pet grooming

Fur care service

Pet grooming is the care and maintenance of an animal's appearance and hygiene—bathing, brushing, nail trimming, and haircutting.

Professional groomers work in salons or mobile units, handling everything from basic cleanings to breed-specific styling: The poodle needs grooming every six weeks.

The term covers both the service industry and at-home care.
