These photos were taken last Sunday during the Creative Grooming Challenge at the annual Intergroom trade show in New Jersey. It's a chance for dog and cat groomers to get together and check out the latest sheers and shampoos and such. Creative grooming is what it sounds like—elaborate, over-the-top displays of talent, technique, and dog-safe dyes that result in not only insane looking animals but also sets and performances that have taken months to prepare.
