NEW RELEASE: Grooming Tips from Across the Table
**By Peggy Horvath — Retired Groomer & Animal Behaviorist** If you groom pets for a living — or simply want to care for your own dog or cat at home — this book is the mentor you wish you had years ago.
Written with warmth, humor, and over **forty years of hands-on experience**, *Grooming Tips From Across the Table* is packed with real-world techniques, safety practices, and unforgettable stories from a groomer who has seen it all.
Peggy doesn’t sugarcoat the realities of grooming. She teaches you how to stay calm, stay safe, and stay compassionate — even when the job gets chaotic. As she writes, *“Grooming an animal should be a relaxing enjoyable session for you, your pet or your client’s pet.”*
