Many PetSmart groomers make barely above minimum wage, the complaint notes. Scally was making $15 an hour. “For these workers, $5,500 could be more than two months of pay. As a result, leaving their jobs in search of higher wages could lead to difficulty paying rent or putting food on the table,” the complaint alleges.

Pet salons and groomers make significant investments in high-quality tools and premium products. They continually advance their education, undergo training in animal behavior and prioritize thorough cleanliness between appointments to provide the best service for their clients.

Dogs with long, thick fur may need to be groomed every 4-6 weeks, while dogs with short or fine hair may only need to go every 8-12 weeks. It's important to keep up with your dog's grooming program as if left too long, their hair may become matted and cause irritation or infection and need to be shaven.
