Do you know the pet grooming industry?
The so-called pet grooming is not just about bathing the dog, but also refers to adding beauty through grooming products, trimming techniques and dyeing. The origin of pet grooming technology comes from poodles. The earliest poodles were originally used as bird hunting dogs. They had to shuttle in the woods and bushes, and their thick curly hair could easily get caught on branches, which was quite uncomfortable. Conveniently, in order to improve these problems, the owner specially cut its curly hair short, and gradually developed a variety of interesting shapes.

Europe developed in the 19th century. Based on the oil paintings of European ladies in the 18th century, the budding embodiment of pet grooming began to be discovered, giving full play to the characteristics and charm of the dog breed itself, creating standard shapes and reflecting beauty.

Pet grooming became popular in France in the 18th century. Faced with the colorful life in the palace, pet grooming was deeply loved by noble ladies, and in Louis XVI.
The poodle was designated as the national dog, and humans began to breed it carefully. Soon after, the small poodle was born, but its weight at that time was only nine kilograms. The earliest recorded beauty salon was established in 1820. It was most popular among these noble ladies to trim their dogs' hair, spray perfume, and wear jeweled necklaces. At that time, there was a small room in the Place de Versailles that initially used beauticians from Portugal and Spain. You could clearly see the noble ladies from all around. A woman uses a two-headed horse to transport her pet dog to be groomed. The luxury and beauty make people envious. Soon after, this group of duck hunters (groomers) settled in France and opened their own businesses. The era of bathing dogs came. The style of trimming at that time was similar to the current European style. The hair on the front half of the body was kept straight, and the back half of the body was cut short from the buttocks. I don’t know whether this style was accidental or a design. After trimming in this way, the VIP looked very much like a lion, so it was called in the UK. It is in the shape of lion hair, but it has been trimmed several times, and is very different from the original round shape. The poodle that has been trimmed in this way not only represents the image of the dog, but also the beauty and elegance produced by the modeling, like the charm of a living doll, which has won the love of many people and aroused interest in breeding. This is the origin of pet grooming.

Misunderstanding 1
The number of pet owners in major and medium-sized cities has increased dramatically, and professional pet beauticians have become a formal profession. However, this job is still very unfamiliar to many people, so people have some misunderstandings about pet beauticians, such as "This kind of job is very dangerous and can easily be injured by pet dogs", "This kind of job is very simple and only requires Just trimming the fur of pets is enough, there is no technique required” and so on.
Misunderstanding 1: "If you are not careful, pet groomers can easily be scratched or bitten by pet dogs." In fact, this situation will never happen. Because every pet beautician is required to quickly judge the health status of the pet dog within 10 minutes after receiving it. If the pet groomer thinks that the pet dog is uncomfortable or in bad condition, he will not forcefully groom the pet dog. Even for those pet dogs that are healthy and lively, the pet beautician will cultivate a relationship with the pet dog before the grooming, so that the pet dog can happily receive the grooming. For pet groomers to do this, they must have extensive knowledge of dogs and veterinary medicine. Know what kind of pet dog has what kind of "personality", what kind of performance indicates that the pet dog is unwell, etc. Pet dogs are very delicate and fragile. A little unintentional injury during beauty treatments may even kill them. So a pet beautician can be said to be another doctor for pet dogs.

"Grooming a pet dog means trimming, combing and cleaning the hair." The job of a pet beautician is not as simple as it seems. Grooming a pet dog usually takes 2 to 3 hours. Pet dogs that are not very obedient will take longer. Even some "uncooperative" pet dogs need 2 to 3 days. Being a pet beautician requires a certain amount of talent. Working with animals generally requires practitioners to have the talent to communicate with animals. Secondly, being a pet beautician requires practitioners to have a lot of patience. Pet dogs are very sensitive and can sense the subtle changes in the groomer's mood. If the pet beautician becomes impatient during the grooming process, the pet dog will feel it and quickly show it, becoming irritable and irritable, or even refusing to cooperate with the grooming and starting to cause trouble. Therefore, patience is the key to being a qualified pet beautician. For a qualified pet groomer, practice is more important than theoretical learning. Normally, if you can beautify two pet dogs a day, you can start the business in one year. With the development of the times, the quality of life of pets has been continuously improved as the living standards of their owners have improved, so the emerging industry of pet grooming has also emerged as the times require. When owning a dog becomes a fashion, pet owners also want their pets to be beautifully dressed. For this reason, batches of pet grooming training schools have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and "fake and inferior products are also emerging one after another. How to choose a good pet grooming training school that suits you has become a puzzle for most pet grooming enthusiasts."
