Utah's nonprofit home for affordable grooming education. We bring top industry educators to pet professionals — offering community-driven workshops, competitions, and classes every month.
Pet Groomers Low-Cost Education exists to expand access to continued education for pet industry professionals by offering affordable, inclusive, and community-driven learning opportunities that promote ethical care, professional confidence, and long-term industry sustainability.
We envision a pet industry where professionals nationwide — regardless of location, financial barriers, or experience level — have access to continued education, mentorship, and community support.
