Deepdale Pets

But what is it that makes me 'qualified' you may ask. Well, I hold the City & Guilds 7750 Advanced Dog Grooming Certificate and I have been grooming for over 10 years. I ran my own successful grooming business for a number of years before taking a break to have a family. Upon returning to grooming I worked for a kennels, and then a local veterinary surgeons as their head groomer, before starting my own business again. I originally established The Grooming Room as I was becoming more despondent with the grooming services that were available to people and their pets within the immediate area.

The horror stories of dogs injured or needing the services of a veterinary surgeon after visiting their groomer appalled me. At the moment there is nothing to say that a groomer needs to be trained or have any qualifications - anybody can set up and class themselves as professional because they charge for their services.
