Kitty’s Purrfect Spa Earns More Certifications!

Kitty’s Purrfect Spa believes in always doing what is best for the cat.  Some of you know this very well.  We do not like telling our Human Clients “no”, however when your fabulous ideas are not in line with our beliefs of what is in the best interest of Kitty, we do.  Our new titles, acknowledge we always put the physical and emotional health, safety and comfort of Kitty ahead of human wishes.

​The International Professional Groomers, Inc. (IPG) has risen to the challenge of many states and countries.  Often times we hear of horrible tragedies that occur at the groomers.  Due to the horrific events that come to light in the media, many believe the time is approaching when Groomers will be regulated by governmental agencies.  IPG is attempting to institute programs that are ahead of the times, by giving Groomers the opportunity to “self regulate”.

In an attempt to be forward thinking, and most up to date in all areas of grooming, safety and ethical business practices, Kitty’s Purrfect Spa now holds these new titles.  These are the first certifications for groomers that are based on Professionalism instead of Skill.

​The First new title we now hold is Salon Details.  “This certificate acknowledges skilled professionals who adhere to a strict code of ethics and autonomy. The award of SDC Certification exhibits (our) success in demonstrating and attaining the knowledge and practical skills to work with and handle dogs and cats safely, ethically, and professionally.  This certification is the first International endorsement program for all persons involved in caring for dogs and cats in a grooming situation.”

​The Second New Title Kitty’s Purrfect Spa earned is for “Salons, mobiles, or other businesses.  All full time employees and owners must be SDC certified.  In addition, a checklist must be completed and a series of photos (Video in our case) submitted.  Accredited salons must meet minimum standards of safety, cleanliness, and more.  In addition, the business must carry liability insurance.”

Over the last few months, Kitty’s Purrfect Spa has been called in to work with several cats who had an “opps” with another groomer.  Please know, we are always happy to work with any Kitty and the Human family to get over grooming anxieties.  Kitty’s Purrfect Spa ALWAYS invites families to watch, ask questions, and even take pictures during our grooms!
