A Note from Joe Zuccarello

Posted by Joe Zuccarello, Natasha Wittmaack, Marketing Content Specialist on 28th Jul 2025

To My Friends and Colleagues in the Pet Industry, 

After many incredible years with Paragon School of Pet Grooming, I want to share that I will be stepping away from my role there. While this marks the end of a meaningful chapter, I’m excited to share that I am not leaving the pet industry; I am stepping even deeper into it. 

I remain fully committed to serving the Professional Pet Grooming community. My passion for this industry and the people who make it thrive is stronger than ever. I will continue to focus on creating programs and products that support grooming professionals and the businesses that empower them. 

Looking ahead, my focus will center on improving the everyday experiences of Professional Pet Groomers, from the workspace to the tools, to the way we think about wellness and sustainability. I’m thrilled to announce that I am joining the incredible team at Groomer’s Choice. Together, we are committed to elevating the grooming profession and maximizing the rewards for those whose passion is centered on serving pets, pet parents, and the overall well-being of both. 

Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my journey with Paragon. I am deeply grateful for the relationships and experiences that have shaped my path, and I look forward to continuing this work. This time from a new platform, with new opportunities, and with the same heartfelt mission. 

Warm regards, 
Joe
