It may happen with a dog you have safely handled many times before, or it may be a new-to-you grooming client on the table, but suddenly, the pet tries to bite. I believe that most dog-to-groomer bites happen because the dog is uncomfortable. It may be that the dog is frightened by some part of the process or (more likely) because some area of its body is painful
We work with moving animals and sharp tools, so ensuring we have great lighting at our grooming table is a must. Unfortunately, not all workplaces are equipped with optimal lighting options, leaving us grooming with parts of the animal poorly lit. The inability to clearly see what we are working on can lead to a poor finish at best and injuries to the pet at worst. Inadequate light also contributes to eye strain on the stylist's part, and who has time for that?
