If you’re a cat groomer looking to build a solid foundation of Iv San Bernard products but aren’t sure where to start (or what’s what on the website!) - I’ve put together this list just for you.
After years of hands-on experience in the salon, testing a wide variety of products (some brilliant, others not-so-much), I’ve narrowed it down to the essentials I truly can’t live without. These are tried, tested, and trusted - and they deliver outstanding results for feline clients of all coat types and conditions.
