If you suspect a skin issue beyond grooming scope, what is the appropriate action?

Diagnose and prescribe treatment.

Ignore and proceed as normal.

Refer to a veterinarian and inform owner; do not diagnose yourself.

Noticing a skin issue during grooming means you should escalate to a veterinarian and inform the owner. A grooming professional isn’t trained to diagnose conditions or prescribe treatments, and attempting to do so could misread signs or cause harm. Instead, describe what you observed, recommend a veterinary evaluation, and offer to help the owner arrange an appointment. This protects the animal’s welfare, keeps you within your scope of practice, and maintains trust with the client. Do not attempt medical management yourself, and don’t discuss or post concerns publicly without the owner’s permission.

Post about the issue on social media without client permission.
