Grooming Advice We Now Know Better

Grooming Advice We Now Know Better

What were groomers taught that seemed like best practice at the time, but looks seriously questionable now? Chris Anthony and Mary Oquendo revisit the old habits that shaped grooming, from skipping protective gear and wearing the wrong shoes to pre-bath, dematting, avoiding conditioner, and using harsh ear-cleaning methods.They also unpack the “get ’er done” approach to handling, including forcing dogs into uncomfortable positions and treating grooming as an adversarial relationship instead of a partnership. The conversation moves through better communication with veterinarians, improved product education, and the industry’s slow shift toward safer handling and ergonomics. Above all, this episode asks groomers to recognize that going home in pain, skipping lunch, and expecting early career injuries should never have been considered normal.
