Facility
The Virginia School of Pet Grooming is a high-tech facility. The entire building is large, bright, and open with specialized hospital-quality central heat and air conditioning. A central ventilating system changes the air in the facility 10 times per hour. This gets rid of unpleasant pet and chemical odors and assures the cleanest, freshest air quality always. Floors are special epoxy coated. Specialized bathing and drying areas allow the convenience of one location work area. All the high-end sand dryers and forced air dryers give you the luxury of learning all aspects of grooming in the best environment. Every student is assigned their own drying system, this eliminates the arguing over “who’s got my dryer” that happens in a smaller school. There is also a fenced-in walking area for those pets being groomed
Each student’s station has its own adjustable hydraulic grooming table that will allow small to large dogs to be worked on. No more waiting for a large grooming table or shuffling your equipment from one place to another to get working on assignments. With front loops and a rubber surface for traction for the pet, you can concentrate on learning instead of being interrupted by silly inconveniences. There are drop-down outlets for each table to run clippers and dryers. Equipment Can be stored at each station in secured lockable grooming stations. The entire facility is lit by overhead recessed ceiling lights. There is plenty of quality light to work by.
Our bath area has four large tubs.
