Knowing how to perform basic first aid on the animals in our care is essential for all pet care professionals. Once groomers have a good understanding of how to care for pets in the event of an emergency, they should consider assembling a first aid kit to keep at hand. A good basic kit will have items to treat minor injuries on both humans and pets.
In a perfect world, no pet groomer would ever need to use any form of first aid on any pet they groom, but the last time I checked, the world still wasn’t perfect. In the grooming environment, all kinds of emergencies can crop up.
