The complete guide
Choosing a grooming smock
What this smock is for
Grooming is messy work. Hair flies, suds splash, and dirt ends up on whatever you are wearing. This smock is an easy-on, easy-off layer that keeps your clothes and your body protected from hair and dirt.
The listing calls it a grooming jacket, a smock and an apron. Whatever you call it, it is made as professional work clothing for pet workers. It suits a professional pet shop, and it suits grooming your own dog at home just as well.
Waterproof nylon
The smock is made from nylon and it is waterproof. It is also lightweight.
It keeps your clothing clean and protects you from flying hair and suds. That makes it a handy thing to have on when you bathe a dog, or when you are brushing out a coat and the hair starts to fly.
Front zipper and pocket
Two small details make it easy to live with:
- Front zipper: the zip cover design at the front makes it easy to put on and take off between jobs.
- Double-sided pocket: handy for carrying a small grooming kit when you need your tools close.
Washing and drying
This smock is easy to wash and needs no ironing. It is machine washable and quick-drying.
- Machine wash in cold water, or wash it separately in a laundry bag with a mild detergent.
- Hang it to dry.
Where you can wear it
It is made for professional pet grooming, and the listing also suggests it for nail salons, hair salons and similar work. It is durable enough for daily use while keeping you comfortable.
It comes in three sizes, so it can make a matching pair for couples who groom their pets together. Picture you and your partner in matching smocks, bathing your dog out in the sunshine.
Picking a size
The smock comes in Medium, Large and X Large. The listing does not give a size chart with chest or length measurements. If you are unsure which size to pick, email us before you order and we will check for you.
