Dog groomers

Dog grooming should be allowed to start up again from the first lift of restrictions, this can be done relatively easily keeping social distancing at all times , no direct contact is needed with the customer therefore very low risk. Dogs can be walked to the groomers using the owners daily exercise

It is important especially as we run up to the summer that dogs coats are kept in tip top condition for welfare issues, lice, ticks , fleas , overheating etc, customers are getting quite upset that their dogs are now developing matts etc causing pain, as this is an area that can easily not have any contact I do feel this needs to be an early lifted restriction and is also for the welfare of the dogs
