The creators of PetGroomer.com have had a dream for a very long time to publish a very unique, very special publication, PetGroomer.com Journal. It will be distributed in the United States and Canada by POSTAL MAIL, not the Internet except for those outside the U.S. and Canada.

The PetGroomer.com Journal is NOT a trade magazine. We highly suggest you subscribe to trade magazines such as Groomer to Groomer and Grooming Business. These are excellent pet grooming trade magazines with whom we are not competing. In fact, they have our complete support.

The PetGroomer.com Journal is something new. It's a valuable keeper of interest to both career seekers as well as pet groomers. We are not going to say more because it's a secret format! It's like nothing else you've ever seen in the pet grooming industry.

Would you like to see what we mean?

Would you like a free subscription? Our plan is to distribute the first 5,000 copies with a January/February 2011 edition. Our schedule calls for 4 to 6 issues per year. You are not obligated in any way.

*Postal deliveries are free anywhere in the United States and Canada. If you live outside the U.S. and Canada, we will email you a digital copy instead to read on your computer. Everyone should use the same subscription form below.

Reserve a Free Copy Now

For a free subscription by postal mail in the United States and Canada use the form below. If you are located outside the United States or Canada, please fill out the same form but you must include an email address to receive your digital copy. Look for your copy in January 2011.

Your privacy is important to us. We will not sell or rent your mailing information. It will be used to distribute PetGroomer.com and associated publications.
