Grooming business path

Grooming businesses use the paid SAPPGA business path for their profile, listing and verification. SAPPGA rating is handled separately as a paid audit/application.

  • Paid business membership for parlours, mobile groomers, or both
  • Business profile listing and verification
  • Directory visibility for pet parents looking in their area
  • SAPPGA rating is a separate paid audit/application process
