Updated: Nov 26, 2023

Choosing the correct kit is just as important as finding the right dog grooming school. Cheap under performing tools will cost you more long time, so it's imperative you buy wisely when you are getting started as a dog grooming student.


Depending on the level you are starting at does depict what equipment you need. City & Guild level 2 covers a range of mandatory and optional units that cover all the basics such as handling, restraint, bathing and drying dogs, maintaining equipment and basic trimming.
