Pet groomers reopen in Los Angeles

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Pet groomers in Los Angeles were recently given the green light to reopen under new restrictions. FOX 11 stopped by Sparky's Pet Grooming in Beverly Hills on Friday to see how they were bringing back business.

The company says the biggest change that customers will see is the new requirement for pet owners to drop off and pick up their pets outside the store, with only employees being allowed to enter the building. The move is in accordance with new guidelines released earlier this week by Mayor Eric Garcetti in order to protect customers and employees during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The employees at Sparky's also all practice social distancing and treat pets while wearing face masks. They also thoroughly wash your pet before and after grooming.
