Groomer Supershow Competition Results

MONROVIA, Calif.—This year’s Groomer Supershow, held at SuperZoo in Las Vegas, featured exciting grooming competitions and was the setting for this year’s Crystal Grooming Achievement Awards presentation.

Once again, the World Pet Association hosted its Groomer Supershow grooming competitions at this year’s SuperZoo trade show in Las Vegas. Prizes totaling more than $45,000 were awarded to competition winners across 12 categories.

Jackie Boulton won the Groomer Super Jackpot and took home the top prize of $10,000. Top honors were also given to Veronica Frosch, who won $2,000 for Best Pet Stylist in Show, and Olga Zabelinskaya, who won $1,500 for Best All-Around Pet Stylist in Show.

In addition to testing the skills of the industry’s top groomers, SuperZoo supported the local community in Las Vegas by hosting Rescue Rodeo, a competition that challenges groomers to makeover rescue dogs from local shelters. Prize money was awarded to the top three groomers, and the shelters that housed the winning dogs received a cash donation.

“Grooming is such an important part of the pet industry and we look forward each year to giving the industry’s top professionals a chance to showcase their talent,” said Doug Pointdexter, WPA president.
