    Pet Grooming as a CareerPet Grooming as a Career
    A pet grooming career can be an exciting vocation which offers adventure and profitability. A pet grooming vocation requires standards that even veterinarians and breeders do not have to follow. You will fill a very important niche in the pet market and will become an important person to the animals you serve as well as their owners. You will have to use hands on techniques towards the animals, and at the same time you'll have to observe their behaviors and physical traits. You will actually have to spend quality time with the animal.

    One of the skills of a pet grooming expert is to be able to look at the individual breed and determined what type of coat that pet might have. For example, the Labrador retriever has two coats. Its first coat is a fine down fur that is close to the skin and provides warmth during the winter and water activities. The second coat is a long, thin, fine hair that is used as a water repellent. This allows the pet to dry off quickly and to protect the inner coat. The skill that the grooming expert needs to proficient in is to know how short to trim or not to trim at all. To cut the hair too short would leave the under coating hair and the skin open to dangerous situations. These situations could be exposure to the sun, which would cause skin irritation or skin cancer.

    If you think that you have these skills, you may be able to be a pet grooming professional. The pet grooming profession is a lucrative field in which the groomers have the opportunity to choose what kind of animals to groom and what fees they may charge. There is currently a shortage of groomers of all types in rural areas. Moving to an area without pet grooming experts could also be the start of a very profitable career.
