Groomer Job: Petsmart or PetCo?

I'm thinking of working at either Petsmart or PetCo as a groomer's helper, and then eventually a groomer to gain experience. Do you know which company is better to work for as far as grooming goes? I'm leaning more towards PetCo since they only have a one year contract, where as Petsmart the contract is 2 or 3 years. And groomer's helpers get paid commission, where as at Petsmart groomer's helpers do not get commission.

Choose The Adequate Size For Harness For Dog Easily

Probably you will agree, that harnesses for puppies are an excellent option. Walking your dog with a harness is safer than leading them by the collar.

Dog Becoming Very Nervous/Excited

Hi everyone, our girl Wheaten Terrier, Roxie, is 6 & 1/2. In the past couple months, she goes through stages where she acts very nervous and on edge. We can't make sudden moves around her or loud noises because she becomes very anxious. Sometimes if she is upstairs with us , all it takes is someone calmly walking down the stairs to the first floor of our home for her to dart off the bed like crazy and follow you down the stairs so quickly that she almost trips you. She also will sit outside... more

Thanks for this advice! She recently was at the vet where they said she was overweight. We found that hard to understand because she is on an eating schedule where we monitor how much she eats and she also goes on daily walks. This is definitely something I will look into. Thanks again!

Sat, Jan 29 2022 11:34 AM

Thanks for sharing this info with me! My cat was recently diagnosed with an over-weight condition, but it was hard to believe that she is overweight because we feed her according to a plan and take her walking every day. I will look into this right away.

Wed, May 4 2022 4:18 AM

A friend of mine had a cat who suddenly gained weight simply because a kitten came along, and the cat started eating the kitten food. And the clue is that kitten food has a lot of nutrients that an adult cat doesn't need.

What breeds would you say he is?

Of course I know what jumps out at me, but I'd like to hear from others. Thank you.
