One of my most important tools!
I am new to the grooming business and although I have a firm foundation of skills there is still A Lot of breed specific information out there! This easy to use manual answers questions I didnt even know I had and gives me confidence when accepting any breed into my repertoire. I highly recommend it to all new groomers as a necessary first tool!

New Book
I was a little eerie on getting this book because I wasnt sure if it was spiral bound or not. So, happy that it was!! Very happy with this purchase.
