iPET Network urges students to consider a career in grooming

Awarding organisation iPET Network is urging students who are still unsure about what to do now that their studies have come to an end to consider a career in pet grooming.

Thousands of students around the country have been receiving the results of their GCSE and A-Level exams this week.

Sarah Mackay and Fern Gresty, who founded the iPET Network, said: “Working with animals and running their own business is at the top of many school leavers’ wish list, and for others dog grooming could be a great place to start on the road to a career as a vet.

“Pet groomers are a key player in preserving animal welfare in this country, and it is our belief that all of our pet groomers should be qualified to a high standard, for the safety of animals, and so that we can continue to have pride in our fantastic industries.”

The iPET Network also has a portfolio of other animal care courses, such as canine nutrition, canine first aid, and breeding.
