The major international study by the International Grooming Society (IGS) on groomers’ health is nearing its closing date: you have until December 31 to participate.Many of you have already responded — thank you!

But to obtain solid, representative, and useful results for the entire profession, we need as many responses as possible.

A Passionate Career… but Physically and Mentally Demanding

Behind the daily work of groomers lie risks that are often underestimated:

muscular and joint pain,
respiratory or skin issues,
stress and sensory overload,
injuries and chronic fatigue…

These issues are real, yet they have never been studied on a global scale — this is what the IGS aims to change.

Why This Study Truly Matters

The IGS study makes it possible, for the first time, to:

✔ Provide official data

To present the real conditions of the profession to brands, professional organisations, distributors, and schools.

✔ Encourage concrete improvements

With the results, we will be able to:

push manufacturers toward more ergonomic equipment,
raise brands’ awareness of dermatological and respiratory risks,
build prevention tools,
improve professional training,
support stronger recognition of the profession.

✔ Understand the diversity of grooming practices

Each answer adds an essential nuance: country, work environment, animal types, techniques, daily constraints…

The more participants, the more reliable the results.

Your Participation Truly Makes a Difference

Even if you think “my answer won’t change anything,” it actually will: every single response strengthens the credibility of the data. A major study only has impact if many groomers take part — and we truly need you.

Deadline December 31: Take Part Now

The questionnaire is:

anonymous,
quick (less than 10 minutes),
open to all groomers,
simple and accessible internationally.
