Episode 463: GroomPod 463 Groomer to Groomer Nov 2025 review, and Results Rinse


Listen Later


This week, Susy kicks things off with a rant about a major change in Google's search algorithm. Due to new AI involvement , the podcast's 462 previous episodes are no longer easily searchable, as the new system requires full transcripts to mine data. Susy explains her new process for posting transcripts and asks listeners who can't find an old episode to private message her directly for a link.

The hosts also field a listener question about the Penelo comb brush. They describe it as a "hybrid brush" with cone-shaped tines and share their favorite ways to use it, such as for detangling and helping to shed double-coated dogs during drying.
Next, Susy and Bbird dive into the November 2025 issue of Groomer to Groomer magazine.


  • Highlights include:
  • A discussion (sparked by the October cat issue ) on the benefits of having owners assist during cat grooming.
  • Reviewing an article on "Pet Owners an Underutilized Resource" , leading to a debate on the pros and cons of owners brushing at home.
  • Their pick for the best article: "The Theory Behind the Fluff" by Dylan Gonzalez, which details Asian Fusion styling.
  • Other favorites: an article on exercises at the grooming table , the "flippy dryer" pet peeve article by Jennifer Bishop Jenkins , and Daryl Connor's piece on dryer maintenance.
  • A look at the All American competition winners , including the Day of the Dead-themed People's Choice winner and explanations of the "Compassionate Groomer" and "Clipper Challenge" categories.
  • Finally, the episode provides an in-depth breakdown of Results Rinse , a product Barbara helped Show Season develop. Barbara explains it is an acidifier with detangling ability designed for use when traditional conditioning is too heavy.

    • They cover its many uses:
      Restoring springiness to coats (like Bichons) without adding weight.

    • Clarifying the coat and removing product buildup or smoke odors.

    • Controlling odor by lowering the skin's pH.

    • Speeding up drying time.
    •         Locking in creative color by closing the hair cuticle.

      They also share application tips, including using it in a recirculating system or as a pour-through rinse , and Suzy's favorite "magic bullet" combo: mixing it with Best Shot The Max.
