Woofie’s and American Kennel Club Collaborate to Enhance Dog Grooming Safety Standards

Woofie’s, a leader in mobile pet care services, has teamed up with the American Kennel Club (AKC) to bring standardized grooming safety training and certifications to its franchises across the country through the AKC S.A.F.E. Grooming Program. This initiative will see Woofie’s grooming professionals undergo comprehensive training in pet care, health and safety protocols, and handling of dogs with special needs, culminating in certification as AKC S.A.F.E. Groomers and Salons.

The collaboration underscores Woofie’s commitment to excellence and safety in pet care, aligning with the AKC’s longstanding advocacy for responsible dog ownership and canine welfare. Certified locations will be featured on the AKC GroomerFinder, offering pet owners assurance of the highest safety and care standards. Gina M. DiNardo, AKC President and CEO, highlighted the partnership as a testament to Woofie’s dedication to community service and pet care excellence.

Amy Addington, Woofie’s Co-Founder and President, emphasized the significance of partnering with the AKC, the gold standard in canine care, to elevate grooming practices nationwide. This move not only enhances industry standards but also provides pet parents with peace of mind regarding their pets’ care and safety.
