Dog Groomer Apparel – Hair Resistant Dog Grooming Clothes

Last Updated: by
Dog Groomer Apparel

Having the right apparel for dog groomers can reduce the hours you would otherwise spend attending to laundry duties.

An appropriate dog grooming  uniform might be something as simple as an apron that is waterproof, something that will protect your regular work clothing and something that will reduce the need to remove dog hair from your attire. 

Traditionally groomer uniforms include a choice of aprons, pants, jackets and smocks, each of which can be found in plain waterproof material or printed with dog-related patterns.

More casual attire can be found with humorous or catching slogans.

What to Look for in Grooming Apparel

An ideal uniform for a dog groomer should be practical, comfortable, and protective.
