIEVAL OF THE PET. USE KENNEL LEADS AND DISINFECT THEM BETWEEN

PETS.

• USE NO-TOUCH PAYMENT SYSTEMS.

• LIMIT SERVICE TO PETS THAT REQUIRE TWO PEOPLE TO GROOM

• ALL CLIENTS MUST MAKE APPOINTMENTS,GIVING GROOMERS THE

OPPORTUNITY TO PROPERLY SANITIZE BETWEEN PETS.

• IN A DEFENSIVE MEASURE, TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTIONS AND ASSUME THAT

A CLIENT’S SANITATION METHODS ARE NOT AS DILIGENT AS THEY CLAIM.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR

ALL GROOMING LOCATIONS:

SANITATION PROCESS

At the beginning of the day: Clean, vacuum and sanitize the interior portion of the employee

assigned vans.

During the daily operation: Place pet directly in the tub. Spray or wipe clothing/aprons with a

disinfectant immediately after taking a pet from the owner. Towels are individually assigned to the

clients. Once a pet is finished with their service and back to the owner, vacuum tables, tub, floor and

storage cabinets. Clean and sanitize combs, brushes, grooming table, spray bottles, tub, vents, and

door handles.

End of the Day: Vacuum tables, tub, floor and storage cabinets. Clean and sanitize combs, brushes,

grooming table, spray bottles, tub, vents, and door handles. Place guards, combs, brushes and other

appropriare tools in the UV sterilizer.

FOLLOWING THESE PROTOCOLS WILLPROVIDE CLEAN, SAFE, AND HAPPY GROOMING PRACTICES

We all love our pets and want to do what is best for them. This includes the grooming process. Ideally, your pet should be groomed about once every 4 to 6 weeks in order to help their skin and coat stay clean and healthy. Don’t wait until it’s been nearly a year (or longer) to see to the needs of your beloved family pets!

The benefits of regular grooming: Regular grooming keeps the pet’s

skin and coat clean and healthy. Your pet has an opportunity to

become familiar with the groomer and accustomed to the grooming process.

Regular grooming will help prevent their coat from becoming matted and uncomfortable.

Keeping toenails trimmed helps prevent overgrowth which can become uncomfortable for the pet.

Your regular groomer is good at recognizing changes in your pet’s general condition and can advise you of issues that may require a visit to your veterinarian.

Grooming helps your pet look, smell and feel better.

How to Find a

Knowledgeable

Pet Groomer At CPPGA, we understand that pet owners are looking for compassionate, caring, and competent groomers for their pets. These professionals can be found in storefront salons, mobile grooming vans, or as house-call groomers.

Start by asking for referrals from your friends, family, and other professionals such as veterinarians, pet sitters, or pet trainers. Speaking with other pet owners in social locations, such as dog parks, may offer some insight on groomers in your area.

Other options may include groomer membership listings on voluntary association membership websites, such as ours, www.CPPGA.org

Why Choose a

Certified Groomer? T h e r e a r e se v e r a l na t i ona l organizations that certify pet groomers. The certification process entails rigorous written and practical examinations on safety, care, sanitation, and breed standards. A Certified Groomer has invested in their profession to be the best they can possibly be.

While not all groomers may choose to certify, membership in a professional organization shows a groomer’s concern for pets and their interest in continued education within the industry.

These organizations include National Dog Groomers Association of America (NDGAA), International Professional Groomers (IPG) , International Society of Canine Cosmetologists (ISCC) and the American Kennel Club S.A.F.E. Salon Program

PPGSA Standards of Care, Safety and Sanitation for Professional Pet Groomers and Stylists

Introduction

It should be the goal of every Pet Groomer and Stylist to treat all animals entrusted to their care with kindness, patience, respect and compassion, ensuring their safety, health and well-being.

Pet Groomers and Stylists should exhibit professional behavior and maintain their businesses with honesty and integrity toward their clients at all times while encouraging professionalism, compassion and participation in continuing education within the industry.

These standards of care, safety and sanitation were sourced, discussed and unanimously agreed upon by professional Pet Groomers and Stylists, grooming educators and national trade associations with decades of hands-on experience. They are a uniform set of standards to which all responsible Pet Groomers and Stylists should adhere, regardless of where and how they were trained.

They are not an attempt to govern or dictate style, methods or techniques (whether in general or breed-specific) beyond safety and sanitation practices. Nor do they include specific metrics, as these vary from breed to breed and situation to situation.

These standards were developed by the members of the Professional Pet Groomers and Stylists Alliance, a coalition of industry organizations whose members have combined to educate, train and certify tens of thousands of professional Pet Groomers and Stylists across the country.

While the PPGSA itself does not offer individual memberships or certifications, the member organizations of the PPGSA have uniformly agreed to incorporate these standards of care, safety and sanitation into their own education, training and certification programs. Therefore, anyone who is educated, trained or certified by any PPGSA member will have successfully completed a course of study that incorporates these standards.

Professional Pet

Groomers and Stylists Alliance

The Professional Pet Groomers and Stylists Alliance is an historic

collaboration by grooming and styling professionals. It is an effort by

groomers for groomers, pet owners and the pets themselves. Members

of the Alliance include the three major national dog grooming and

styling associations, two major national cat grooming and styling

associations, the major Canadian styling association, several state

groomer groups, a nationally-accredited grooming school, allied trade

common sense to paper” regarding the standards of care taught to

professional groomers. Its goal is to assure the uniformity of care and

safety standards taught by Alliance member organizations through

their certification and/or training programs AND to help educate pet

owners about the importance of care and safety standards when
