Pet Grooming – Καλλωπισμός Ζώων Συντροφιάς

Love for animals meets specialization and direct professional integration. SAEK SBIE, the No.1 Health School in Greece, presents the most comprehensive Pet Grooming educational program in the country—raising industry standards in collaboration with Pet Pro Academy, the first officially recognized Companion Animal Professions Academy in Greece, along with renowned professionals in Athens and Patras.

Designed according to international educational standards, the program fully responds to modern needs in dog and cat grooming, as well as the expectations of pet owners. Training is primarily hands-on and delivered alongside highly experienced pet groomers: Vasilis Portokalis, Georgia Dousi, Nikoletta Nikolopoulou and Nikos Dimitriadis in Athens, and Giorgos Panoutsakopoulos in Patras.

The program includes haircuts and grooming baths, and takes place within the professional Pet Grooming salons of our partners:

• The Barking Barber – Nea Smyrni
• Fluffy Paws – Agios Dimitrios
• Cat + Dog Pet Grooming – Piraeus
• Paws & Tails – Peristeri
• Tzo Pet Grooming – Patras

SBIE students have the opportunity to attend theoretical and practical courses, gaining valuable experience and professional tools through real-life training environments. The curriculum includes educational modules covering all aspects of grooming—from bathing and trimming both dogs and cats, to proper hygiene care for healthy skin and coat condition.
