Welcome to the Newer RESOURCE ARTICLES Section
In the past version of GroomerTALK we had various resource articles here and some industry information. Most of that has been removed except a few classic articles. Starting with the Fall 2019 issue of PetGroomer.com Magazine, many of the magazine articles will be copied here. You will still download a copy of the whole magazine at www.petgroomermagazine.com or use the E-BOOK version at the site to read. No changes there. Select articles from future issues will be featured here too.

Toenail Clipping - Grooming 101?
By Barbara Bird
Originally written June 2009 for her GroomWise.com Blog, and now archived here in Resources. Barbara's web site is www.bbird.biz. Please visit her site today.
