Help support us to lobby Ni executive to make changes that dog grooming be an essential service as part of animal welfare.

Regular dog grooming is essential for an animals health and welfare, pet owners cannot always attend to there pets grooming as they do not have the specialist training or equiptment required to carry out grooming and therefore reply on professional groomers to provide these services on an ongoing basis. 

Dog grooming is more than just a simple bath and trim for aesthetic purposes:

Grooming aids removal of dead hair and skin and prevents and removes knots and tangles which can cause skin problems and are uncomfortable for pets.

Severe matting can cut off blood supply to extremities and deny air circulation to the skin.

Groomers carry out a health check and parasitic check whilst grooming and this can aid alerting owners to problems which can be life threatening which they may not be aware of and aids owners in gaining prompt veterinary treatment to prevent conditions becoming worst and animals suffering.

Groomers also carry out nail clipping which prevents overgrown toenails, ingrown nails and nail bed infections.

Groomers also carry out ear cleaning and care and this aids prevention of ear infections.

Pet grooming promotes good circulation which keeps grease levels down which can block pores and cause cysts.

Many pets require professional grooming which pet owners cannot attend to due to its specialist nature anything from every 3-6 weeks to prevent problems and ni executive not allowing groomers to open throughout lockdown periods is causing animals welfare to suffer!
