I can answer all questions about proper grooming for dogs and cats. I am familiar with the proper needs of different coat types (Terrier vs Poodle, etc) and how to get the best outcome from your groomer. I work in a vet's office so I get to see firsthand what skin and coat issues translate into from a vet's standpoint and have become experienced in learning what certain fungus, allergies, etc look like. I can also explain behavioral questions as I have dog behavior background and agility training experience.
