Belle Mead, New Jersey — September 18, 2026

The Modern Canine, a pet store & dog grooming salon serving Belle Mead and the greater Somerset County area, announced today that every member of its team, including groomers, support staff, and ownership, has completed certification in Pet CPR and pet first aid.

The milestone makes The Modern Canine one of the few grooming salons in the Belle Mead and Somerset County area where 100% of on-site staff hold current CPR and first-aid certification for dogs, a standard the salon says reflects its commitment to pet safety as a core part of the grooming experience, not an afterthought.

"Pet parents trust us with a member of their family the moment they walk through our door," said an owner of The Modern Canine. "Making sure every single person on our team, not just the groomers, knows how to respond in an emergency is something we felt was essential."

The training was completed through Paws and Claws 911, a recognized provider of pet first aid and CPR education. Pet CPR and first-aid certification trains staff to recognize and respond to medical emergencies such as choking, cardiac arrest, heatstroke, and other acute health events that can arise during grooming appointments. While not mandated for dog groomers in New Jersey, the certification is increasingly viewed by pet owners as a marker of a salon's professionalism and preparedness.

The Modern Canine offers a full range of grooming services for dogs of all breeds and sizes to clients throughout Belle Mead, Hillsborough, Montgomery, Skillman, Princeton and the surrounding Somerset County community. The salon's team-wide certification is part of an ongoing effort to position The Modern Canine as a trusted, safety-first choice for local dog owners searching for a dependable dog groomer near Belle Mead, NJ.
