WI Groomers are Essential
Grooming businesses can be open and maintain safety protocol just as banks, drive thru restaurants and others are doing now by accepting curbside only service. In this fashion there is little to no human contact.
Small businesses like groomers can operate safely by following existing public safety guidelines and should be allowed to do so.

Why is this important?
Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, groomers included.
We believe that providing grooming services is essential to the health and well being of our companion animals. Without proper and routine grooming care and hygiene which includes everything from bathing to nail clipping, gland expression, ear cleaning and more pets can be at risk for a number of negative health impacts including skin infections and coat issues, injuries from overgrown nails, impacted anal glands, and ear infections, just to name a few. Many pet parents are not capable and even fewer properly equipped to groom their pets at home.
Grooming services, from storefronts to mobile services, are not at all equivalent to human hair salons .
We are more than capable of meeting and exceeding existing safety measures to ensure the public health and stop the spread of Covid 19 while also providing needed services and keeping our small businesses alive. Please allow us to do so!
