Looking for Something Different for Your Furry Friend?
What Exactly Does a Pet Stylist Do?
A pet stylist, also known as a pet groomer, is someone that maintains the appearance of animals. Dog owners regularly use their services more than any other pet owners, however, cats can often require their services. Pet stylists will work on a pets fur, nails, and ears in order to keep them looking as neat and clean.
One of their more common tasks is to cut and style pets’ fur. Long-haired pets will need more regular trimmings in order to keep their fur manageable, in addition, to prevent excessive shedding. The likes of electric clippers are used to cut hair, so a stylist needs to know how to properly use them so they do not injure a pet during the cutting process. Some pet owners even visit a professional to have their pet’s fur styled in some novelty fashion or the latest trend is to temporarily dye their hair.
Pet stylists are trained to cut pets nails. As overgrown nails can put a pet at risk of not just scratching people, but them being snagged and getting ripped off, which can result in infections. Pet owners are not always comfortable cutting their pets’ nails, especially when they do not have the right equipment or knowledge. A pet stylist can be hired to trim a pet’s nails safely and is experienced enough to cut them even when a pet does not keep still.
Another standard job for pet stylists is cleaning animal’s ears. They will remove any dirt or debris from within the pet’s ears, which most pet owners do not have the skills or patience to do. Stylists can also be trained to check for any injuries or infections within the pets’ ears and will often recommend to pet owners that they speak with a veterinarian if any symptoms are found.
