I once job shadowed during highschool (like 3-4 years ago) at a vet/groomer and they made us help groom dogs and cats all day. and the lady doing the groomings washed all the dogs and cats with dawn dish soap, i was apalled and needless to say i dont take my pets to that vet or that groomer i wouldnt want my dogs washed with dish soap if i wanted that done id do it myself at home. she charged quite a bit to for dish soap bathing lol. |
Some groomers charge extra for the owner to stay b/c they claim it distracts them. IMO you're not much of a groomer if a person in your shop is distracting. If a human is distracting how about all those other dogs barking or phone ringing?
As for the Dawn dish liquid - some groomers feel that washing a really oily dog with Dawn helps however if a groomer uses quality shampoos and understands a dogs coat they don't resort to using subsitute products. All the more reason the public should push for groomers having to be licensed by their states - just as a hair stylist is.
