Testimonials
When I was looking for a proper course to start cat grooming, I found the website of the Cat Grooming School owned by Svetlana Broussova. I live in Belgium so it was not my first thought to go to London, but I saw on the Cat Grooming School website they had launched an online course, as well as producing books on basic grooming techniques for both longhaired and shorthaired cats. So I bought both books – I ordered them on a Friday, and by Monday they had arrived! Great service!
I was not experienced at all in grooming but with these perfect manuals I learned so many things, thanks to their very good descriptions with detailed illustrations, and a DVD with each book. These DVDs are of great value because you can see the whole basic cat grooming process.
I have since trained and started a career as a Cat Groomer. I think these books are an ideal guidance for people beginning as a professional cat groomer, and also for cat owners who want to do some grooming themselves at home.

I really like the books – the instructions and pictures are very clear and it gives a very easy to follow step-by-step guide to basic cat grooming techniques. I really like how it emphasises bonding with the cat and that all is done with love and respect. Lovely books, I just hope they doesn’t do us all out of a job! 🙂
As a professional cat groomer of some 15yrs I believe there is always more to learn, so was pleased to see this new publication about cat grooming shorthaired cats (as well as the 2nd book in the series, Grooming Longhaired Cats). There are assumptions that shorthaired coats don’t need much attention, but I see many such cats at my grooming studio whose coats greatly benefit from grooming.
This book is a wonderful educational resource covering basic grooming techniques and, importantly, emphasising gentle and compassionate handling, so that the grooming process is a positive experience for the cat. With its lovely clear photographs and descriptions throughout, and the accompanying DVD which demonstrates the techniques outlined in the book, it is the ideal manual for both new experienced cat groomers, as well as owners, wishing to learn more about grooming their own cats.

I have just purchased these books, “Grooming Longhaired Cats – Basic Cat Grooming Techniques” and “Cat Grooming Shorthaired Cats – Basic Cat Grooming Techniques”
Having spent the last year looking for a book on the subject of cat grooming, I have found these two books the most informative on the market.
The books are clear and concise with helpful drawings and photographs. The added benefit of the CD with each books makes it a brilliant guide to basic cat grooming techniques.
Both books are worth every penny and I would recommend to anyone with an interest in cat grooming, whether in a professional capacity or just for caring for their own cat.
Three times a year, the Cat Grooming School holds an open day and cat grooming taster session, so you can come and visit us and learn what the cat grooming business is all about. Whatever your background, you might find cat grooming is the perfect hobby for you, or maybe this could be the start of a great new business venture? Perhaps you would like some handy part-time work?

I came across Svetlana and Pet Universe Grooming School after a disappointing training week at another establishment. Before returning to Dubai I was determined to ‘give it one more go’ and try another school. Noticing that Svetlana had trained initially as a vet in Russia encouraged me to trust her and apply to do my intermediate Cat Grooming Course. I’ve never regretted that moment – it was the best decisionRead More »

Dear Svetlana Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank-you for a great day !!! I spent the day with you on your basic cat grooming course, and learned so much, even though I have been grooming my own cats I came away feeling very confident in what I was doing and picked up lots of tips! I will certainly be coming back for the next installment!!

I had the opportunity to make some major life changes in October 2014 and, having worked in an office all my life with my horses, cats and chickens as my hobby, took this chance to train to become a cat groomer. I had the vision of being a mobile cat groomer within a 50 mile radius of my home area near Fleet in Hampshire, aiming to negate the need forRead More »
