Why should I work as a dog groomer?

If you love animals, dog grooming is a rewarding career that allows you to make working with furry friends a living. Many dogs require regular grooming, meaning you are able to make a positive difference in an enjoyable job — helping dogs stay clean, happy and healthy. With flexible working hours, a variety of pathways and the opportunity to meet unique people and their pets, the pet care industry is ideal for those who want a fulfilling career. 

As a dog groomer, you will work with a diverse range of pooches, so you will always be presented with new joys and challenges with the dogs you are responsible for grooming. You will be able to expand your skills and learn new techniques as your career progresses.

What will I do as a dog groomer?

There is plenty of variety as a dog groomer and no two days look the same. Some of the different tasks and duties you will have working in dog grooming services include:

  • Preparing dogs for their full groom
  • Bathe, blow dry and brush out dogs’ coats
  • Cutting fur, de-shedding, nail clipping and ear cleaning
  • Use and operate different dog grooming equipment
  • Understand and know how to work with different dog breeds, coat types and personalities
  • Communicate with pet owners and provide customer service
  • Tidy up and maintain grooming hygiene areas
  • Provide first aid to dogs if required

To be successful as a dog groomer, it is important that you are calm, friendly and enjoy working with animals. No two dogs are alike, so flexibility and adaptability are required in order to cater to all dogs’ needs. People skills are also essential since pet groomers need to communicate with pet owners to let them know what their dog needs. 

What career pathways does a dog groomer give me?

There are multiple careers within the industry, including dog grooming salons and mobile services, so you have the ability to find which one is best for you. Some of the opportunities and pathways are:

  • Dog groomer
  • Pet stylist
  • Mobile groomer
  • Sole trader

The average dog groomer in Australia earns an average salary of $51,272 a year. However, if you begin your own dog grooming business, you are able to set your own salary and prices, so the sky’s the limit!

What qualifications do I need to become a dog groomer in Australia?

Although a formal qualification is not required to become a pet groomer, partaking in a course will help you to obtain the technical skills you need as well as boost your job prospects. Some of the certifications you can undertake are a Certificate III in Companion Animal Services ACM30417 or a Certificate III in Pet grooming (ACM30612). Shortcourses.com.au has a variety of courses ranging from different study lengths, specialisations and levels of expertise.
