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

Woofie’s, a leader in mobile pet care services, has entered a significant partnership with the American Kennel Club (AKC) to integrate the AKC S.A.F.E. Grooming Program into its franchise operations. This initiative aims to standardize grooming safety training and certifications, elevating the quality of care provided to pets across the United States.

The collaboration will see Woofie’s grooming professionals undergo the AKC Safety in the Salon courses, which cover essential topics such as pet care best practices, health and safety protocols, and handling dogs with special needs. Upon completion, franchises will be recognized as AKC S.A.F.E. Groomers and Salons, a designation that underscores their commitment to pet safety and excellence in grooming services.

Gina M. DiNardo, President and CEO of the AKC, highlighted the importance of this partnership, noting Woofie’s dedication to client and community service through enhanced grooming safety standards. Amy Addington, Co-Founder and President of Woofie’s, emphasized the alignment with the AKC’s gold standard in canine care, offering pet owners nationwide confidence in the quality of service their pets receive.

This partnership not only benefits pet owners by ensuring their pets are cared for by certified professionals but also sets a new benchmark for the pet care industry. By adopting the AKC’s rigorous standards, Woofie’s reinforces its commitment to pet well-being and industry leadership.
