Phase 2 Underway June to Dec. 2008

Every reference term in Groomer Pedia has its own web page. During Phase 2 we will define at least 1,500 grooming industry terms. The work will be aided by "Contributing Authors." Your participation is encouraged as a qualified author. Also, anyone can submit comments regarding our definitions with the intent to help us better present encyclopedia style definitions without opinion and instead based on known, sourced facts.

Navigating Groomer Pedia™ is easy. It is divided into "Portals" (sections). Each portal has a unique theme, such as "Mobile Grooming." Within each portal related grooming industry terms are sorted for easy access. This structure also conforms well to the needs of our web site search engine.

Groomer Pedia™ will never stop growing as long as the grooming industry expands and matures. Therefore this web site will always be under construction to some degree. We have plans for 5,000 terms to be completed within 3 years.

1. Become a Groomwise™ Contributing Author and submit works (eligibility requirements)
2. Submit Comments regarding our published definitions (open to everyone)
3. Discuss definitions on the Groomer Pedia™ Hive℠ Message Board (Fall 2008)

Groomer Pedia™ is the place where pet grooming professionals stick to the business of advancing the profession with a centralized database of grooming industry terms. They can also read knowledgeable articles by our Contributing Authors. On the other paw, socialization between groomers is highly encouraged at the popular GroomerTALK Message Board.

Groomwise™ Contributing Authors

We provide Groomwise™ Contributing Authors with a profile web page viewable by our visitors. Your original works or additions to our encyclopedia definitions are identified and linked to your profile page. Being published here may expand your reputation as a pet grooming industry professional. You may also be able to develop new clientele for your publications, products and services. Eligible Groomwise™ Contributing Authors may earn cash revenue when their new or existing works are selected for publication in our Groomer Pedia™ Journal, a print edition distributed by postal mail.

Free Copy of Our 2009 Print Edition by Mail

Update: We have been contacted by major companies offering significant assistance to publish Groomer Pedia™ Journal. With their assistance we can quickly distribute thousands more copies than we had previously planned, and we can upgrade the design. More information will be presented in late 2008.

Since 1997 at PetGroomer.com. Unfortunately there are still thousands of groomers without Internet and that just won't do for us anymore. Groomer Pedia™  represents our outreach to them as well as you, an online groomer.

The 1st Annual Groomer Pedia™ print edition is sure to be a collector's edition. There is no other grooming industry publication whose format is similar. It's not how-to groom info, nor is it a trade magazine. We're not competing with any other publication. In fact we promote other available trade publications. Groomer Pedia™ Journal is a totally new concept.

We're serious that every groomer receives Groomer Pedia™ Journal. Sign-up to receive a free subscription copy (no obligations, catches, sales calls or shipping and handling). Free subscriptions are available to U.S. and Canadian residents. To learn more about delivery in other locations click here.

Our Privacy Policy assures you we will never sell your contact information. Since 1997 we've kept that promise at PetGroomer.com, and the same will be proven true here.
