We’ve got exciting news for our members! 🎉
BIGA is proud to launch our brand-new flyer, “Why Grooming Matters”, created to help professional groomers educate pet owners on the importance of grooming for their dog’s health and wellbeing.

Why we created the Grooming Matters leaflet
As groomers, we know that grooming isn’t just about making dogs look good – it’s about their overall welfare. Regular grooming helps prevent matting, reduces discomfort, improves skin and coat health, and allows early detection of health issues.
But sometimes, pet owners don’t fully understand how important grooming really is. That’s why BIGA has designed this flyer: a simple, easy-to-read handout that explains the value of professional grooming and why choosing a BIGA-recognised groomer matters.
In the leaflet it explains these key areas:
What Your Dog May Experience During Grooming
How Often Should My Dog Be Groomed?
The Importance of Regular Grooming
Why Early Grooming Matters
Keeping to a Grooming Schedule
Why Choose a BIGA-Recognised Groomer?
It also includes a box where you the BIGA groomer can add your business details.
