The April issue of Total Grooming Magazine is now live — a month where education, welfare and professional pride take centre stage.

As our industry continues to evolve, so too does the responsibility we carry as grooming professionals. Standards are rising, expectations are growing and conversations around welfare, safety and professional development are becoming louder and more important than ever. This issue reflects exactly that momentum.

Health and safety leads the way in our in-depth feature Safety Shapes Success, where experienced salon owners share practical, real-world insight into protecting not only the dogs in our care, but ourselves and our teams too. From preventing injury and hearing loss to recognising behavioural stress signals and maintaining hygiene standards, it is a timely reminder that safeguarding our salons safeguards our futures.

Education is another strong theme this month. We preview the launch of GroomFest’s first dedicated Education Day — a significant step forward for the profession. As the industry grows more skilled and more visible, structured learning and shared standards are no longer optional extras — they are essential pillars of modern grooming.

Our April Groomer of the Month is Kelly Davis of KD Grooming Studio, whose journey highlights the power of mentorship, continual learning and building a business rooted in trust and wellbeing. Her passion for raising standards and supporting the next generation is both inspiring and reassuring.

We also feature Rachel Bean’s powerful column Care Without Borders, which takes us from UK salons to lifesaving work overseas. Her message is clear: education in canine first aid and proactive care truly saves lives — wherever you are in the world.

For those working with felines, Katie Gwilt reminds us that cats are not small dogs. Her expert guidance on stress signals and feline-centred handling challenges us to rethink assumptions and deepen our understanding of the cats entrusted to us.

Finally, we’re delighted to bring you our interview with The Kennel Club following the outstanding success of Crufts 2026. It was an incredible event and a huge moment for our industry — a celebration of skill, dedication and the professionalism that continues to drive grooming forward.

Thank you, as always, for being part of this community. Whether you are refining your technique, investing in education, mentoring others or simply striving to do better each day, you are helping shape the future of grooming.

Enjoy the issue.
