Wash & Wear
In episode 11, Wash & Wear, Isabel interviews Brigette Cox of Classy Canine Daycare in Dallas, Texas. Being the first groomer to appear on Covered in Pet Hair, Isabel had a ton of questions for Brigette. She kept asking questions - even though she insisted each was "the last question, I promise."
Isabel and Brigette play This vs. That in which Isabel asks Brigette to choose between two fancy breeds, noting which is more difficult to groom and why. Brigette also gives Isabel tips on how pet parents can show their pets' coats, skin, and nails love between grooming appointments and what not to do when playing with pets to keep your pet's ears and groomer's fingers intact when it comes time for a haircut.
