Jason aka @GroomerWithMuscles blessed us last week with an interview on his experience being on HBO Max?s Haute Dog. Well, this week he blesses us with his favorite products that groomers can find at yours truly: Ryan?s Pet Supplies. Let?s jump right in!

I honestly didn?t think I would make it onto the show. I know there?s a lot of groomers that are better than me. I?ve only been grooming around 8 years. And yeah, when I did the interview, I was excited to hear back from them and tell them that I?m going through the final process. I did another interview, and they were like ?we love you, you?re in!

Photography is a groomer?s best friend. It is one of the best ways to create a client connection, showcase your talent and keep track of your personal progress. Your patrons will remember the extra time you took to take that beautiful picture of Fluffy. Every single one of them deserve the one-on-one attention that we can offer at the end of their groom. The few moments we take to put on their bow or bandana, spray them with some delicious perfume, sneak in a couple kisses, and set them up for their photo can create some of the most amazing memories with your clients. Here are 5 tips that will help create better quality grooming photographs:

When creatives haven?t developed a strong sense of self, haven?t accepted ourselves as perfectly imperfect, and use others as a mirror for self-judgement, it?s a recipe for self-destruction. I don?t take it personally when my dogs slink off to bed instead of watching Well Groomed with me; and I no longer take stock in what other people say or do. How much time do you waste analyzing others instead of trying to better understand your beautiful imperfect creative self?

I have always had a love for animals specifically dogs. Having my own dogs and experiencing the struggle of finding a good reliable groomer and then the inconvenience of transporting them back and forth ? I started to connect the dots that there was a need for an easy yet pampering experience for our beloved puppers.

We?ve all been there before. Clients can be upset for a number of reasons. They?re mad the groom is wrong. They?re angry their dog had to be shaved when they didn?t brush them. They didn?t even show up to the groom and now you?ve lost money. Their dog has blood in their stool and are possibly trying to blame you. Whatever the reason may be, we can give you this advice: don?t let it get to you. And your groomer community is here to support you with words of wisdom.

Price increases are inevitable no matter what, in any business. When your utilities go up in cost or the cost per gallon of shampoo goes up, what do you do? You can make that up a few different ways!

This time of year, especially, as our hands feel aches and swelling starts to appear, our bodies feel like a truck ran over it TWICE! and our hearts are tired, the thoughts of wondering ?what if I tried something else?? get loud.

It?s ironic how the holidays can be a time of great joy and completely anxiety-provoking at the same time. The holiday spirit does a fantastic job of fueling us up to give the best of ourselves. Much like a car, it doesn?t matter how much gas we have in the tank. If we don?t maintain our bodies or push ourselves too hard too fast, we will crash right into a wall.
