A grooming table created by Precision Pet. Its sturdy construction makes all around grooming easier! Real plywood tops won\’t chip or absorb water. All table materials are moisture-resistant and designed to withstand vigorous use, making them a wise investment. Premium ribbed gray vinyl runs horizontally, and gives good traction, and prevents animals from slipping off the table top. Specially designed edge molding means no exposed screws or fasteners to catch pet hair and clothing. The washable molding and table covering are very easy to clean, saving you time and money. Each table has a maximum load capacity of 100 lbs, so choosing a size depends more on the actual length and width of your dog. Measure your dog and make sure all four feet will comfortably fit on the tabletop. If your dog weighs more than 100 lbs, these tables might not be right for you.

Oct 29, 2009 | 0 | dog groomingI’m 19 and confused about what i want to do :S
my friends want me to go back to school (i was kicked out of college for bad marks…i just wasn’t able to compete) and my mom suggested I take a dog grooming course to pay back my student loan and save up some money for school.
dog grooming takes a special skill. put in applications at grooming shops, tell them you would like to eventually learn one day how to groom dogs. you’ll quickly find out while you’re working for someone if you have what it takes to be a groomer. If you think you can, ask the person you are working for or other grooming shops if they will teach you. You’ll be lucky if someone teaches you for free. I started 5 years ago, i was hired as a groomers assistant, quickly learned how to groom dogs, and now, i’ve been at the same shop for 5 years, make good $$, and love what i do. the only way you’ll make enough $$ to pay back student loans is if you are good, then you get a grooming job where you have your own clientele.
It seems like if you pull the skin taut enough the blades wont catch on it. Also..shave in the direction of the hair.
Maybe even help figure out whats worth getting at that price on ebay. There seems to be a lot of people selling clippers on ebay but I don’t know what ones are decent at cutting. I have a golden retriever mix.
I like the Andis brand. Mine run me about $130. Make sure that you get the higher RPMs… Slow RPM will only jam up your blade and not allow you to cut.
I need foldable for shows, putting 70- to 80-pound dogs on it. I have a Precision crate, which I love. Is their Pro Series table as good quality as their crates? Also looking at Champagne. Not sure
We have a Precision grooming table and it has lasted very well.
Good Luck!
