The DAATA-ICDG grooming method is grounded in the principles of animal dermatology and cosmetology. By fully respecting the physiology of the skin and coat, groomers achieve significantly better results across multiple dimensions.

Enhanced Animal Welfare

Above all, animal well-being is prioritized — both physically and emotionally.
By working in harmony with the pet’s natural physiology, the DAATA method improves the health of the skin and coat, while also creating a calming and respectful grooming experience.

Transformed Pet Behavior

One of the most remarkable effects of the DAATA method is the rapid improvement in pet behavior. Animals who previously resisted bathing, brushing, or drying often accept DAATA techniques from the very first session, without the need for desensitization or positive reinforcement strategies. This transformation comes purely from respecting the animal’s rhythm, comfort, and skin integrity.

Healthier Skin & Coat, Better Grooming Results

When the skin and coat are respected, they thrive. The result?

• Healthier hair and skin

• More beautiful, lasting grooming results

• More efficient grooming sessions

The DAATA method offers faster techniques with superior outcomes — both in terms of aesthetics and comfort.

Supporting Dermatological Issues

DAATA-trained groomers can effectively support pets dealing with a variety of skin conditions, including:

• Dry or oily skin

• Inflammation

• Irritations and burns

• Dandruff and flakiness

Without needing to purchase new or specific products, DAATA allows groomers to optimize the use of their existing cosmetics, and even collaborate more effectively with veterinarians during treatment or recovery processes.

Groomer Well-Being and Professional Growth

The DAATA method benefits the groomer just as much as the pet:

• Greater knowledge, grounded in science, builds professional confidence

• Calmer, more cooperative animals create a stress-free working environment

• Superior results lead to more personal satisfaction and client trust

Increased Service Value

DAATA-certified groomers are also able to raise their prices — with full justification.
Thanks to their ability to:

• Groom animals that others may refuse,

• Deliver visible improvements,

• Address skin issues effectively,

Many DAATA Level 2 professionals increase their rates by up to 35%, especially for specialized grooming involving skin and coat care.
