Notes from the Grooming Table

Product Information

Notes From the Grooming Table 2nd Edition is a comprehensive grooming guide that includes information on basic pet grooming techniques on over 200 AKC recognized breed standards.

The book is based on ideal breed standards, which means not every dog that you get as a client is going to require the same grooming session as covered in the book. In addition, there is not a lot of talk about short version styles, which may be a little unhelpful if your clientele consists mostly of dogs such as Yorkies.

We’ve added tools and products that did not exist or were not commonly used in pet grooming prior to 2004. This is the NEW SECOND EDITION of the book that has set the industry standard for grooming reference guides.

Written by esteemed stylist, speaker, and judge, Melissa Verplank (CMG) and featuring gorgeous illustrations by renowned wildlife artist Lisa Van Sweden, this amazing guide is based on Ms. Verplank’s years of experience and expert grooming skills.
