Welcome to the future IGS Norway Chapter
The International Grooming Society does not yet have an official chapter leader in Norway — but we’re working on it!
Meanwhile, IGS HQ is directly organising training events and educational activities to support Norwegian groomers who wish to explore modern, sensory, and science-based grooming practices.
These initiatives aim to connect passionate professionals, lay the foundation for a future local team, and give participants the same benefits enjoyed by IGS members worldwide.

Join the Groomer’s Health Campaign 2026
Please take part in the Groomer’s Health Campaign 2026, an international initiative dedicated to improving the physical, emotional, and professional wellbeing of groomers worldwide.
We warmly invite all groomers to participate by completing the official health and wellness questionnaire.
Please note that your participation is completely anonymous and that your answers will remain confidential and used solely for research and awareness purposes.
At the end of the questionnaire, you will have the option to leave your email address if you wish to receive the final results of the campaign and be informed about future wellbeing initiatives. This information will be stored separately and will not be linked to your answers in any way.
Your voice matters and by sharing your experience, you help us build a clearer picture of the challenges faced by grooming professionals in Norway. Together, we can raise awareness, promote healthier work environments, and advance support systems tailored to our industry.
Let’s make grooming better — for pets and for the people who care for them.
