English term or phrase: grooming/ groomer

This is from an article by someone who is a judge at pet shows.
She picks the winners at "grooming contests", held a seminar on the topic "The Gentle Groomer" and reckons that "Thai groomers can scissor as well as American groomers" etc.
Is a groomer a Hundefrisör, or is this too narrow, since cats also take part in the pet shows and grooming also comprises nail clipping and so on? And what would you suggest for grooming?
Thanks for any help!
