GUIDE DOG HELP
HOW TO FIND INFO AT PETGROOMER.COM

Sponsored by

During Fall and Winter 2012 we are updating the look of PetGroomer.com (over to pink and purple and a gray navigation menu on the left of every page, as you see here). Therefore there are instructions below for the "old look" and the "new look." PetGroomer.com is actually several websites interlinked.

www.petgroomer.com (over 4,000 web pages, and you are presently reading one of its pages)

Other integrated websites include:

www.driventogroom.com (mobile grooming)  •   www.petgroomerads.com (classifieds)  www.petgroomerforums.com (forum)  •   www.groomwise.com (blogs and talk radio)

The following 2 websites have an entirely unique look of their own.

www.mygroomingschool.com  (career information)   www.findagroomer.com (pet owner assistance)

The site links highlighted above in yellow have been completely fashioned with the "new look." This Guide Dog web page has the new look too. It takes time to renovate more than 6,000 web pages.

Because we are not finished with the new look renovation throughout, our Guide Dog help below refers to tips to find info using the features of the "prior look" which used "tabs" and the new look using the buttons along the top of this page, and the gray buttons seen directly on the left of this page. If you cannot locate the information you require, use the Contact page and ask!

Prior Look (Pink & Maroon Tabs) New Look (Pink, Purple & Gray Menu)
