Dog Grooming is Essential
List dog grooming as being an essential business that should be open!
Why is this important?
Dogs need grooming! As groomers we do more than just make the dog look pretty. We are the first to notice skin conditions fleas hotspots ticks matting fatty tumors warts and ear infections while we are grooming your dog. So saying that dog grooming is not an essential is absolutely ludicrous. Per the ASPCA and many veterinarians along with PetMD dog grooming is an essential. It is also a trade business that should be open as long as the grooming salons are practicing social distancing with protection of masks. We need to be open we need to be considered an essential not just to the people but to the pets who have no voice!
