*This only constitutes a small but popular part of what we do. It is also the more glorified part of pet grooming. It is not our primary function. It forms the last “finishing” stage of the whole grooming process. Don’t be fooled, grooming dogs and cats are not like playing with puppies or kittens all day. It is hard work and can be very dangerous. Reputable groomers will inform you of any behavioral problems your pets might exhibit , and some may even refuse to groom them all together.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
