Groomers are individuals who provide professional grooming services for pets, primarily dogs and cats. They typically perform tasks such as bathing, brushing, trimming fur, and nail clipping to maintain the health and appearance of animals. Groomers may work in pet salons, veterinary clinics, or as mobile service providers. In a different context, the term "groomer" can refer to someone who builds a relationship with a vulnerable person, often a child, with the intent to exploit them. This type of grooming involves manipulation and deceit, aiming to gain trust before engaging in harmful behavior. Awareness of both meanings is important for understanding their implications.
