No More Problem Coats, part 1-4 (a skin and coat care workshop)

….a four part series by Pam Lauritzen

Many dogs and cats have some type of skin and coat problem that requires the help of a Petcare Professional! In fact, most of your clients simply want their pets to be cute, clean and healthy without any skin or coat issues. In this four certificate program, Pam will help you understand skin and hair anatomy and how to topically evaluate and analyze skin and coat problems. She’ll teach you how to develop therapeutic topical conditioning programs designed to maintain healthy coats or restore unhealthy skin and coats back to health. If you now offer or plan to offer spa programs as part of your salon’s specialized services; if you are seeking to become a skin and coat care expert; if you would like to learn how to safely and effectively topically condition canine and feline skin and coats; if you plan to become an ISCC Petcare Derma Tech Specialist or an Authorized Skin & Coat Care Center — then

these seminars are a MUST!

Bring your questions and if you have photos of particular skin and coat problems your clients are experiencing– bring them also! This seminar is a MUST for all pet care professionals.

(This is a continuing series of seminars. For full benefit, it is recommended that participating individuals attend the entire the entire series.)

A Certificate of Completion will be awarded to individuals who

attend and complete all four parts.
