Participants must bring the required tools, cosmetics, and equipment.

 Groomers may use any tools and cosmetics suitable for pets or humans, such as sprays, chalks, powders, and oils.

The choice of haircut, style, and technique is determined by the participant, provided it suits the coat type and breed standards. All cutting and styling must be done during the competition.

Dogs and cats must be clean, in good health, well-groomed, calm, vaccinated, flea-free, and have clean ears.

 Dogs and cats must not be sick or pregnant. Any wounds or skin conditions must be disclosed at inspection.

The coat must be long enough to allow styling changes. Nails must be trimmed, paw pads and interdigital hair clipped (except the top of poodle paws).

Sanitary clipping of the belly and groin areas is allowed, as well as pre-shaving the face and feet of poodles before the competition.

 Whiskers (vibrissae) on cats must not be trimmed.

 The use of natural calming products for cats, such as pheromones (e.g., Feliway), is allowed. Use of sedative drugs is strictly prohibited.

Breaks are allowed, but competition time continues. Leaving the pet unattended is strictly prohibited.

Assistance is allowed only for restraining cats, not for grooming. Any violation may result in point deduction or disqualification.

 After grooming, the table may be covered for display purposes, and the area must be cleaned before judging begins.

Receiving any assistance (verbal or otherwise) from others during the competition is strictly prohibited.

Participants must follow the instructions of judges and organizers, act ethically and respectfully, and must not interfere with the performance of other participants.
