Merryfield School of Pet Grooming is one of the very few schools in the country that is state licensed and federally accredited. This means there are federal grants and loans available to our students if they qualify. Like any college! We offer a 600 clock hour program that is hands-on. It is not a video education. It’s working with real dogs all the time. We are like a beauty school for dogs. It’s the only way to really learn the skill set necessary to competently learn Professional Pet Grooming. We have some of the top people in the country teaching at the school and are nationally recognized as a leader in the industry. So we can be the best , but if you don’t know about us, then best doesn’t count!! If you questions about our award winning program, please call Gregg Docktor at 800-361-4548
