Jorge Bendersky

Groomer to the Stars

Jorge Bendersky truly is a celebrity groomer. From models to actors, from billionaires to recording artists, Jorge trims and fluffs the four-legged children of some of the New York City's elite. Jorge's talents will now be seen across the country on Animal Planet's new reality show, "The Groomer Has It".

Born in Buenos Aires, Jorge Bendersky became interested in the sport of dog breeding and showing at a very early age. Growing up on his family's hacienda in Argentina, he inherited the tradition of caring for the animals on the ranch. Jorge also learned to manage all the myriad aspects of ranch life including it's facilities and employees. Later in life, he took on the duty of managing his family's boutique hotels across Argentina. His experience with the family business gives Jorge the ability to work with people AND pets!

His career started at age 11 when Jorge had his own registered kennel and started breeding and showing dogs. At 18, he became the youngest FCI judge to be assigned to a national dog show.
Jorge knows his dogs! In order to pass the rigorous requirements to become a judge, he had to learn the anatomy and genetics of each breed as well as the breed's particular historical importance.

Jorge's experiences lead him to develop a grooming technique where form always follows function. Jorge grooming technique focuses on the dog's environmental changes and styling each dog to fit their lifestyles. The majority of today's dogs, especially city dogs, are personal companions and therefore should reflect the original style of the dog combined with the personal tastes and needs of the client.

When Jorge outgrew Argentina, he arrived to New York City to begin his grooming career. He quickly realized that grooming was his calling. Today he is one of New York's sought-after groomers.
