Pet Grooming Plus PRogram
Creative Grooming is taught in our Pet Grooming Plus Program. Students will learn what products are available to correctly and safely apply to the pets coat to “color” or “dye” the coat which offers clients a truly unique look for their pet.
MSCC strongly believes that being a Professional Pet Groomer also means having ample knowledge of animal health. While no one can replace a proper veterinarian’s diagnosis, a skilled pet groomer can aid clients by recognizing issues that need to be addressed. We help prepare students by giving them a wealth of information through hands on-teaching and classroom lectures such as:
Dental Care
Eye and Ear Care – Routine maintenance as well as ailments that affect both feline and canine’s ears and eyes.
Pest Control – Recognition and control of pests and parasite infestations.
Skin and Coat Care – Common causes and aids in the treatment of skin conditions.
Prenatal and Whelping Care
Nutrition for Pets
Contagious Diseases – Contagious diseases affecting the canine, feline, and/or human; recognizing symptoms and prevention.
Controlling the Feline
Animal CPR & First Aid – As part of the program, students will be certified in CPR and First Aid through Pet Emergency Education (P.E.E.).
