The availability of dog groomers in the UK has been severely limited due to Covid-19, which has obviously had a significant impact on the demand for grooming products. Price comparison site Idealo has seen a mammoth spike in sales of dog grooming products, with a 309 per cent increase from January to May.
Many Brits are thus attempting to give their pet a trim to help it keep cool. With many pets not being able to see past their hair, Google Searches has seen a spike of over 1 350 Brits asking Google how to groom their dogs at home, tripling the searches since March.
Experts warn that cutting a dog's fur isn't easy, especially for beginners, and can do much harm to the dog. Katy Phillips from Idealo commented: "We're seeing a burst in sales of different types of dog grooming products, which suggests that people are going for it."
