Colorado Pet Groomers Association
For Groomers, By Groomers. Strengthening, Supporting, and Protecting Our Industry Together.
The Colorado Pet Groomers Association is built on the belief that a strong grooming industry begins with a united grooming community. We are dedicated to bringing groomers together through education, professional development, mentorship, and ongoing opportunities to learn and grow. By providing access to quality training, workshops, classes, and industry resources, we strive to elevate the standards of our profession while empowering groomers at every stage of their careers.
At the same time, we recognize the importance of protecting our industry and the professionals who make it thrive. The Association serves as a collective voice for groomers across Colorado, advocating for fair and reasonable policies while standing against government overreach that could negatively impact our profession, businesses, and livelihoods.
Together, we are building a stronger, more connected grooming community—one that values education, professionalism, collaboration, and mutual support. When groomers unite, we create opportunities for growth, strengthen our industry, and ensure that the future of pet grooming remains in the hands of the professionals who know it best.
For Groomers, By Groomers—because together, we are stronger.

Give Back To The Grooming Community
At the Colorado Groomers Association, our passion goes far beyond grooming—we are dedicated to supporting, uplifting, and caring for the people who make up our incredible grooming community. We believe that no groomer should ever feel alone, and that everyone deserves the opportunity to be involved, connected, and supported.
Because of this commitment, we have created this donation fund to help groomers who may be facing financial hardships. These funds will provide opportunities for groomers to become members, participate in our community, access valuable resources, and continue growing both personally and professionally. Most importantly, it allows them to experience the encouragement, friendship, and sense of belonging that our grooming family provides.
The grooming industry is built on compassion, dedication, and a willingness to help one another. By donating, you are investing in fellow groomers and helping ensure that no member of our community is left behind during difficult times.
Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us extend a helping hand and strengthen the bonds that make our community so special. Thank you for helping us care for and support our grooming family
These Donations Will Help Us To Give Back And Help Other Groomers In The Community
