Soft pin slicker, to remove dead hairs
from undercoat and top coat (not in the online-only edition).

formulated foaming cleaner that gives the dog a bright,
lustrous appearance. It needs no water, so it saves you
requiring a dog bath (not in the online-only edition).

Dog Grooming Masterclass DVD containing
live action instructions and information on the different
aspects of grooming.
You get the files for a free dog groomer's website (value £385)
You get a free dog groomer's website, complete with sample text. Just change the text to suit your needs, upload it to your site, and you’ll have your own website!
If you went to a designer, they would charge you at least £385 for this work. And because we know what clients want from a dog groomer's website, the pages are better than what a designer would provide.
